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
CHRISTOF
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:《楚門(mén)的世界》英語(yǔ)讀后感
,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.

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)
5.The Longman Advanced American Dictionary defines it as “reaction or activities that help you forget about bad or boring things for a short time”.The Advanced Oxford Dictionary defines it as “an activity, a form of entertainment that helps you avoid or forget unpleasant things.” Bibliography:(1).English movie “the Truman Show” at http://004km.cn/(3).The Meaning of The Truman Show,at: http://004km.cn(4).The script of The Truman Show at http://group.mtime.com/(5).Busch, Anita M, “New Truman villain: Harris”, Variety.(6).Turna, Kenneth “The Truman Show”, Los Angeles Times 《楚門(mén)的世界》,作為一個(gè)典型的里程碑電影產(chǎn)業(yè),把其他傳統(tǒng)文體的陰影被intercutting程序之間的實(shí)時(shí)紀(jì)錄片杜魯門(mén)和“現(xiàn)實(shí)生活”的觀眾和導(dǎo)演。首先,這部電影主要集中在杜魯門(mén)伯班克的的視角。主人公,他的一生是一個(gè)非常受歡迎24-hour-a-day里播放的電視連續(xù)劇,逐漸意識(shí)到他的存在被隱蔽的攝像機(jī)和盡力擺脫權(quán)威統(tǒng)治。其次,電影或者intercuts球道視角的觀眾,他們保持警惕是基于杜魯門(mén)的每一個(gè)特殊的姿勢(shì)和行為脫離察覺(jué)到日常生活的一些讓人不愉快的方面。第三,電影導(dǎo)演的轉(zhuǎn)移現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的視角。結(jié)果表明,他的動(dòng)機(jī)創(chuàng)造歡快的社區(qū)的Seahaven(一種物質(zhì)化“天堂”)是逃避的虛偽和outside2紛繁的世界。總之,無(wú)論電影的視角出發(fā),它給的化身,逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)的方式。
至于Escapism3,它是一種精神分流或傾向于尋求分散注意力和緩解平庸的現(xiàn)實(shí)Post-Modernism4的時(shí)代。雖然不同的參考書(shū)提供不同illustrations5,幾個(gè)特性背書(shū)。首先,作品被視為一個(gè)內(nèi)在表達(dá)的后現(xiàn)代主義,城市化、工業(yè)化和技術(shù)的存在已經(jīng)清除了生物學(xué)上的百姓從他們的正常的性質(zhì)和嚴(yán)格的日常生活。另一方面,它是單方面的斷言的作品帶有極端和消極的內(nèi)涵,說(shuō)明人是逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)者是墮落或悲傷。事實(shí)上,逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)也顯示樂(lè)觀積極的意義和一個(gè)人是逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)者不愿意/不能與國(guó)際接軌意味深長(zhǎng)。
與這部電影,三種逃避現(xiàn)實(shí),即杜魯門(mén)的積極的逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)、導(dǎo)演和觀眾的極端的消極逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)的逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)已經(jīng)滲透到人類(lèi)的生活。原因、表現(xiàn)和影響,將進(jìn)行了較詳細(xì)的分析。從杜魯門(mén)的視角,被賦予了作品的性質(zhì)做了一個(gè)積極性和獲得自由很受歡迎。首先,他的作品源于他的意識(shí)被控制和生命的陰謀。正如我們所知道的,他已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大了,住在一個(gè)假的城鎮(zhèn)與演員相處。這個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)封閉在一個(gè)巨大的圓頂和高科技的模擬太陽(yáng)與天空,風(fēng)吹雨打都生產(chǎn)特殊效果。起初,他什么也不知道,其余的人看著他在24-hour-a-day真人節(jié)目。幸運(yùn)的是,他慢慢地指出他的周?chē)錆M上演的場(chǎng)景和事件。因此,他有意避開(kāi)付諸實(shí)踐作為一個(gè)足夠的活力和動(dòng)力轉(zhuǎn)換綁在一起的情況,得到了最珍貴的自由。首先,他的作品提供了充足的積極動(dòng)力逃離假并保持真實(shí)的生活在他的臂彎。這是他的積極意義的作品,使他碰到兩個(gè)他自己恐懼的水和障礙放在他的方式producer-director已經(jīng)出了數(shù)十億的陷阱在舞臺(tái)上扮演一個(gè)神,在他的生活中。
從董事的視角,創(chuàng)造者的極端的作品已經(jīng)埋葬了人類(lèi)和良心,種子在他的崩潰在本質(zhì)上。起初,他的作品來(lái)自于他的絕望走向現(xiàn)代社會(huì)墮落。今天的富裕的社會(huì)里是在危險(xiǎn)成為腐朽不堪,虛偽的環(huán)境的沖擊下城市化、工業(yè)化和技術(shù)的存在等。在這部電影中,展示了他對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)創(chuàng)造絕望幾次。因此,他的作品投入效應(yīng)是一個(gè)通道拒絕和隔離從實(shí)際出發(fā),我們可以說(shuō),他選擇了一個(gè)極端的方式來(lái)創(chuàng)建模擬和故事栩栩如生的線路高科技傳真一個(gè)陽(yáng)光,仁慈地梁下的模 擬杜魯門(mén)真誠(chéng)的演員錯(cuò)誤地認(rèn)為是他杜魯門(mén)的家人及朋友在一起。凡他所做的作品體現(xiàn)了異常以及反常的現(xiàn)實(shí)??偠灾?創(chuàng)造者的極端的作品導(dǎo)致畸形的人格和最后的崩潰。從觀眾的角度看,它是消極逃避現(xiàn)實(shí),引起了他們的瘋狂行為被上癮在偷看杜魯門(mén)的生活immorally。首先,觀眾們消極逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)的欲望衍生物從他們所得到的不愉快的痛苦悲觀。當(dāng)我們能夠觀察到,但球迷們可以活的很正常的生活——有一個(gè)孩子,關(guān)系和正式工作,他們把錢(qián)花在固定的時(shí)間散失到一種理想化世界卻失去自己的心靈虛構(gòu)的顯示。作為杜魯門(mén)的命運(yùn)時(shí)起時(shí)落,觀眾的情緒波動(dòng)激烈。他們致力于足以把自己系列和對(duì)待自己是演員。因此,觀眾得到過(guò)分所涉及的球迷楚門(mén)的世界》是追求一種不健康的水平的作品。消極逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)偽裝成一個(gè)更好的麻醉相比探索這個(gè)世界的堅(jiān)硬的真理。作為一個(gè)結(jié)果,消極逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)導(dǎo)致心理疾病的癥狀如依賴媒體和偷看。
總之,在分析其brilliantly-conceived諷刺,我們就可以很容易地得出這樣的結(jié)論:intercutting投的程序之間杜魯門(mén)和“現(xiàn)實(shí)生活”的導(dǎo)演和觀眾的作品充分展示了具有全局潛入人的生命。杜魯門(mén)確證的作品可以扮演一個(gè)積極有效的作用完成的夢(mèng)想。導(dǎo)演的作品使他逃避荒誕極。適當(dāng)?shù)挠^眾們的作品使人拒絕從事真正的世界負(fù)。
第四篇:楚門(mén)世界觀后感
從《楚門(mén)的世界》看媒介操縱
從報(bào)紙的誕生、電子媒介的產(chǎn)生到新媒體時(shí)代的到來(lái),隨著傳播手段和傳播技術(shù)的不斷發(fā)展,我們的生活由信息閉塞的狀態(tài)不斷地向信息充裕變化,從而不斷地開(kāi)闊了我們的視野面,但是與此同時(shí)我們不得不面對(duì)著一個(gè)殘酷的事實(shí),那就是在高速進(jìn)步的新電子媒介發(fā)展之前,我們?cè)絹?lái)越難以使我們的個(gè)人隱私得到保障。使得我們不僅對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的世界產(chǎn)生疑惑:技術(shù)的進(jìn)步和物質(zhì)的不斷充裕,究竟是讓我們?cè)絹?lái)越感到自主還是越來(lái)越被束縛?究竟是使得這個(gè)世界更加明白清晰地呈現(xiàn)在自己面前還是對(duì)于現(xiàn)實(shí)世界感到更加的虛妄,越來(lái)越遠(yuǎn)離了真實(shí)的人生?
楚門(mén)的世界似乎正好的提出了這個(gè)困擾了我們?cè)S久的問(wèn)題。這部電影以一個(gè)獨(dú)特卻近乎殘忍的方式,給了我們些許關(guān)于真實(shí)世界的想法。
當(dāng)一個(gè)人,從出生到長(zhǎng)大,都被放置于暗藏的攝影鏡頭下的時(shí)候,甚至連初吻都成為萬(wàn)眾茶余飯后談?wù)摰膶?duì)象的時(shí)候,我們會(huì)不會(huì)覺(jué)得這個(gè)世界太瘋狂了?楚門(mén)的世界里似乎只有一個(gè)人是真實(shí)的,那就是楚門(mén)自己。每天早上,和鄰居固定的早上,中午,晚上一起的問(wèn)候,遇到那只斑點(diǎn)狗,毫無(wú)懸念的被撲了上來(lái),走過(guò)旋轉(zhuǎn)玻璃門(mén)去保險(xiǎn)公司上班,然后買(mǎi)報(bào)紙,回家有太太,和偶爾過(guò)來(lái)串門(mén)的媽媽,似乎生活就是那么的真實(shí),那么的像一個(gè)正常的人一樣。然而隱藏在這真實(shí)的背后的卻是為了滿足千萬(wàn)雙眼睛而編造的虛妄,正如卞之琳的那首詩(shī)一樣。我站在橋上看風(fēng)景,看風(fēng)景的人在橋上看我。
很顯然,楚門(mén)的遭遇并不只是他一個(gè)人生活的反應(yīng),他是在整個(gè)人類(lèi)社會(huì)進(jìn)入物質(zhì)與信息爆炸性增長(zhǎng)的時(shí)代之后,人類(lèi)文明在發(fā)展到一定的程度之后對(duì)于現(xiàn)實(shí)與未來(lái)的反思,以及對(duì)當(dāng)前世界的憂慮而產(chǎn)生的普遍現(xiàn)象。
楚門(mén)的世界對(duì)于楚門(mén)而言,在整個(gè)海景鎮(zhèn)中,似乎只有楚門(mén)一個(gè)人是真實(shí)的,又似乎只有楚門(mén)一個(gè)人是虛假的。楚門(mén)的世界在我眼里對(duì)于多數(shù)的看客而言卻也是他們心中所習(xí)以為然的真實(shí)的。他們的生活態(tài)度與生活的情趣都融入了楚門(mén)的世界與他的生活的點(diǎn)滴化為了一體。他們一起在經(jīng)歷著人生的成長(zhǎng)的歷程,離開(kāi)了楚門(mén),他們的生活就會(huì)像是那個(gè)在鏡頭中一直出現(xiàn)在浴缸里的男人一樣,是虛無(wú)的,是無(wú)以為繼的,離開(kāi)了楚門(mén),他們的生活便會(huì)沒(méi)有了方向,世界也將會(huì)陷入一片的混沌,從而失去了它存在的意義,不是這樣嗎?當(dāng)我們陷入了一個(gè)被媒介所控制和制造的自以為是真實(shí)的世界里的時(shí)候,我們便也會(huì)在一定的程度上失去自我,離原本的真相便會(huì)越走越遠(yuǎn)。直到真的找不回自己。這是社會(huì)的虛無(wú)感,和我們現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中人們的自我價(jià)值感逐漸缺失的一種表現(xiàn)不是嗎?
新媒介的時(shí)代的到來(lái),一方面我們?cè)摓榇硕械揭环N沾沾自喜,因?yàn)槲覀兛梢杂X(jué)得自己漸漸的可以看見(jiàn)整個(gè)地球而不要跑遍世界,但另一方面我們卻在短暫的欣喜之后迅速的發(fā)現(xiàn)自己貌似被坑了的感覺(jué)。新媒介時(shí)代使我們發(fā)現(xiàn)我們都難以逃脫楚門(mén)的悲慘命運(yùn)。在大批的充斥視野的真人秀節(jié)目中我們不正好可以看見(jiàn)生活中而不再是屏幕里的楚門(mén)嗎?
