Section 157 The Vast World

Truman's world movie, since before Levy took over, someone told Levy that this is a work that satirizes the media, and if it is released rashly, it will only offend the media. But in Levy's view, the key to what the film wants to convey lies in how the film is shaped. Whether a movie is mainly satirical or inspirational, the key lies in the way it is filmed. Forrest Gump can successfully turn irony into inspiration, why can't he be?

And in this movie, he also made a lot of modifications. The onlookers in those movies were cut out a lot by him: the sympathy and surprise of the audience, relying on the camera to guide the front of the screen is enough. The director and film crew in the movie were not maliciously scandalized by Levy. They didn't talk about making money, let alone making Truman's bedroom bed scene public for money, which was obviously to satirize the media, and Levy didn't keep it. Under his lens, the identity of the director is the embodiment of fate: for ordinary people, the god of fate manipulates people's fate, and for Truman, the director manipulates his fate. The existence of the director is just for intuitive expression.

In this movie, Truman's personal emotional changes, as well as his transition from compromise to reconnaissance, to seemingly tame, but actually thinking about escape, are magnified by Levy. This part, in Levy's opinion, is the focus of the film.

This is the most inspirational part of the movie, a person for his own dreams, abandoning the existing rich but false life and sailing, and this movie can attract people, the biggest reason is not how explicit it it satirizes the media to manipulate public opinion, but in the early stage of this movie, Truman's powerless sense of struggle, the absurdity of life completely manipulated, and the stark contrast between Truman's sailing away in the later period: people's deep impression of this movie is caused by the contrast between before and after, as long as it is guided, Let the smug faces of those people in the early stage contrast with their panic when Truman left in the later stage, Truman's departure is enough to make people excited!

The irony in the early stage and the inspirational in the later stage, this is the focus of the movie. Levy did not exaggerate the guiding role of the media, but used the director's mouth to equate the manipulation of the media with the manipulation of God, thus causing the audience to think more about it. Compared to being greedy and bitten to satirize the media, Levy wants the audience to think more about themselves. And in this way, when the movie reaches this turning point and Truman sails away, it will naturally arouse more investment from the audience.

In the subject matter of realism, reality is always cruel, and personal pursuit is always idealized. If you pay more attention to social reality in making this kind of film, it is mainly satire. If you pursue more personal effort, it is inspirational. A director should know how to use his own lens, as long as the lens can be used well, naturally there is no need to worry about telling a bad story.

Through the previous shots, lines, and actors, Truman is now the audience's own incarnation. Seeing that he is no longer impressed by life, but is trying to conquer it, people will naturally be extremely excited.

There are too many people who have expectations for their dreams in life, but they don't have the strength to pursue them. When they see someone who dares to chase their dreams, they are of course thrilled by it.

The director was obviously unprepared for Truman's departure: because Truman was afraid of water, he abandoned this aspect of his precautions a long time ago, the photography of the lighthouse was no longer available, and he naturally did not do anything with the sailboat, and the use of this means of transportation exceeded his expectations. Seeing that Truman wanted to escape, he had only one way: to set off a man-made storm and try to prevent Truman from leaving.

If you want to chase your dreams, I can make trouble for you: how many dreams have stopped in the face of setbacks? If a person wants to rebel against fate, how can it be smooth sailing?

The music stirred up, and the little sailboat swayed in the wind and waves, and almost capsized several times. But Truman always held on to the sailboat, and he didn't even think about turning around. He was determined to leave this place, and the wind and waves could not stop him.

"You want to stop me unless you kill me!"

Truman, standing on the sailboat, roared loudly at the sky. He doesn't know who is manipulating his life, but he knows that they want to thwart him from pursuing his dreams. However, in the face of a person's dream, what is such a setback as wind and waves?

What can stop a person from following their dreams but death?

"Stop, it's too dangerous."

The director reluctantly chose to stop the wind and waves: difficulties can hinder a person's many efforts, but they can never stop a person's dreams.

Levy didn't choose to let the director say something like 'it doesn't matter if he killed him', and he wanted director Christopher to appear as a truly uncaring 'God' than to smear the media. Such a role is more helpful to his films.

The storm stopped, and Truman, who was standing on the sailboat again, looked at the sky after the rain and showed a smile with mixed feelings: it turned out that this was their method, and it turned out that the difficulties he faced were far from being as great as he imagined. They can set off a storm, they can let themselves encounter setbacks, as long as they work hard to persevere, as long as they are not discouraged, then they will always have a moment when the clouds open and see the moon, and they can always see the blue sky after the rain.

What really stands in your way is only your own heart, as long as you make up your mind, nothing can stop you.

He sat down on the boat, the boat drifted forward, under the blue sky, a light boat rippling around, under the sea and sky, the only scene was Truman's boat. Such a beautiful scenery is completely a portrayal of Truman's mood after the rain, and it also highlights a very important thing: for people who chase their dreams, it is important to stick to themselves.

And at this time, the boat also came to the end of the studio. The bow of the ship pierced into the blue curtain, and Truman walked over in surprise, he didn't expect that the blue sky and white clouds he saw were all fake. He pounded the curtain hard - it turned out that his life had always been in such a false environment. It also made Truman realize once again how funny his life is.

Luckily, he's already out.

Turning, he walked along the wall, and soon he spotted the staircase that led to the outside world. He walked up the stairs and pushed open the door that said the exit, and at that moment, Christopher's voice rang out again.

"Truman."

His voice, through the thick clouds, was broadcast along with the sun. Behind the clouds, he was like an omnipotent God, watching Truman's life and talking to Truman.

"Who are you?"

"Creator, I created your world."

"And who am I?"

"You are the heart of my world, you are the master of this world."

"So, everything is fake? This whole world, all fake? ”

"No, Truman, nothing is fake. The outside world, the same false as Taoyuan Island, the same full of lies, there will still be many people who lie to you, in my world, at least you don't have to worry about getting hurt, but outside...... Truman, you belong here, the outside world is not worth aspiring to, here, your life is flawless, you like it here. ”

"You didn't have a camera in my head!" Truman looked up.

"You're scared, you're hesitating, you don't know what the outside world is like." Christopher debunked Truman's mind, "You belong here, you should stay here, no one knows you better than me, not yourself." Truman, I have seen your life, I know you best, stay, stay in my world. ”

When all man-made frustrations and sufferings can't stop you from going out, then the last way, which is also the easiest way: all this might as well be directly singled out, what Christopher wants is no longer to hinder Truman with difficulties, but to change Truman's yearning and pursuit of the real world.

The outside world is not necessarily good, and the false world is not necessarily bad. Truman didn't know anything about the outside, and of course he would be scared when he left here - if he was afraid, why didn't he stay?

The most difficult thing for man to defeat is not God, not nature, not the enemy, but himself. After all means have failed, it is easiest to directly convince the other party.

Truman turned around slowly, he raised his head, stared at God who didn't know where in the clouds, and then on his face, a smile appeared, "In case I can't see you tomorrow, I wish you a good morning, noon and night." ”

The smile on the director's face froze, he heard Truman mention this sentence every day, but he never thought that one day, this sentence would become a reality.

Truman is right, he can put a camera anywhere, but he can't put a camera in Truman's head. He can't manipulate other people's thoughts.

It is true that the outside world can be dangerous and sad, but when a person has the courage to question his life and pursue his true love, how can he not have the courage to step towards a wider world?

This greeting used to be a mockery of Truman's life, but now, it has become a mockery of the director. Truman's courage and pursuit completely defeated the director.

Truman turned around and strode out of the studio. His white sweater disappeared into the darkness, and his choice was to leave.

The music is stirring up again, and at this point, the movie is finally over.

And in the cinema, there was also a round of applause: they applauded for Truman's choice, and they also applauded for this movie! rs
