Movie Review: The Truman Show

What if our life was not the life we actually think of? What if all that we believe is a lie and someone is manipulating each and every event that is happening in our lives? And what if we are not the person we thought and believe we are?

The Truman Show a 1998 science fiction film which main character is Truman Burback played by the well-known hollywood actor and comedian Jim Carry. The whole story of the movie is the filming the entire chronicles and life of Truman, his life was a whole lie and that the God he believe is a director watching each moves he made and carefully organizing each and every event of Truman's life and the people all over his place was all actors and actresses who play certain roles for Truman's life, from his school days to the death of his father, and even his marriage life all was planned, organized and lie.

The climax of the story is when Truman met a girl named Sylvia which he felt love at first sight during school days and that the girl give him a hint that all that he believe was a lie and that someone is controlling each moment in his life and there is an outside world which was the real world and for him to discover it he should pull himself out from the place he believe was real all his life.

Trumans life is like a prisoner he is even worst than a prisoner, a prisoner lives in a crucial but real world while Truman lives in a whole lie, he was separated from the girl he truly loves, he believe in a father who died for him and then returning back from a "so-called" amnesia after he saw him in the streets and that he is actually a prisoner inside the biggest dome man has ever made.

As a viewer, a critic, a fan and a christian, the film was an eye opening for the idea of what if there is someone out there who is really manipulating each and every event in our life like Truman's, and what things we believe that real are actually complete lies and that maybe there is someone watching us not as a god himself but a certain entity who manipulates lives of other people...
