In class we watched a movie called the Truman show. Jim Carey plays Truman, a man that is a star of a reality show. The only catch is that he is not aware that he's staring in the show. He has been the star of this show through birth. Truman family are actors that are hire to play his mother and father. His whole entire life is a lie. He is confided to a place called seahaven. A man named Christof is the person that is keeping Truman enslave for all those years. But if you ask Christof he will claim that he’s doing this for Truman good, however his not. Christof is playing God with Truman’s life.

There was one person ,out of the entire cast of this reality show that felt guilty and sadden by what was taking place to Truman. This character name in the movie was Sylvia. She was cast to be a possible love interest to Truman, and she played the role well. Truman had a instinct attraction to this woman. There was a scene in the movie where Truman was dancing with his wife, however looking at Sylvia the entire time. Christof felt that this woman may develop into a problem for the entire show,that's when he eventually cast her off. Before she left she decide to tell Truman what was taking place, the fact that his entire life was a lye. That nothing is true. Like for example in Socrates story the Allegory of the Cave. When the prisoner broke free,and he came back to tell the others. They didn’t want to believe the fact that they have been imprison all of these years, just like Truman was. So a few years have pass then Truman began to question many aspects of his life.One key point is when he was in his car and the radio was telling his every move.Right then he know something was up.But the real reveration came to him when he faced one of his biggest fears, by going on the sea search of a new world.When Truman came to face with that brick wall he knew it was it.That was the first same time he heard Christof. The man that kept him in bondage his entire life. However Christof felt as if he didn't do any wrong. He spoke to Truman as he was his son.He told him that here you are safe,and protected from the outside world,and for his entire life he had brought so much happiness to the viewers.Then Truman was faced with the choice of staying seahaven and leaving.Truman made the best possible choice ,which was to break free from the chains, and live the life he was suppose to live. The one that was meant for him, not scipted for him.
