The Truman Show was a fascinating movie that captures the idea of living life the way you want to live it and searching for the right thing until you have found it. In this movie, the main character, Truman Burbank lives in a town called Seahaven which is actually a television show. The beginning of the movie definitely has a few innuendos to what is actually happening. Everyone in Truman's town are actors and no aspect of his life is real, but he doesn't know this. Throughout the movie, the idea of having a "perfect life" is definitely inflated as a reason for why Truman should stay in Seahaven and why be kept unaware of what is actually going on in the world and what he is actually apart of. The actors all try to keep him in the dark and anything that could give him a hint to what is actually going on is hidden. This eventually leads to the paranoid side of The Truman Show. As we view Truman's world, we watch as he begins to find one thing odd and then another, until he is very paranoid and he wants to scrutinize everything in the town that seems odd. This was interesting to watch because as an audience, you already know what is going on. You are waiting and hoping that Truman will also figure out the truth and escape his fake world to, finally, live a real life instead of his artificial one.
