Fake Love in The Truman Show

Truman Paper The term fake love in itself does not make that much sense. How can someone express love, which is feeling that provides unconditional caring and commitment, and then call it fake. The only real way to have fake love for someone is to not love at all, but just to think you love. In the movie The Truman Show there are many individuals whom exhibit an illusion of love for the main character, …

…creator, Christof. Christof from the very first time we see him has an illusion of loving Truman. Obviously though he does not have true love for Truman because he never lets him know the truth so he can choose for himself. So it can be seen that everyone in Truman’s life carries a mask around. They would like to love him but they always have a lie separating them, which makes the love impossible.
