People were always concerned about some aspects of their life. Since the birth of humanity, they have been looking for answers to such questions as a sense of human life, origins of knowledge, peoples interaction with this world, and a lot of others. Philosophy appeared as the science that was trying to answer these questions. Philosophers developed different concepts and ideas to explain certain issues. However, there are no direct answers to philosophical questions; that is why they remain actual. Humans thrust for knowledge stimulates further development of philosophy and its reflection in different kinds of art, including cinema. The movie The Truman Show is that sort of film which touches the problem of a persons realization of this world and his place in it. The main character Turman Burbank lives in an artificial world, which is made for entertaining the viewers. He does not know this fact, trying to live his life as far as it is possible in this world.

However, his life changes totally when he starts to hear a voice in his head, which comments his every action. Having recognized the fact that this voice belongs to a famous writer and everything he made was according to her book, he faces the problem. He cannot decide whether to struggle or to obey, accepting his fate. The issue of the authentic individual is touched in the movie. In philosophy, this term is used to describe the degree to which personality is true to itself. Harold leads his life, but the viewer cannot be sure that there are his actions and that he acts on his own will. Being doomed to die, he, however, managed to change his life. This is the main idea of the movie. It shows the viewer that only recognition of his own identity and life helps Harold to survive and obtain himself. The movie makes us think about being authentic individuals and living our own life. The problem of fate has alway
