Truman Show review

Interpretation of The Truman Show The brilliantly conceived and imperfectly executed satire, The Truman Show, shows us a character who challenges – and ultimately escapes from – a contrived world that is an invention of media. This movie delivers the message that we will must to stand up to the manipulators of television and news if we want to protect ourselves from the absurdity and dishonesty that surrounds us at every turn. The Truman Show conveys this …

…because they have the misfortune to be part of some "newsworthy" event. And both the audience and Truman portray our willingness to experience an easier and more exciting substitute for life, which is what fuels the media machine. So, Truman and the audience in the movie depict us. We're the villains, victims and hero of The Truman Show. And, ultimately, the only illusions we have to escape are the ones we create ourselves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
