The Truman show

The Truman show is a film about a reality TV show. In the reality TV show there is a make believe city that has been built in a dome. In this Dome they have filmed the life of ‘Truman’. Truman was chosen from 5 unwanted pregnancies and doesn’t start to realise that his whole life has been a lie until now. The Truman show was created by Christoph (played by Ed Harris).

In the film they show some of the viewers that watch the Truman show. For example,

But In the show the actor that played Trumans dad broke back into the dome, so Christof added him back into the plot.

In the Film Christof (Ed Harris) says that the best parts to watch of ‘The Truman show’ are the mirror moments. This is when Truman (Jim carry) stands in front of the mirror and has these moments that he thinks only he can see.
