We are easy to criticize the world we live in and the way society runs on a daily basis. Many say its a cruel world and how they would change it in a quick second if they could, but would you really want to make everything around you perfect ? Christof was able to make this possible for Truman Burbank in the 1998 drama-comedy film "The Truman Show." This film showed the idea of a producer and creator Mr. Christof adopting an unborn but unwanted child by the name of Truman. He then sets up the perfect town of Seahaven which is a dome under where everyone is an actor to live around Truman. He's is set to live the most perfect life and be broad casted on a 24/7 schedule with thousands of tiny cameras scattered around the town capturing his every move. Now many may think this is the most convenient and great way to live with little worries and perfect standard of living everywhere you go. But I for one don't believe this is fair and it's cruel to have someone living that way and not knowing what the real world is. I would prefer living in the real world in which I live in today because even though there is a lot of evil and problems to deal with it's still our home and wouldn't want to live a lie.
Truman lived the most perfect life under Christof's dome with most concepts going his way having a home and a wife, a great job. But he also had many issues that kept him in Seahaven in the first place such as the death of his "father" and with making flights and travel an impossible mission for him. Truman was living in an unbarred cell where we was the entertainment for the audience he wasn't given the liberty to do anything he wished to do starting from he was a little boy and it's very upsetting to know people will sacrifice another humans life for entertainment and money. I believe Christof also had a message towards Truman and the audience by showing how good of a world it can be if we all lived by the rules and didn't corrupt society. Its an exceptional message but delivered in the wrong way by sacrificing Truman in the middle of all of it.
