Shining words or sentences:

1. Good morning, and in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

2. Was anything real?

3. No scripts; no cue cards. It isn't always Shakespeare, but it's genuine. It's a life.

4. He was born in front of a live audience.

5. You never had a camera in my head!

Summary:

Truman Burbank, the lead of the movie, was born in front of a live audience. He lived in a world with thousands of cameras. All people can watch his life by TV anytime. Because of a girl and some coincidence, he realized the world he lived in is false and the people live in the city cheat him. He decided to leave the small city. The director tried to prevent Truman, but he had to accept the failure. At last, Truman talked with the director and left the city.

Comment:

Life has no rehearsal, the cameras are always rolling. Before we are born in the world, we must run to win hundreds of millions of sperms. And when we are born, our parents, teachers and a lot of people are told us that we must run and we can't give up.

So we try hard anytime, and we are confronted with so many choices. For successful living, we need to make the best choice. And if we choose wrong, we have no chance to correct it.

In the movie, Truman faced the choice of if he leaves. Although he lived in a false world, his choice resolves his life. Nobody knows that whether his final decision is better for his life. But he chose the life he wants and he likes. So, what I want to say is that although life has no rehearsal, we should choose what we like. If we just live for success, we will lose our interests. I don't know which is better, but life has no rehearsal and to become the best of whatever you are.

第二篇：《楚门的世界》影评

设定之外

——观《楚门的世界》影评 从大屏幕上看到这部影片名字的时候，我以为是一部科幻片，而当它以一种平凡的生活方式开始的时候，我便隐约觉得它将会是一部令人惊叹的作品。 《楚门的世界》又名《真人SHOW》，或《真人世界》、《真人戏》，是由导演得·威尔拍摄的一部美国心理方面的喜剧，98年上映，全长103分钟，曾获七十一届奥斯卡最佳原创剧本提名。

平凡的生活在楚门小时候因他而“死”的“父亲”再次露面的时候打破，原来30年前奥姆尼康电视制作公司收养了一名婴儿，他们刻意培养他使其成为全球最受欢迎的纪实性肥皂剧《楚门的世界》中的主人公，公司为此取得了巨大的成功。然而这一切却只有一人全然不知，他就是该剧的唯一主角——楚门。 整部影片向我们展现了一个平凡的小人物是怎样在自己毫不知情的情况下被制造成闻名电视明星，却完全被剥夺了自由、隐私乃至尊严，成为大众娱乐工业的牺牲品，这就好像是在演绎一则荒诞无稽的人生寓言，我们在同情男主角楚门被强行束缚的生活方式之余，更从内心激发出一种强烈的情感，那就是对惟利是图、践踏人权的社会现象的强烈讽刺。影片集中反映了人类的希望和焦虑，同时也因触及到当今最敏感的社会问题而备受瞩目。楚门在真人秀世界里的“一生”，其实可以说是幸福美满的。也有挫折，也有不幸，但由于剧情的需要，每个挫折和不幸之后都会有满足和幸运在等待着他。从某个程度上来说，真人秀的导演将他带入了某个相对较为纯净的世界。即使这个世界是由谎言组成的。

等到谎言被戳破的那一天，楚门走了，走得毅然决然，走得轻快潇洒。他迈上了通往真实世界的阶梯，他终于要成为一个True man了。我们被设定，多数人根本不自知 好好读书，将来才可以考上好大学，考上好大学才能找到好工作，有了好的前途才会有好的婚姻，只有这样走，才会迎来成功！有钱，有地位，才是成功的人生！

我们从小不是就是这么被教育的么？是不是觉得很自然呢？难道就真的只有这一条路么？当然不是，我们从小就被设定了，在每个人自己的“楚门世界”里。 于是我们妥协了，生活在“楚门的世界”里继续。 我们敢于追寻自己的梦想么？ 被设定了，所有才使一切听起来那么的理所当然。。。 当年的梦想呢？早已在地球另外一面的斐济岛上了

楚门走出来了，因为自己的梦想，因为不想在过这种平静而又安逸的生活，勇敢的令人流泪。走出去的不仅仅是楚门，还有龙套们对追求梦想的寄托，他们看到有人做了自己想做又不敢做的事。

所以酒吧里的人疯狂，老太流泪，洗澡的人癫狂。

但是这种勇气是普通人根本无法具备的！

于是，保安说，还有别的什么节目？看看其他的吧。

完成了对梦想的憧憬，普通人们回归各自的“楚门世界”，继续着平静而又安详的生活。
