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.
