Rating: 7/10 (9 September 2017)

The Truman show was an exciting and all together enjoyable experience that makes people question whether or not they are being watched by others or by a higher authority. For those who have never seen the Truman show it is about a man named Truman how has been on television broadcast his entire life without his knowledge. To add to the fact all his friends and loved ones are actors hired and payed to be his friend and family they are all scripted to like or dislike him. This movie uses irony exceptional well in the format of Blame by Praise. It is praising the use of surveillance technology to monitor people without their knowledge. Just like big brother not the reality TV show but the government surveillance, but it is real condemning surveillance of people against their knowledge. That is one of the reasons I liked this movie so much it had many different levels. The base level of funny humor and how that situation could never happen, but then it gets into levels where it makes you think about whether or not with the increasing technology it could real happen or if someone is already doing it. There are other meanings that are explored like that of free will and whether or not people want to make there own choices or to have them made for them. Or is ignorance bliss and the more knowledge you gain the more you become suspicious of the world and others. The Truman show is a great commentary on the nature of surveillance and what are humans really like without putting up a front.
