If one day, you find yourself with a well-choreographed script. Familiar people are hired actors, and the scenes of life are the stages that are built. You will pretend not to know, and continue to be confused in the familiar illusion; Or is it desperate to break out of the cage and search for the truth in an unfamiliar reality?
This is the daily life of the protagonist of the movie "Truman's World", and it is also his understanding of us. It has been 25 years since the release of this movie, but it has been regarded as a classic by countless people. I used to think that the director had a big brain, but after many years, I realized that there was actually a metaphor for the lives of countless people behind it.
Is the life we experience real or a fake show?
When I watched the movie, I felt that Truman's world was so hypocritical that it was terrifying. Lovers and friends are fake, work and life are fake, and even what you think is fake. Imprisoned in a false world, unaware, let alone self-helping. But if you think about it, this is not what we take for granted every day. How many people, under the "expectations" of society and parents, confine themselves to the appearance that the outside world loves to see.
Your own life should not be someone else's script
Each of us is a Truman, and we all live in a script woven by the outside world. The expectations of our families, the direction of the wind, and the stereotypes of society all hinder our choice. We always want to be directors of life, but most of the time we are just actors with superb acting skills. Only a very small number of brave people dare to escape from the "world of Truman" and live their true selves.
Everyone is the director of their own life
We have the right to determine the trajectory of our lives, rather than passively playing the role designed by others. Finding the path of truth and freedom is not easy, but it is the process that shapes our unique lives. "Truman's World" is an adventure about the essence of life, which leads us to think about the boundaries between the real and the unreal, the choices and dilemmas of life, and the desire to pursue truth and freedom. Let's face these questions bravely and become the director of our own lives.
