Great allegory

Rating: 9/10 (30 August 2014)

It is a great movie, making one think about the reality of life. A powerful allegory displayed by the TV show in which everything is fake pushes us to ponder about own world. The conversation between the director and Truman is the best scene of movie as it compares the real life with the fiction one of Truman. Truman choosing to leave the show seemingly steps into liberty but is it so?
In addition i see similarities between the frequently used cave allegory of Plato and this movie. The shadow of real life surrounds Truman and he is not aware of this situation until some production errors occur. After that time he seeks a way to break free from this artificial world.
