Almond’s film review is interpreted from an unexpected perspective. The definition of the blurring line between reality and illusion is not like a film review of a comedy film, but like a metaphysical philosophical work and a science fiction. Movie reviews, this is really a very interesting thing.
But I have to admit that Almond's views have won the approval of many people, and almost everyone has appeared more or less, deeper or shallower, similar ideas. With Almond's interpretation, "Trumen's World" can be viewed from another angle. This is really a very interesting thing: the taste of science fiction can be seen from comedy movies.
This film review published by Almond in the "New York Times", with the affirmation of a perfect score of 100, Almond gave himself the highest praise. For such a comedy movie, such a evaluation is almost unimaginable. Even in the long history of film, the works of countless masters of comedy can hardly reach such a high level. This is also an important manifestation of the limitations of comedy movies.
On the other hand, the well-known Roger Ebert published his film reviews in the Chicago Sun for the first time without exception. This film critic who has always maintained an objective and authoritative attitude, after the premiere ceremony. Before he wrote the film review, he told reporters who came to interview, "I am very amazed by Hugo's selective vision."
From this sentence we can see Roger's attitude towards "Trumen's World".
This is also true of the facts. Roger once again gave "Trumen's World" a full score of 100 points, and gave him a four-star strong recommendation. Even Roger himself couldn't help but sigh, "I can't remember anymore. This is the first time I have given Hugo Lancaster a full score and four stars, but I believe this will not be the last time."
"Freedom to death, glory to death", Roger wrote this review with such a very iconic title. In fact, the title of the title is "freedom or death; glory or death", which is the same as Hugo's band. Death complement each other, from this we can also see the tone of the entire review.
"'Trumen's World' is a cruel contest between human nature and society.
Peeping is the catharsis of the evil and dirty thoughts in the human heart. It originates from the darkness, but it appears in every corner of our life with fairness, because everyone has this kind of psychology that is close to abnormality hidden deep in their hearts. This is how gossip and paparazzi were born, and this was the case for the first real "reality show" that appeared in 1994.
It is because of the dark peeping inside human beings. Desire, we are like those viewers in "Trumen's World", who are eagerly eager to peek at every move in Trumen's life. Those five thousand hidden shots are the eyes we dream of in real life. So, in order to satisfy human desires. Hope, for the continuous benefit, someone came up with such a brilliant idea: adopt and confine a newborn baby, then build a perfect world for him, and let people all over the world spy on his life together. Except for him, everything is fake, just actors.
For the audience, this is a TV show; but for this baby, he lives in a lie.
Truman Burbank has become the carrier of greed, greed, fear, and darkness in the entire society, bearing all the dark sides on this person in an upright manner. But hide in stealing. peep. want. Behind the hope, people ignore a very important thing: compared to stealing. In a glimpse, the true essential desires of human beings. Hope is self. It can be said to be selfish or self-reliant, but in the final analysis, it is to establish an independent self, get rid of all shackles, get rid of all control, and live out the self bravely. When all the dark sides become the shackles that bind the wings, human nature will explode, strive to break free from all the shackles, and rediscover ourselves.
We call it freedom.
Truman dreamed of adventure since he was a child, hoping to explore the world that Magellan had not yet been able to explore. The show producer used the teacher's blow and the barking of the evil dog to stifle this dream in the cradle, but obviously this was not enough, so The program team caused Trumen's father to suffer a shipwreck, and even allowed Trumen to witness all of this happening with his own eyes. Such a cruel method was very effective, and Trumen was completely afraid of the sea.
The program production team used this method and God's way to control Truman's thoughts. They thought that this would suppress human nature and allow Truman to spend his life on the paradise island with peace of mind. They control every detail of Truman’s world. With the exception of Truman, everyone in his life is an actor, from the tramp on the street to the owner of the newsstand, from the neighbor next door to the company’s colleagues, from his family. From his wife to his best friends, from his family relationship to friendship to love, even sunrise and sunset, rain and snow are all under control.
More than 5,000 cameras monitor Truman’s life from all aspects, allowing all audiences around the world to see every bit of Truman’s life. It also allows the program crew to control Truman’s world from every corner, but only by difference. A camera-the camera in Truman's brain, this is also a field that humans cannot reach, and it is also a field that God cannot control.
This is precisely the only loophole in "Trumen's World".
Truman is a person, a living person, a soul with independent thinking ability. Even if there were no accidents, Truman could feel those emotional differences in his heart. It all started with love.
Behind the seemingly perfect and happy married life, there is always a lingering void. His wife is like an exquisite Barbie doll without any vitality. He longs for his wife’s response, but always faces the empty valley. Shouted, so Truman began to seek refuge in his inner emotions. Perhaps the first love of ‘Lauren’ was just a symbol. After many years, he had forgotten the true meaning of that relationship, but this symbol was the only true warmth that Truman had ever touched in his heart. Just as Fiji is to Truman and Lauren is to Truman, that is just a dream in life, a vague but real dream.
Truman was struggling to find the answer, but he couldn't get rid of the mist in front of him. He staggered forward, but he was still unwilling to give up. The program crew tried to play God, controlling Trumen's life, controlling Trumen's emotions, and controlling Trumen's thoughts, but they forgot that even God cannot control human emotions and thoughts.
The cracks in the virtual world began to grow, the alienation of love, the deception of family affection, the betrayal of friendship... Truman's devastated heart has become empty. At this time, Truman truly realized his inner desire: This is a false world, a world full of lies. Although he doesn't know what happened, he knows that everything around him is false. And the perfect life stacked on these countless falsehoods is also meaningless, just like a castle in the sky, becoming a mirage in the desert.
Even his own existence is false.
Only by breaking free of this **** can he embrace freedom and find his true self. So Truman chose to leave. What's ridiculous is that the program group once again played the role of God: squally rain, turbulent tsunamis, wave after wave to stop Truman. But the Truman who had overcome his fear of the sea, and his desire for freedom surpassed everything. He would rather die than return to the ‘Trumen’s world,’ which was someone else’s world, not his.
The whole world knows that this is a reality show, but no one except a woman wants to tell him the truth. As the show crew said, the world is sick. But we would rather live in a sick world than be a doll in this sick world: there is no sex, no personality, no dignity, and no freedom. Even if this is a perfect life, even if it is a paradise, but after losing oneself, it is just a walking dead without a soul.
If you refuse to put your own destiny in the hands of others and let yourself decide the direction of your destiny, then everyone can become the director of their own life, not an actor in other people’s world-because in other people’s world, we cannot Own anything real, let alone own things that belong to you, including family affection, friendship and love.
In the end, Truman broke free, resolutely walked towards the dark exit, faced the unpredictable future, and embraced the freedom that truly belonged to him for the first time in 30 years of his life.
Your own life, your own thoughts, your own ideals, your own freedom are more important than anything because you can only control your own soul, here, there is nothing strange People can control. When you have freedom, the world can be infinitely large, and you can write your own script with sufficient freedom, so that the life of the director can be flesh and blood, and freedom can inject soul into life and make life have different colors.
For the sake of freedom, even if you sacrifice your life, you will not hesitate. Because this is human nature, if freedom is lost, life also loses the meaning of existence.
This has always been the eternal theme of human life, from Martin Luther King to Betty Friedan (Betty Friedan), from slave society to capitalism, from'flying over the lunatic asylum' to'Shawshank's salvation'... In the contest between human nature and cruel society, the winner is always the desire for freedom.
If someone tries to play the role of God, use powerful means to control the lives of others, use their own outlook on life and world values to force others to obey their orders, and use the so-called destiny to stifle human nature... Then this is truly pathetic. .
Hidden behind this sadness is to use this ‘right’ to satisfy human selfishness. Desire, the spirit of entertaining to death is brought to the extreme. This is the beginning of social degeneration, which will be the starting point for the decay, decay, and collapse of the entire society. The disintegration of the world is happening right in front of my eyes! "
