Blog Entry 8 The Truman Show

The perfect world that Christoff created for Truman was not the happily ever after, Truman's life was planned out before him, he knew what was expected of him, how he should react to situations, even his lifestyle. Since birth Truman's whole life was broadcasted as a show on television, every day he awake to the same pattern of life, Seaheaven was the place he lived in, they knew what he would say t to his neighbors, which news stand he would buy his papers and magazine from, claiming the magazing was for his wife, but secretly he was looking for the love of his life, the girlfriend who had a sickness. Truman wanted for a very long time to go to the island, so he could see the girlfriend that was not good enough for television.
I do not agree with Christoff definition of "perfect world", the one which he created for Truman. In the real world, we are not viewed on camera 24/7, we have a normal life, we are allowed to go on vacation unlike Truman, who could not go on vacations, he could not ge a flight for more than a month, when he tries to drive to go on a vacation, he was met with one devastation  after another.
