The Truman Show

Recently we watched the Truman show at youth club.  The Truman show is a film about a man named Truman Burbank, his life seems completely normal, but little does he know that his whole life is a reality TV show, his every move broadcasted on live TV to the whole world. The film raised some very interesting questions and opinions. Here are a few:

     The director of the reality TV show was playing God.

     How could he be so cruel?

     How much control do we have over our own lives?

     Why did Truman not notice that whenever he tried to leave the town something got in the way?

     How far can you ever trust anyone?

     No one stopped to think about how Truman might feel about it.

     The director was so mean he was prepared to let Truman die for the sake of a TV series.
