Essay On The Trueman Show

Few years ago, my friend recommended me a movie, The Trueman Show. The film tells a story about a guy called Trueman, he was born in front of a live audience. Each move of him has been captured by thousands of cameras in the big studio. Christof, the director of this show, set up a perfect life for Trueman. After Truman knew he was living in a fake world, he decided to leave and pursue a true life that he really wants. This film changed the way I think about my life. At first, I did not understand why Trueman chose to leave a wonderful life that most people want to have. Then I realize there is no point to pretend living in a world if you cannot even be yourself. To be myself is the greatest inspiration this movie gave me. The Trueman Show uses an extreme way to remind us to think if we still have feelings in today’s world. Who am I,
I was growing up in a family that my parents arrange almost everything for me. My parents always tell me “I know it is good for you”. Sometimes I feel they were protecting me too much. I respect and love them but does not mean I should listen to them everything. When I was 16, I decided to study abroad in the US. It was a hard decision for my family. Under my insistence they finally agreed. Few years later I learned how to take care of myself. Imagine if I still stay with them, choose a university that close to home, study a business major cause they always want me to, and after graduate go to work that they arranged for me. It sounds good but that is not want I want. During these years my parents have changed the way they treat me as well, they will give me advices but let me to decide. Even though the distance between us is far, but our relationship is even closer. Study abroad is just a way to discovering myself and I never regret this decision. I think Trueman will also learn to adapt to the real society and find himself after he leave the studio that he is familiar
