Truman or True Man

Have you seen the movie Truman Show? It’s about a man whose life was caught on camera and shown on T.V. for the world to see. At first Truman didn’t know that he was being watched. He didn’t know that all the people he knew including those he loved – his wife, mother, best friend – were mere actors and just playing a role the director was dictating. In that show, Truman was the only true man.

In the end, Truman learns the truth. His creator, the director, gives him a choice: he could stay in that world where no harm can happen to him, or he could go out in the real world, a world of uncertainty and possible danger.
