不要重复楚门的生活，要勇敢的面对一切，勇于寻找，让美好占据一切，即使自己被欺骗了，因为，那柔软的心灵是属于我们自己的'，乌云永远遮不住太阳。
楚门的世界
Jim Carrey proved he could play it straight (well, at least a portion of the time) as a family man in Liar Liar, his 1997 comedy blockbuster. With The Truman Show, the elastic-faced, loose-limbed dynamo shows he can also be as serious as needed, in the title role of this imaginative tale of an electronic-age guinea pig. Screenwriter Andrew Niccol, whose directing debut, Gattaca, cautioned against the potential tyranny of genetic advances, again finds reasons for paranoia in technological progress, as an innocent named Truman Burbank becomes the unknowing, all-consuming subject of a 24-hour television network. Niccol's unconventional fable is superbly realized by director Peter Weir (Fearless, Dead Poets Society, Witness), who fashions a disorienting visual style to fit the artifice and pent-up anxiety of Truman's world.
Niccol and Weir shrewdly immerse the audience in this oddly cheerful environment, without immediate explanations of what's really going on behind its sunny fa?ade. Truman lives with his wholesome wife Meryl (Laura Linney) in a picture-perfect house in the squeaky-clean island community of Seahaven, where he works for a large insurance firm. His days paby uneventfully, until a series of incidents shake him out of his complacency: A huge piece of lighting equipment falls out of the sky. A homeleman appears who looks just like Truman's dead father. Strange radio transmissions, like stage directions, come out of his car radio. For the first time, Truman begins to suspect that something is rotten in Seahaven.
Nearly halfway through the film, we learn the truth: Since birth, Truman has been watched by a phalanx of hidden cameras, his every waking move transmitted to an increasingly addicted, international television audience. Seahaven is actually the world's largest studio set; the sky, the ocean, the stars and the sunsets are fakes, and the weather is controlled by outside forces. What's more, everyone Truman encounters in his daily routine is an actor-even his wife and his best friend Marlon (Noah Emmerich) are on the payroll. This enormous charade is the handiwork of Christof (Ed Harris), a megalomaniacal conceptual artist who sees nothing wrong with the mass-appeal social experiment he's concocted. Christof has kept Truman from puncturing the boundaries of his world by staging a childhood boating accident in which the boy's father apparently drowned; Truman has been deathly afraid of the water ever since. The other key incident in Truman's life was unplanned-a budding romantic affair with a 'college student' who tried to spill the secret of Seahaven, but was suddenly sent away to the island of Fiji (or so Truman believes).
楚门的世界观后感：跟随你的心(Follow Your Heart)
Honestly, I have seen few movies, no matter Chinese movies or foreign movies. Therefore, I treated movies only as entertainment before. I never thought that a movie can have profound meaning and can provoke my thoughts on my life and the world.
It is always true that people hold various reviews from different perspectives. My focus on this movie is freedom.
It seems that Truman is familiar with the world he lives. However, he gradually ascertains that his life is exposed on television because a kind-hearted girl Sylvia reminds him to notice his life. Ultimately, Truman overcomes the obstacles both from the “outside” and inside. The “outside” is completely controlled by Christof, the creator of The Truman Show. What he does is to encumber Truman’s leaving in order to maintain his audience. As for Truman himself, he is terrified of the water and dogs. There’s no doubt that these factors impede his escape. Truman’s action proves a saying----“It’s by no means easy to get freedom.”
Imagining a world that everything is arranged for me, what should I do? Like Truman, escape from it to pursue my own happiness, or just live the “normal” life-----in such life I’ m unable to discern whether my love loves me whole-heartedly, and my friend is loyal to me or not. That’s the reason why freedom is extremely invaluable. Freedom bestows a variety of choices on me so that I can create my ideal life on my own instead of controlling by others. When it comes to freedom, it is connected with delight and satisfaction. The reason is quite simple: as an adult, I can make decision about selection, no matter it is marvelous or disappointing. It’s my own choice. Furthermore, freedom means little or no burden. It provides me with a chance to put what I intend to do into practice without fear of failure. Like the rainbow on the sky after several days’ heavy rain, freedom is the precious treasure one finally get through struggle. For Truman, maybe the “new” world waiting for him is not so perfect, however, he, as human being, belongs to it instead of television.
Similarly, together with the movie The Shawshank Redemption, they exert inspiring impact on me. At the beginning, I think that they are accustomed to their situation. But, both of them choose a new life full of unbeknown changes. They are brave enough to challenge their limitations. Their perseverance also plays a significant role on their way to pursue freedom. Only this real world, blending angel with devil, can offer them reality and security.
Truman’s experience attests that people must pay for their pursuit of freedom. Sometimes, obtaining freedom means that people have to give up their routine life which is hard for them to get rid of. Sometimes, gaining freedom means people have to experience tough test. If they have the capability to pass through it, they win and gain freedom. But if they fail to pass, maybe freedom will be a distant dream they can hardly achieve.
Mental freedom is easier than physical freedom in my sight. In light of Truman’s saying----“You never had a camera in my head.” No one can pour his or her thoughts into my mind which I’m not interested in. I own the freedom to imagine freely, however, others have no rights to interfere. But, just imagine. That is what I consider as mentally free. Physical freedom is always a symbol of endeavoring and honing. Truman experiences heavy storm that ordinary people can’t bear, cheat and privacy exposal. At last, he reaches the path leading to freedom, hence, I understand the truth----Don’t count on imagination only, sometimes it turns out to be mirage. What I need to do is to spare no effort to turn my dream into reality.
It is Truman himself who impedes his way to acquire freedom. Meanwhile, it’s also himself who paves the way for freedom. There’s no denying that his choice depends on his resolution and courage. It reminds me that I myself is the final one to make decision and be responsible for my future.
Christof says, “He (Truman) can leave at any time if he has more than just a vague ambition, if he was absolutely determined to discover the truth.” His words apply to freedom pursuit, not for Truman only, but also for all “true men”.
People won’t cherish what they get smoothly, it’s so normal that people forget it quickly. The beauty of freedom indwells not in the consequence, but in the process, especially the process of struggling, endeavoring and conceiving. People always bear in mind their spectacular and unusual experience and they perceive it as their permanent possession. Youth and life should not be conservative, and people should not waste time on boggling. If people have no idea what to do for their future, just calm down and follow the voice of their heart. Hear is the source of power, inspiration, courage and so forth. Heart never lies to people. So, hearing the voice of heart, plus endeavor, one day people have the ability to obtain freedom so that their dreams will come true.
楚门是个普通人，普通得就像生活在我们身边。他有许多的欲望，又很容易满足。因此，他有时欣喜若狂，有时如丧考妣，大多的时候则彷徨郁闷，不知所措。这时，天才的导演又有了用武之地，他不断地制造新的刺激，使他的长剧变得波澜起伏，吊人胃口。他在楚门快乐的时候便给他制造些麻烦，在其沮丧的时候，则不失时机地给其开启一线生机。他让金发女郎如言情小说般突然出现在楚门的视线中，开启他爱欲的阀门，又让她突然离去，使其心灵坠入无底的深渊;他让楚门从未谋面的“已故父亲”突然现身，夸张滑稽的相认场面令其热泪盈眶，同时也赚取了电视观众的热泪;他又让楚门的知心朋友在其情绪恶劣的时候去关怀他、开导他，令其感受到这“荒漠中的甘泉”而重生信心，虽然那位朋友只是一个演员，而且正背着大段台词……
很佩服电影中那位才华横溢、不可一世的天才导演，他让人想到了上帝，同时看到那个软弱、疲惫、徨惑的楚门被一次次的虚伪所玩弄，还是对生活和前途充满了乐观时，我的内心就一阵阵地酸楚，我不忍面对——不忍面对一个真实的“我们”!
“人生如戏，戏如人生”，哲人如此感叹，但人生舞台上的演员——我们，是不是时刻都有一种演戏的自觉呢?还是在上帝的欺瞒和安排下，忘我地做着无意义的事呢?快乐，不
足以使我们热爱这个世界;挫折，不足以使我们抛弃这个世界。上帝就像那个天才的导演一样，掌握着很好的度，他知道该在何时给我们当头一棒，何时又给我们烧起暖暖的火炉，他使我们在痛苦中保持希望，在希望中忍受痛苦，因为痛苦制造着剧情的波澜，也制造着收视率，希望则是赏给我们的出场费，使我们不至于中途罢演。
电影的末尾，楚门是觉悟了的，他对着摄影机，真的向“上帝”罢演了。天才的导演恐慌了，他将失去观众，他竭力挽留楚门，告诉他离开了导演控制的世界是很危险的，但楚门还是走出了那扇门，走向那个黑漆漆的未知世界，他说不管那个世界中等待他的是什么，他都不在乎。佛家有“顿悟”一说，并说人的本性自足圆满，是人世的尘埃覆盖了它，使它迷失。看来楚门是顿悟了，他要找回那个失去的自我，那个自足圆满、自由自在的本性。
《金刚经》语：“凡所有相，皆是虚妄，若见诸相非相，则见如来。”戏装迟早要褪去，布景也迟早要撤下，演戏的时候则生龙活虎地演一场，只是别忘了过过看戏的瘾，随时让另一个“我”——本我，走下舞台，在观众席上，呷一口茶，看看戏台上的“我”和“他们”，鼓几下掌，流几滴泪，明白了这一点，便接近顿悟了。其实，我们跨不跨出那扇门又有什么关系?因为我们的心灵已经跨了出去。

As the movie started,Trueman's life was peaceful and warm,filled with happyness,of which we may be envious.Everything went on wheels,such as the first footstep,the first time to go to school,the first kiss and the first marriage.This life should be pretty comfortable,and it's just the one which most people want.
However,everyone in the movie knew Trueman in detail.They watched him raised up.Outside the island ,people watched it just like a interesting movie focus on one's privacy.On the island,people acted all the roles in society,they did the same thing with sham day after day ,for instance,that twins seems like good oldies,said so much to pleasure Trueman,but they didn't really want to help him,that is,didn't want to buy any insurance.So,they were politely ,say hello to him "Good morning,good afternoon,good evening and goodnight!" His mother,wife ,even the best friend pretended to encourage and understand him.what's a pity!
Where are your spirit and soul? How can a person live without freedom and ideality?
Trueman found that his father still alive ,and he still love the first girl deeply in his heart.Finally,he wanted to go Fiji and left this "lucky homeland".He went to several agencies of transporting,while the ships were gone or destroyed,the airport had no ticket.Then he drove his own car,but the road was round and round.When he found one way to escape,amazing that,the police knew him and brought him home.He realize he must do it all by himself.The faith of love and freedom gave him the brave heart to defeat the stormy sea.
At the end,Christopher try to persuade him back to the island,Trueman made his choice,"In case I don't see you,good afternoon goodevening and goodnight"
There may be more dangerous ,sham and cheat out of the island ,but all of this come from nature and society not from the people stared him all the day.
We learn from Trueman that we should have a brave heart to pursuit the thing which in our inner heart instead of setting for the surface of our life!
《楚门的世界》英文影评
Unusually intelligent Jim Carrey movie - a provocative and prescient media satire. Puts Big Brother and the current spate of docu-soaps firmly into perspective
Truman Burbank (Carrey) is a happily married insurance salesman living a normal life in a small American town so perfect that he has never felt the need or desire to leave it. He has a loving wife (Linney), and a loyal best buddy (Emmerich). Life is good until one morning a stage light drops from the skies and shatters on the ground perilously close to him. It is the trigger that sets him questioning everything around him. What is behind the facades of the buildings he has never entered? Why do people seem to be travelling around him in a perfectly synchronized loop? What is going on outside his home-town? Truman is, it turns out, the unwitting star of a top-rated 24-hour-a-day TV docu-soap.
Under the careful critical scrutiny to which it has been subjected, the plot turns out not to be watertight. This is to miss the point of what is a hilarious and breathtakingly conceived satire which also allows Carrey to edge away from broad comedy.
The Truman Show is also oddly moving and has, as you would expect from a Weir film, a pronounced metaphysical slant with Ed Harris playing the show"s archly named producer/creator Christof.
Verdict
One of the cinematic highlights of the 1990s, The Truman Show is up there with Weir"s very best work.
楚门的世界英文观后感
When I first saw 'The Truman Show' I came out of the theatre amazed. This is your first clue that you are watching something different from your normal Jim Carrey movie. I love the dialogue, camera shot, performances, direction, music, and running time of this movie. There is nothing I would do to change it. I came away from 'The Truman Show' feeling inspired which is the goal of good filmmaking Jim Carrey was outstanding as Truman, underplaying him, not making him too comic or too dramatic, but giving true sincerity when asked. He deserved an Oscar nomination. Ed Harris has always been a good actor, but in this movie he's a great actor. He plays Christof with such arrogance and bullheadedness that you don't know whether he's helping or destroying Truman. He and the director, Peter Weir, deserved their Oscar nods.
Weir, who directed the great 'Witness', uses different camera angles to make you feel like you're actually watching 'The Truman Show' and not a movie. He ends it before you get tired of the concept and helped Carrey and Harris give immaculate performances. Andrew Niccol script is a real star in the movie too because of it's inventiveness and ingenuity. Overall, 'The Truman Show' is what I like to call a true American classic.
