The Truman Show/ Starring Jim Carrey,Ed Harris; Director/Peter Weir; 1998.

A movie that shows us how people can work on faking life for others. And how shocking it is for people to realize how their past life was not real, was fake, was built on nothing  absolutely nothing. In the movie it is so easy to restart a new life; but in reality it is not easy at all.. it might even be not possible to make a restart.
How horrible it is this process of life faking for personal interest and benefit. No one has the right to do that, not individuals, not organizations and not even parents as mentioned at the last scene of the movie.

When Truman wanted to leave his fake life longing to find something more real, he went to a travel agency. In the office was a big poster with a plane in a storm saying "It could happen to you." When THEY do not want someone to travel, this is what they tell. And ...............
That is why it is tremendously important to learn to follow our own hearts,move with our own motives, finding out ourselves our own roads in life.. Trusting whom we KNOW and FEEL would be trusted.

Hide the truth is a common attitude at the time that all we need is the truth. The movie incredibly shows how we could be led and intruded by others into unreal situations, unreal lives.

When life becomes that fake, anything true would not fit and is kicked away automatically making the job easy for the beneficiaries.
I loved the movie specially when I could read between the lines. It is breath taking just imagining applying this movie on our lives. The most touching scene was the last one? the director did a great job expressing the shock of ?Truman? discovering that all his life has been totally fake.
Truman, the main character could have so easily continued his life as it is in its routine without finding out it was fake, but the human part in him, his intuition, his need of a real life? all this represented in very strong desire helped him discover and find out the reality and all this encouraged him to restart at the age of 30 a bran new true life.
