The Truman Show is a dystopia because of the morally wrong intentions and the control over a person’s life. How would you feel if you lived thirty years in a fake life? This is a reality for one man. Truman is living in a tv show surrounded by actors. He is the only one left in the dark about his fake life. Truman has a wife and a normal job. He has a best friend and dreams for the future. Truman is an ordinary man, the only difference is his life has been broadcasted since he was born. This…

Hydrangea is a short film that shows the contrast between a perfect life on TV and what actually happens when the cameras are off. Sometimes when we watch a TV show or even a commercial, it can be easy to forget that the people acting on screen aren't the people we're seeing. With every situation fabricated and every reaction scripted and the actors given chance after chance to react perfectly, the audience can see a presentation of reality that simply isn't true. Each actor has a life outside…

Society and freedom are contradictory. Societal forces are detrimental to the human spirit. The novel, The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the film, The Truman Show by Peter Weir, and the short story, “The Yellow Wallpaper” written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, all are related to the contradicting themes of society and freedom. The more one is influenced by the society, the less freedom he has. Being free in a society that is savage has negative consequences. Freedom that one does not earn…

‘The Truman Show’(1998, directed by Peter Weir) is a film about Truman Burbank(Jim Carrey), a man living in a world entirely constructed for him. Truman is the star of a reality TV show - but he doesn’t know it. He was orphaned as a child and therefore taken in by the TV cooperation and put in a world where everything is a set, everyone he meets is an actor, and every object holds a camera; through which his entire life is broadcasted to the rest of the world. I found this story to be very…

Truman had almost no privacy, very little freedom, and was psychologically abused. It is obvious that Truman did not enjoy his constant surveillance because one of the only views he shared Christof was, "You never had a camera in my head.". The only privacy Truman had was his thoughts, which made him feel incredibly violated and drew him to insanity. The production chose "to manufacture ways to keep Truman in Seahaven" by psychologically torturing and playing mind games with him. As the days…

As Christof presents the idea of Sea Haven being a utopia, it becomes more of a dystopia for Truman. For Christof Sea Haven is an ideal place for a person like Truman to love in since there seems to be little crime, Truman has a good job, a house in suburbia, and good materialistic possessions like a car and lawn mower. When it comes to Truman however it seems that the idea of a “perfect” world like Christof believed Sea Haven to be, but that couldn’t be farther away from the truth. Christof…

The Giver and Truman Show Imagine being pulled into a life with zero privacy. And then you find out that your friends aren’t really your friends. They’re just acting like they are your friends. And then see someone you love and care about taken away. Or to see one of your parents taken by death. Or never get to meet them. In The Giver and in The Truman Show the main character’s have to deal with these type of problems. The main character for the Giver is Jonas. In the Truman show the main…
