The Truman Show was a very interesting movie. It was all based on the life of a man who was unknowingly filmed his whole life. Everyone that knew him and that he was "friends" with were really actors being fed lines to say to him. There were hidden cameras everywhere and he was filmed 24/7. His whole life was planned but the experiences he went through were real. That is why in my opinion his life was real in a sense but unreal in another.
The reason i thin that his life was real is because he didn't exactly know he was being filmed. He never knew that there were thousands of hidden cameras everywhere watching his every move. Everyone knew he was on TV except for him. Even though his wife was set up for him, the feelings he felt for her were still real. His job was real in a sense that he had a routine and went to that job everyday. He got the bacon for him and his family and therefor to me, it seemed real that he had a job and a life. His fear of water was also real because no one told him to think that and no one told him to be afraid of water. When Truman was born, he was born a human and his parents loved and cared for him like any other child. His life was technically real when he was by himself.
The fake perspective of his life was that it was a TV show. There were cameras following him everywhere and the whole world was watching his life go by. But then again, there was the real perspective of his life because that was how he saw it. Everything was real to him and the life he lived was real in his mind. Overall though i do believe that his life was fake and it was not real because it was all set up and contrived.

Vaughn Mills
The trip to Vaughn Mills was overall a pretty sweet trip. The bus ride was a long one but it was worth it when we got there. we arrived there and listened to a five minute presentation about the history of the mall. The lady who did the presentation told us all the important facts and interesting things about Vaughn Mills. I learned that it is the largest one floor mall in Ontario and it is pretty popular. Everything about it was nice. The floors, the shops and the food court were very nicely decorated. I liked how it was split up into different sections. They were different "neighborhoods" consisting of Lakes, Nature, Rural, Fashion, City and small towns. That was pretty cool and it was easy to find your away around. I didn't like how it didn't have the stores that i like to shop at the most, including hollister, abercrombie, etc. The different sections attracted different age groups which was very cool and easy to shop with. Changes i would make include adding more stores and maybe a few more fast food restaurants.
