Blog 6/ Lab 2


    
         At birth, Truman Burbank is legally adopted by a television network to be the unknowing star of a television series, in which his entire life is watched by an audience of millions through many hidden cameras. Christof, the main person behind the idea of the Truman Show constructs a realistic world, called Seahaven, around Truman, which is actually just a large television set. Everyone participating in this created world are actor's/actresses  except for Truman himself. Even his mother, father, and wife are paid actors/actresses. "It's his world we are just living in it" is a great phrase to describe 'The Truman Show".  Throughout his entire life, the television network is on a mission to keep Truman in ignorance of his situation through the manipulation of his environment. He begins to question his reality because of series of events made him seem controlled. He realizes everything he encounters in Seahaven is a lie.
       I feel people shouldn't live a lie. I wouldn't want to be in a place surrounded by a set, actors/actresses, people who are paid to fake emotions. I want to be liked for who i am, not for who i am made to be by others.
          When Truman finally exits Seahaven, I think what he expects to find on the other side of the door is the real world, that is what he is going to find. Truman will find the real world, with real people, with real emotions. The real wold wont be as perfect like the Seahaven but im sure Truman aint going to expect a perfect world, he just wants normal and he knows Seahaven wasn't normal. I also believe he will be paranoid at first and believe everyone is watching him still until he can become accustomed to living his life freely and having the knowledge and control of his life. He will be able to make new friends and create his own family and travel to Fiji as he wished to do while in Seahaven. Because of the falseness he felt being in Seahaven, i believe that is what pushed him to want to travel and explore and now being in the real world he can accomplish that goal. So this is what i believe Truman should expect on the other side of the door when he finally exits Seahaven, Its for the best.
