주인 잘 만난 애완동물이 행복할까?
우리집 별님이는 밖에 나가서 훨훨 날지 못하니까? 행복하지 않을것이다.
아니 천적도 없고 따뜻하고 먹을것도 있고
바깥세상으로 나가서 날고 싶을것이다.
아니 처음부터 펫스마트에 갖혀있고 우리집와서 새장은 벗어났어도 돌아다니는 집이 전부로 아니까 밖에를 나가본적 없으니 바깥세상이 안그리울것이다...
이런 대화를 점심 먹으며 하다가 본 영화.
작은 섬에서 평범한 삶을 사는 30세 보험회사원 트루먼 버뱅크
아내와 홀어머니를 모시고 행복한 하루 하루를 보내던 어느 날, 하늘에서 조명이 떨어진다!
의아해하던 트루먼은 길을 걷다 죽은 아버지를 만나고 라디오 주파수를 맞추다
자신의 일거수일투족이 라디오에 생중계되는 기이한 일들을 연이어 겪게 된다.
지난 30년간 일상이라고 믿었던 모든 것들이 어딘가 수상하다고 느낀 트루먼은
모든 것이 ‘쇼’라는 말을 남기고 떠난 첫사랑 ‘실비아’를 찾아 피지 섬으로 떠나기로 결심한다.
가족, 친구, 회사… 하나부터 열까지 모든 것이 가짜인 ‘트루먼 쇼’
트루먼은 진짜같은 가짜의 세계에 산다. 아내도, 친구도, 주변 행인들마저도 '역할'을 연기할 뿐 존재 자체로서 존재하지 않는다. 심지어 날씨와 바다와 달마저 인위적으로 만들어진 세트에 불과하다. 트루먼은 자신의 상황을 의심할 수 없었을까? 감독으로 등장하는 크리스토프의 말처럼, 정말로 트루먼에게 의지가 있었다면 모든 상황을 의심했을까?
이러한 관점에서 볼 때 트루먼이 10,000일 넘게 세트장에 살면서도 자신의 삶을 의심하지 않았던 것은 어쩌면 당연해보인다. 트루먼은 태어날 때부터 주변의 인물과 환경이 완벽히 통제되었고, 자신이 사는 섬을 벗어날 수 없도록 교육받았다. 즉, 트루먼의 가치관과 자의적 선택이라고 생각했던 것들이 사실은 주변 환경의 영향을 받으며 살아왔기에 그것을 자의적으로 벗어날 방법이 없었다. 제작진조차 예상하지 못한 돌발 상황에 무언가 의심하기는 하지만, 그마저도 실비아의 도움이 없었다면 불가능했을 것이다.
한 집단이 다른 개인의 삶을 완전히 조종하고 있다. 인간이 같은 인간에게 어쩜 그리 잔혹할 수 있는지..
Truman Burbank is the unsuspecting star of The Truman Show, a reality television program which is broadcast live around the clock and across the globe. His entire life has taken place within a giant arcological dome in Hollywood, fashioned to create the seaside town of Seahaven Island, and equipped with thousands of cameras to monitor all aspects of his life. The producers discouraged Truman from wanting to leave Seahaven by instilling him with aquaphobia through the "death" of his TV father in a boating "accident", and by constantly broadcasting and printing messages of the dangers of traveling. All of Seahaven's residents are actors, either acting out a script or repeating lines fed to them by the show's creator and executive producer, Christof. Christof seeks to capture Truman's real emotion and human behavior and give audiences a relatable everyman.
Despite Christof's control, Truman manages to act in unexpected ways. During his college years, Truman was intended to fall in love with and marry co-student Meryl, but he fell in love with another actress, Sylvia. Sylvia managed to bring Truman out of the sight of cameras long enough to warn him that his reality is fake before she was taken away, with her "father" claiming they are traveling to Fiji. While Truman went on to marry Meryl, he continues to fantasize about Sylvia, using scraps from magazines to recreate her face in secret, and seeks travel to Fiji. Outside of the show, Sylvia has become part of a "Free Truman" campaign that demands the end of the show.
The film begins during the thirtieth year of the show. Truman starts noticing unusual events that seem centered on him: a falling spotlight, rain that only falls on him, and a radio channel that precisely describes his movements. Truman spots a disheveled man and recognizes him as his father, who had snuck back into the set, but other actors quickly drag the man away. Despite efforts by Meryl and Truman's best friend Marlon to reassure him, Truman becomes even more suspicious about his life. One day, he takes Meryl by surprise by going on an impromptu road trip, but their way is blocked by increasingly implausible emergencies. Meryl begins to break down from the stress; during an argument with Truman, she breaks character and is taken off the show. Hoping to bring Truman back to a controllable state, Christof re-introduces Truman's father to the show properly, under the guise of having lost his memory after the boating accident. This helps the show regain the ratings lead with audiences.
Truman seems to return to his routines, except that after Meryl moves out he begins sleeping in his basement. One evening the production staff discovers that the sleeping Truman is completely out of their sight. Marlon is sent to check on Truman, finding that he has left a dummy and a tape recorder in his place and disappeared through a makeshift tunnel. Marlon breaks character, and Christof orders the first transmission cut in the show's history while a citywide search for Truman is launched. Audiences around the world are drawn to this sudden change. Truman is found sailing out of Seahaven, having conquered his fear of water, and Christof resumes the broadcast as he sends a man-made lightning storm to try to capsize the boat. Network executives fear that Truman may die on live television, but Truman manages to persist. Realizing he cannot dissuade Truman any further, Christof ends the storm.
Truman continues to sail until – to his surprise – his boat punctures the wall of the dome. He finds an exit door, but Christof, speaking directly to Truman through a speaker system, tries to convince him to stay, stating there is "no more truth" in the real world and that by staying in his artificial world, he would have nothing to fear. Truman considers this, then states: "In case I don't see you... good afternoon, good evening, and good night," previously his unwitting catch-phrase, takes a bow, and leaves. Sylvia races to meet Truman, while Christof's supervisors end the show for the last time and the viewers of his show start looking for something else to watch.
