“You don’t have a camera in my head.” The Truman Show depicts several interesting areas of the video production through cam angles, the philosophical meaning, and the concept behind it.
The Truman show uses many interesting camera angles. All of the point of view cameras are very interesting. It makes you feel like you’re one of the actors in the movie. All the different views of what others see give you anew perspective of Seahaven. There are thousands of hidden cameras. One of the most unique ones was the mirror camera. Every morning he would talk to himself to get ready for the day and they got every second of it. The camera behind the dashboard of the car was another cool one. It’s a camera angle i think now one else would ever think of. All over the island there are hidden cameras. There isn’t an inch of the city that isn’t seen. The camera angles this movie uses are some of the best I’ve ever seen.
This movie surprisingly has a deep philosophical meaning behind it. We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented. This statement is very true. For all we know life could be one never ending dream. Or life could be a board game and we are all just pawns. The only things we know are the things around us. There’s no more truth out there than there is in the world I created for you. The same lies, the same deceit. But in my world, you have nothing to fear. Even though everything around Truman is fake there is more fake things is the actual world that we live in. Truman has nothing to fear. Everything in his world is under control. This movie makes you think about life and think about the people around you.
The concept behind this movie is incredible. The concept that from birth everything Truman knows is fake. Everyone, including his parents is actors, which is kind of sad considering he never had a true friend. Everything that happens in his life is decided by christof. For 30 years he had no clue what was going on. All his life he had no clue that everything was fake and controlled. It would be amazing if someone could actually mastermind a show like this.
Camera angles, philosophical meaning and concept and all interesting areas of the Truman show. You can fill a city with cameras, but you can never tell what people have in their memories. Sit and think about what life is really about and if the people around you are genuine. When things are too good to be true things might not be true.
