Truman is just a normal guy living in a normal world, or is he?

Rating: 9/10 (9 September 2016)

The Truman Show was a very interesting movie. I liked a lot because the more you thought about it, the more meaning it could have, but it also made you laugh. At first I was really confused and it seemed pretty weird. As the movie went on the more things started clicking together. It was really well thought out. When you really watch it, you can see what they want to change. The message is still relevant, if not more now. The media is all around us, and sometimes it's hard to tell if they're real or not and if they're for us or against us. We need to break free from the lies of the media and live our own life.
Irony was used many times. It was ironic when the creator, Christof, said that he guarded his privacy, and the other news caster said that it was understandable. They completely violate Truman's privacy by broadcasting his life to the whole entire world 24/7. It was ironic that the people who were cast to do certain jobs could not actually do those jobs in real life, which emphasized the point of just how fake his life really was. Hyperbole was also a main asset in the movie. They exaggerated everything in Truman's daily life by making it a bigger event. Ethos was used because you feel really bad for Truman. It makes you want to stop the media and directors too, which is the point of the whole movie. Overall, it was a great movie with a great message.
