——
The story of the film takes place in a fictional world called "Taoyuan Island", which is actually a huge studio.
Truman is the protagonist of the popular soap opera "The Truman Show". He has lived on "Peach Blossom Island" for thirty years, but he knows nothing about it.
His occupation is an insurance agent. There is a gentle nurse wife, Mei, and a best friend, Ma Long.
The story begins when a large stage light falls next to Truman.
This incident triggered Truman's first suspicion.
Although the news explained that these were just parts that fell from the plane, what happened next made Truman's doubts continue to deepen.
For example, one day when he was listening to the radio in the car, he suddenly heard the staff making mistakes in communicating on the radio. They were reporting Truman's location in real time.
For example, he met his father who had been dead for many years.
Similar things kept happening, and Truman began to notice abnormalities in his life.
He also found that his wife seemed to often talk into the air when he wasn't paying attention, and that the daily lives of the neighbors seemed to repeat themselves, just like a set program.
When he tried to discuss these doubts with those around him, they always brushed him aside.
In addition, Truman also discovered that in the wedding photos of him and his wife, his wife had a gesture of crossing her index and middle fingers. For Christians, this means praying for God's blessing and hoping to alleviate the sin of lying.
All this made Truman completely doubt whether the world he lived in was real.
He once had a first love girlfriend "Shi Ya". She once tried to tell Truman that "all this is false", but she was soon forcibly taken away by someone arranged by the show crew. Shi Ya's departure became an eternal pain in Truman's heart.
She was the only person who told him the "truth" and became the trigger for his awakening.
In order to escape from this false world that he became more and more suspicious of, Truman tried many times, but failed every time due to various reasons.
Until one day, he decided to escape from the place where he had lived for thirty years at all costs to find his first girlfriend.
At night, he pretended that everything was normal, said goodbye to his wife as usual, then put a dummy on the bed to replace himself, secretly hid in the basement, and successfully got rid of the program team who monitored him all day long.
By the time the show team discovered that he had disappeared, Truman had already faced the sea alone, which he had been afraid of since he was a child (the reason for being afraid of the sea was that the show team designed the plot when his father took him out to sea and then drowned him when he was a child).
Even if the show crew manipulated the storm and tried to make him give up, he remained steadfast and undaunted.
Finally, Truman reached the end of the "sea" - a blue wall and the edge of a huge studio.
At this time, the director of the show "Xu Dandan" told Truman the ins and outs of the matter in the huge control room in the sky and tried to retain him.
But Truman remained unmoved and replied: "You can't put a camera in my head."
And he said the classic line: "In case I never see you again, I wish you good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"
Truman found the exit of the set, which was a small door leading to the real outside world.
