This paper will also explore the Psychoanalytic theory through the character Truman Burbank and his day-to-day routine and lifestyle.

Truman is better off making the choice to leave the constructed reality because he deserves a life just like any other human being. Christof taking Truman when he was a baby and putting him in this constructed reality was cruel and out of his decision. At the end when Christof was trying to persuade Truman to stay at his constructed reality he made it seem as a utopia place when in reality it isn’t because his whole life was a lie. Christof would have done anything to keep Truman in that…

Cannery Row is the gathered and scattered, tin…

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…

The search for the real world is never fulfilled until it has been experienced by the individual. The modification in the surrounding and the environment one is born into is never easy to change because they are more comfortable in that situation. Similar scenarios have been depicted in Allegory of the cave and The Truman show. Allegory of the cave is a theory of Plato, who is a well-known philosopher in human perception. The theory talks about the disputable idea which many do not understand.…
