The Truman Show
In the movie Truman Show, Jim Carry was the mean character which he was born and raised in a world were he believed it was true. Other reality shows television shows such as “The Bachelor”, “Survivor”, or the Real World are similar but not the same. The difference is that in the Truman show Jim didn’t know his hole life was broad on television while the other shows the characters in the shows volunteer and know they are being recorded. As well as the characters could leave the show when they choose to or when they violate a rule. There is also a major difference in the Truman show from others, is that the characters are not own by the Corp while Jim was adopted by one. The creator of the show Christof can be compared to god for Jim. Since he is the one that controlled his hole life since he was a baby. He gave him the life he knows and the family he was raised up and can easily take it away. He also controlled Jim’s environment with the weather and surroundings. When Truman finally discovers the truth about his reality and fights his way out. I believe he will find himself lost and not knowing what to do. Since in Seaheaven he was given a secure chance were in the real world he will have to deal with neglect and lost. I’m sure he will find his way to Silvia, and she will help him out and teach him about the real world which he haven’t seen.
