The Truman Show
This is the full transcript of The Truman Show.It in no way intends to
infringe upon the rights of the writers, exhibitors，etc., of the movie.The Lunar Room

We've become bored with watching actors
give us phony emotions.We're tired of
pyrotechnics and special effects.While
the world he inhabits is in some
respects counterfeit, there's nothing
fake about Truman himself.No
scripts, no cue cards...It isn't always
Shakespeare but it's genuine.It's a
life.Truman's Bathroom

第二篇：《楚门的世界》英语读后感
，After watching 《The Truman Show》 what impressed me most is
the ugly behaviors in the process of commercialization of massmedia which is self seeking and trample human rights.WhenTruman is only a fetus ,the Reality show has already began.Daily life exposure in the perspective of the people, so do not we ?Theyjust do not put the camera before us.The let us can’t help asking ourselves :”Maybe everyone around me is in a play” “Is my life also in surveillance ,I have lacked of the privacy”
Some people said life is like a play except that there is no dress
rehearsal, Perhaps this is my another inspiration for the film.Human living in the world need to play manymanyroles., Each role
requires different content.Only facing the play ,can human take their own and improve ourselves in the struggle.At the end，Truman finally get out of the door with “exit”, get out
of the world which do not belong to him , get into hisreal world.At the end of the film, the words ofTruman, In case i don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night.", givedeep impression on us.which is best representation of who is Truman。Through such a tear-jerking way , Truman ends his thirty-years acting career ,with optimism, persistence and confidence.At that moment，his audience in the filmcheered for the Truman, and the audience out of the film also did，whenhuman nature is shining。Christof: I have given Truman the chance to lead a normal life.The world, the place you live in, is the sick place.As long as we insist on our principle and fight for our target, the society will become normal in you eyes.
第三篇：楚门的世界_英语影评
On Infiltration of Escapism
----A Brief Comment on The Truman Show
Abstract: The Truman Show1 deserves spectacular appreciation for its unique approach—intercutting shots between program of Truman and “real life” footage of the director and spectators.The specialty of presentation sufficiently lays out Escapism in Post-Modernism layer by layer.Followed a brief introduction about the intercutting approach in this movies and Escapism, this paper concentrates on the cause, manifestation and influence of Escapism from the shifting angles of view: Truman, director and spectators.Then it draws a summarization that Escapism has overall infiltrated into human’s life.Key words: The Truman Show, Escapism, shifting angles of view, intercutting, Post-Modernism
The Truman Show, as a typical milestone of the movie industry, puts other traditional genres in the shadow by intercutting the real-time documentary between program of Truman and “real life” of the spectators and director.Firstly, the movie chiefly centralizes on the Truman Burbank’s angle of view.The protagonist, whose entire life is broadcasted in a hugely popular 24-hour-a-day TV series, is gradually aware that his existence is captured by concealed cameras and tries his best to get away from the authoritative domination.Secondly, the movie alternately intercuts the shot to the angle of view of spectators, who are keeping a watchful eye on Truman’s every particular gesture and behavior for escaping from the perceived unpleasant aspects of daily life.Thirdly, the movie shifts the scene to director’s angle of view.It reveals that his motivation of creating the cheerful community of Seahaven(a materialization of “paradise”)is to run away from the hypocrisy and complexity of the world outside2.In short, whatever angle of view the movie sets out, it gives embodiment of Escapism all the time and all the way.As for Escapism3, it is a mental diversion or tendency to seek distraction and relief from banal reality in the era of Post-Modernism4.Although different reference books provide different illustrations5, several characteristics are endorsed.For one thing, Escapism is regarded as an inherent expression of Post-Modernism, for urbanization, industrialization and technological existences have removed people from their biologically normal natures and the rigors of daily life.For another thing, it is unilateral to assert that escapism carries an extreme and negative connotation, suggesting escapists are depraved or sorrowful.In fact, escapism also indicates optimistic significance for positive escapists with an inability or unwillingness to connect with the world meaningfully.Related with this movie, three kinds of Escapism, namely, Truman’s positive Escapism, director’s extreme Escapism and spectators’ negative Escapism have been infiltrating into human’s life.The cause, manifestation and influence of will be analyzed in detail.From Truman’s angle of view, Escapism is endowed with the property of positiveness and has done a great favor to obtain freedom.First of all, his Escapism originates from his consciousness of being controlled and the conspiracies of life.As we know, he has grown up and lived in a fake town getting along with actors.The town is enclosed in a giant dome with high-tech simulations of sun and sky, in which the rain and wind are productions of the special effects.In the beginning, he knows nothing that the rest of humanity watches him in a 24-hour-a-day reality programming.Fortunately, he gradually figures out that his surroundings are full of staged scenes and events.Hence, His intention to escape is put into practice as an adequate dynamic and driving force to convert the bound situation and obtain the precious freedom.Above all, his positive Escapism provides the ample motivation to flee the fake and hold the authentic life in his arms.It is his positive Escapism that makes him come up against both his own fears of water and the obstacles put in his way by the producer-director who has made billions of traps in a stage set and playing a God role in his life.From director’s angle of view, Christof’s extreme Escapism has buried his humanity and conscience, which seed in his collapse in essence.In the beginning, his Escapism stems from his despair towards degenerate modern society.today's affluent societies are in danger of becoming rotten and hypocritical environments under the impact of urbanization, industrialization and technological existences etc.In the movie, Christof shows his hopelessness towards reality several times.Therefore, his Escapism is put into effect as a passageway to reject and isolate from the reality, As we can say, he chooses an extreme way to create the lifelike simulations and story lines from the high-tech facsimile of a sun that benevolently beams down on Truman to the mock sincerity of the actors who Truman mistakenly believes is his family and friend.All that he has done embodies his abnormal and freak Escapism from reality.In sum up, Christof’s extreme Escapism leads to his deformity of personality and final breakdown.From spectators’ angle of view, it is the negative Escapism that gives rise to their crazed behavior of being addictive in peeping Truman’s life immorally.Firstly, spectators’ negative Escapism derivates from their desires of getting out of the unpleasant sufferings pessimistically.As we can observe, although the fans may live very normal lives— having children, relationships and regular jobs, they spend their regular time escaping into an idealized world and lose their own mind in the made-up show.As Truman’s fate rises and falls, the spectators’ emotion fluctuates fiercely.They are devoted enough to throw themselves into the series and treat themselves as actors.Consequently, spectators who get excessively involved as fans of Truman show are pursuing an unhealthy level of escapism.The negative Escapism masquerades as a better anesthesia than exploring the hard truths of this world.As a result, negative Escapism leads to symptoms of mental illness such as dependence on media and peeping.In brief, after analyzing the brilliantly-conceived satire, we can easily draw the conclusion that the intercutting shots between program of Truman and “real life” of the director and spectators fully demonstrates Escapism has overall infiltrated into human’s life.Truman certifies positive Escapism can play a effective role in fulfilling dream.Director’s Escapism makes him run away from the absurdity extremely.proper Spectators’ Escapism leads them to turn down to engage in the true world negatively.Notes:
1.The Truman Show is a 1998 American comedy-drama film directed by Peter Weir and written by Andrew Niccol.The film chronicles the life and evading of Truman Burbank, who discovers he is constrained in a reality-feigned soap opera, televising to billions by live transmission.2.As evidence, here are two quotations of Christof’s lines.The one say, “I have given Truman a chance to live a normal life.The world.the place you live in is the sick place.Seahaven is the way the world should be.” The other says, “There's no more truth out there than there is in the world I created for you.Same lies.The same deceit.But in my world, you have nothing to fear.3.This definition is cited from the Concise Oxford English Dictionary.4.Post-Modernism is a style and concept in the art, architecture and criticism dating from the late 20th century, which represents a departure from modernism and has at its heart a general distrust of grand theories and ideologies as well as o problematical relationship with any notion of art.(cited from the Oxford English Reference Dictionary)

至于Escapism3,它是一种精神分流或倾向于寻求分散注意力和缓解平庸的现实Post-Modernism4的时代。虽然不同的参考书提供不同illustrations5,几个特性背书。首先,作品被视为一个内在表达的后现代主义,城市化、工业化和技术的存在已经清除了生物学上的百姓从他们的正常的性质和严格的日常生活。另一方面,它是单方面的断言的作品带有极端和消极的内涵,说明人是逃避现实者是堕落或悲伤。事实上,逃避现实也显示乐观积极的意义和一个人是逃避现实者不愿意/不能与国际接轨意味深长。
与这部电影,三种逃避现实,即杜鲁门的积极的逃避现实、导演和观众的极端的消极逃避现实的逃避现实已经渗透到人类的生活。原因、表现和影响,将进行了较详细的分析。从杜鲁门的视角,被赋予了作品的性质做了一个积极性和获得自由很受欢迎。首先,他的作品源于他的意识被控制和生命的阴谋。正如我们所知道的,他已经长大了,住在一个假的城镇与演员相处。这个小镇封闭在一个巨大的圆顶和高科技的模拟太阳与天空,风吹雨打都生产特殊效果。起初,他什么也不知道,其余的人看着他在24-hour-a-day真人节目。幸运的是,他慢慢地指出他的周围充满上演的场景和事件。因此,他有意避开付诸实践作为一个足够的活力和动力转换绑在一起的情况,得到了最珍贵的自由。首先,他的作品提供了充足的积极动力逃离假并保持真实的生活在他的臂弯。这是他的积极意义的作品,使他碰到两个他自己恐惧的水和障碍放在他的方式producer-director已经出了数十亿的陷阱在舞台上扮演一个神,在他的生活中。
从董事的视角,创造者的极端的作品已经埋葬了人类和良心,种子在他的崩溃在本质上。起初,他的作品来自于他的绝望走向现代社会堕落。今天的富裕的社会里是在危险成为腐朽不堪,虚伪的环境的冲击下城市化、工业化和技术的存在等。在这部电影中,展示了他对现实创造绝望几次。因此,他的作品投入效应是一个通道拒绝和隔离从实际出发,我们可以说,他选择了一个极端的方式来创建模拟和故事栩栩如生的线路高科技传真一个阳光,仁慈地梁下的模 拟杜鲁门真诚的演员错误地认为是他杜鲁门的家人及朋友在一起。凡他所做的作品体现了异常以及反常的现实。总而言之,创造者的极端的作品导致畸形的人格和最后的崩溃。从观众的角度看,它是消极逃避现实,引起了他们的疯狂行为被上瘾在偷看杜鲁门的生活immorally。首先,观众们消极逃避现实的欲望衍生物从他们所得到的不愉快的痛苦悲观。当我们能够观察到,但球迷们可以活的很正常的生活——有一个孩子,关系和正式工作,他们把钱花在固定的时间散失到一种理想化世界却失去自己的心灵虚构的显示。作为杜鲁门的命运时起时落,观众的情绪波动激烈。他们致力于足以把自己系列和对待自己是演员。因此,观众得到过分所涉及的球迷楚门的世界》是追求一种不健康的水平的作品。消极逃避现实伪装成一个更好的麻醉相比探索这个世界的坚硬的真理。作为一个结果,消极逃避现实导致心理疾病的症状如依赖媒体和偷看。
总之,在分析其brilliantly-conceived讽刺,我们就可以很容易地得出这样的结论:intercutting投的程序之间杜鲁门和“现实生活”的导演和观众的作品充分展示了具有全局潜入人的生命。杜鲁门确证的作品可以扮演一个积极有效的作用完成的梦想。导演的作品使他逃避荒诞极。适当的观众们的作品使人拒绝从事真正的世界负。
第四篇：楚门世界观后感
从《楚门的世界》看媒介操纵
从报纸的诞生、电子媒介的产生到新媒体时代的到来，随着传播手段和传播技术的不断发展，我们的生活由信息闭塞的状态不断地向信息充裕变化，从而不断地开阔了我们的视野面，但是与此同时我们不得不面对着一个残酷的事实，那就是在高速进步的新电子媒介发展之前，我们越来越难以使我们的个人隐私得到保障。使得我们不仅对现实的世界产生疑惑：技术的进步和物质的不断充裕，究竟是让我们越来越感到自主还是越来越被束缚？究竟是使得这个世界更加明白清晰地呈现在自己面前还是对于现实世界感到更加的虚妄，越来越远离了真实的人生？
楚门的世界似乎正好的提出了这个困扰了我们许久的问题。这部电影以一个独特却近乎残忍的方式，给了我们些许关于真实世界的想法。
当一个人，从出生到长大，都被放置于暗藏的摄影镜头下的时候，甚至连初吻都成为万众茶余饭后谈论的对象的时候，我们会不会觉得这个世界太疯狂了？楚门的世界里似乎只有一个人是真实的，那就是楚门自己。每天早上,和邻居固定的早上，中午，晚上一起的问候，遇到那只斑点狗,毫无悬念的被扑了上来，走过旋转玻璃门去保险公司上班，然后买报纸，回家有太太，和偶尔过来串门的妈妈，似乎生活就是那么的真实，那么的像一个正常的人一样。然而隐藏在这真实的背后的却是为了满足千万双眼睛而编造的虚妄，正如卞之琳的那首诗一样。我站在桥上看风景，看风景的人在桥上看我。
很显然，楚门的遭遇并不只是他一个人生活的反应，他是在整个人类社会进入物质与信息爆炸性增长的时代之后，人类文明在发展到一定的程度之后对于现实与未来的反思，以及对当前世界的忧虑而产生的普遍现象。
楚门的世界对于楚门而言，在整个海景镇中，似乎只有楚门一个人是真实的，又似乎只有楚门一个人是虚假的。楚门的世界在我眼里对于多数的看客而言却也是他们心中所习以为然的真实的。他们的生活态度与生活的情趣都融入了楚门的世界与他的生活的点滴化为了一体。他们一起在经历着人生的成长的历程，离开了楚门，他们的生活就会像是那个在镜头中一直出现在浴缸里的男人一样，是虚无的，是无以为继的，离开了楚门，他们的生活便会没有了方向，世界也将会陷入一片的混沌，从而失去了它存在的意义，不是这样吗？当我们陷入了一个被媒介所控制和制造的自以为是真实的世界里的时候，我们便也会在一定的程度上失去自我，离原本的真相便会越走越远。直到真的找不回自己。这是社会的虚无感，和我们现实生活中人们的自我价值感逐渐缺失的一种表现不是吗？
新媒介的时代的到来，一方面我们该为此而感到一种沾沾自喜，因为我们可以觉得自己渐渐的可以看见整个地球而不要跑遍世界，但另一方面我们却在短暂的欣喜之后迅速的发现自己貌似被坑了的感觉。新媒介时代使我们发现我们都难以逃脱楚门的悲惨命运。在大批的充斥视野的真人秀节目中我们不正好可以看见生活中而不再是屏幕里的楚门吗？
