The Truman Show The Truman Show is a 1998 American satirical comedy-drama film directed by Peter Weir. The main character is played by Jim Carrey, an unwanted baby raised by a corporation inside a 24-hour-a-day TV series, which is broadcast across the world. He is completely unaware that his entire life is fake. He lives in a small town called Seahaven, Florida, but in reality it is created into a giant dome in Hollywood, where thousands of cameras are installed. Also all the residents of Seahaven are actors, all aspects of Truman’s life are controlled by Christof, the creator of the show, and his troupe, who also develops in Truman a Aquaphobia in order to discourage him from travelling beyond Seahaven. During his college years Truman fell in love with Sylvia, even though he is set to fall in love with his co-student Meryl and marry her. Sylvia finds a moment to bring Truman out of the sight of the cameras and try to explain him the truth about his life, but suddenly Christof disclosures her and takes her off the show, with her father claiming they are travelling to Fiji. Truman continues fantasizing about Sylvia and seeks travel to Fiji. At a certain point Truman starts noticing some strange occurences that make him suspicious, for example a falling spotlight from the sky, and rain that falls only on him. One day, he takes Meryl by surprise by going on a road trip, but their way is blocked by emergency created by Christof. Truman, depressed and confused, is consoled by Marlon. In order to improve the emotional situation of Truman, Christoph reintroduce the father of Truman, who was supposed to be death on a flood. Truman is not persuaded by this revelation, so decides to face his fear and sails out of Seahaven. Christof sends a man-made lightning storm to try to capsize the boat. Truman continues to sail until his boat punctures the wall of the dome, and finds an exit door. Christof, tries to convince him to stay by stating that there is "no more truth" out in the real world and that by staying in his artificial world, he would have nothing to fear. Truman considers this, then states: "In case I don't see you... good afternoon, good evening, and good night,", takes a bow, and leaves. Sylvia races to go meet Truman while audiences celebrate.
