The Truman show is a movie made by Christopher, which is the producer of it. It is a reality based movie where Truman, the main character is being filmed 24 hours a day without knowing it. He is being filmed since his birth, day by day. He lives in a town named Seahaven , where everything seems beautiful.

 He has a well-behaved wife that works as a nurse, who never has any reasons of arguing, he is working as a salesman for an insurance company. Together they make an ideal couple. And Truman has a great personality he is very communicative, as he greets his neighbors every morning “Good morning, and in case that I don’t see you, good evening and good night” all this ends up on a day when Truman notices that everything is too perfect around him. That’s when he discovers that his life is being recorded and that everything is a lie around him, nothing is real.

Consequently, Christopher the crazy producer, had spent almost half of his life trying to make a perfect world where there doesn’t exist problems, stress, fight or robberies, as it usually happens in real life, a world where everything is perfect . Although this might be true, but I don’t agree with the producer, because he is not a God that can rule or judge someone’s life. We are all human beings that have to learn through experience what respect, failure, and success means.

Following this, Christopher shouldn’t have filmed Truman without his permission; it is not right to foolish somebody in such a cruel way.  The producer should’ve become known as normal people do, through hard work and practice, but not using poor man’s living instead, just for the name of fame and advertisement.

I wouldn’t want to experience living the way Truman did. Just thinking about being watched by millions of people on what you doing every day, it scares me away. Even if sometimes I wish I had recorded all my childhood, my trips and the important events I still wouldn’t agree to be filmed 24 hours.  I am positive that there are many different ways to record your life, and at the same time live a full and real life.
