6. Truman Show



I really impressed from this film because we can see all bad effects of reality shows. The main character,Truman Burbank is not aware that every people watch his life. Before he realised that he is the part of the one show, he thought that he has a good marriage,friends and job. Also he believed that he had lost his dad on sea accident. I think this film shows that reality shows exploit emotions both audiences and people who take part in it to increase rating levels. For example,audiences in this film believe that all touching stories about him is real and then they started to cry with him or laugh with him. Also they watch his life without thinking their responsibilities which they had to do(barmaids make comments about his life instead of doing their jobs and policeman do not interest with people while watching this show).
Creator of this show Cristof said that" I create a wonderful life for Truman and outside word is a sick one ,he cannot be happy there." Actually this opinions summarize all producer's general idea about their shows because they directly intervene people's life and they design everything according to their demands,rights and aims without thinking people's own decisions.For example, in this film, Truman loved Lauren but he married a woman who determined by the creator.Moreover he wanted to go different places but every attempts were obstructed.
