2003. Chapter 2003 2003 Hand of God

As the story unfolds, Truman's life unfolds in front of the audience little by little.

Truman wants to go out for a walk, he wants to leave the comfortable and boring life on Paradise Island, he wants to go out to the outside world to see, but he has always been stuck in the shadow of his childhood. When he was a child, his father took him to sail with him, but when he encountered a storm, his father died in the waves, and Truman was rescued by luck, but this became a shadow for his life, and he did not dare to approach the sea - and the paradise island was surrounded by the sea, and he did not dare to take a plane - because of the fear of accidents, which made Truman never dare to challenge.

Now, Truman's dream is starting to stir again, but his friend Malone and his wife Meryl have poured cold water on his dream, thinking that he is too unrealistic, which makes Truman quite frustrated.

The next day, Truman went to work normally and continued his daily fixed route, but on the way he met a homeless man, which made Truman directly stunned, looked back carefully, and found that this was actually his father who had passed away for many years, which made Truman's brain crash directly and fell into complete shock.

But before Truman could react, someone rushed to his father and took him away directly, when Truman wanted to catch up, he was constantly blocked by pedestrians, even though he sprinted forward with all his might, but he still watched his father being taken to a bus, he banged on the door of the bus frantically, trying to keep up with the pace of the bus, "Stop, stop", his hoarse shout did not bring any effect, and finally a taxi rushed out, blocking Truman's pace, and could only watch the bus go away.

Truman was left where he was, dazed, like a lost child, pacing back and forth, walking to the left and then to the right, only to find that he had no idea where he was going.

Tom Cruise became curious about the film's next steps, because he knew exactly how many unexpected things would happen to a 24-hour TV show, as if it were live. There have been many accidents in Truman's life, and now Truman's father has reappeared.

Tom knew that the program team would definitely find a suitable reason to cover up the facts, but he was more curious about how Truman would respond? And how should Truman respond? Because Tom can't imagine what it would be like if his life was a complete hoax, controlled by an invisible hand behind the scenes.

Truman went home and questioned his mother, trying to confirm his suspicion that his father was not dead at all, but his mother thought it was just Truman's fantasy, much to Truman's dismay. After returning home, Truman didn't want to talk to Meryl, but hid in the basement to secretly look at the photo of him and his father when he was a child, and his face was full of nostalgia.

When Meryl came to the basement to look for Truman, Truman hurriedly put everything away, not wanting his wife to know, and Meryl didn't care at all, just asked a simple question, and then began to discuss the irrelevant weedwer issue, looking at his wife, who was always maintaining an elegant and perfect image, as if she was a model in a glass cabinet, Truman didn't tell his wife what was on his mind this time.

After Meryl left, Truman sat on the edge of the bed and fell into memory.

He met a girl named Lauren in college, when Meryl boldly and bravely launched a pursuit of Truman, but Truman still fell in love with Lauren at first sight, and he found that there was a strong chemistry between him and Lauren, but Lauren seemed to have scruples and never let go. But in the end, Lauren still agreed to a date with Truman, but at the end of the date, Lauren told Truman an amazing fact:

Lauren's name is actually Sylvia, and she said that Truman's life is all fiction, everything is built around him, everyone around him is acting, and everything is fake.

Truman was completely shocked, even a little overwhelmed, that Lauren - or Sylvia - had been taken away by a man who claimed to be Lauren's father, but Lauren had been denying it. It's not the first time the man said Lauren actually had schizophrenia. Truman didn't want to believe it, but the information brought by Lauren was too large and too messy, and Truman had no way to digest it in the first place, and in the end he could only watch the man take Lauren away.

That was the last time Truman saw Lauren, and he was told that Lauren had gone to the Fiji Islands to recuperate.

"Why don't you follow her to Fiji?" Leonardo couldn't help but mutter, and the audience watching the reality show in the movie asked the same question, and one waitress at the tavern, who was obviously a loyal viewer, gave the answer, "His mother had a serious illness and he couldn't bear to leave." He's kind, maybe too kind. ”

"I can't believe that Lauren married Meryl shortly after he left." Another new audience member shook his head and sighed, and the barkeeper complained to the waitress, "We already have a tape of that episode." It meant that they should stop watching again and hurry up and get to work, but unexpectedly, the new viewer asked in a low voice, "Can you lend it to me?" ”

This caused a chuckle from the movie theater scene.

Sitting at the table in the basement, Truman pulled out a collage of various photographs of the eyes that he tore out of fashion magazines every day, trying to piece together what Lauren looked like, but it was not an easy task.

Sylvia, who was sitting in front of the TV, saw the happy smile on Truman's lips and burst into tears.

However, Leonardo's inner anger erupted irrepressibly, and he yelled "grass" viciously, which caused the entire movie theater to stir, which made Leonardo realize his faux pas, and quickly said "sorry" and sat down again.

Hugo gave him a concerned look, and Leonardo shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Leonardo finally understands where his inner discomfort comes from, because the reality show team claims to be God - the God of Truman's world, and they control Truman's life according to their own wishes:

They knew that if there was a real relationship between the actor who played Truman's wife and Truman, the situation would get out of control, just like Lauren, so they took Lauren, kicked Lauren out of the crew, lied to Truman that Lauren had gone to Fiji on the other side of the world, and arranged for Truman's mother to be seriously ill, preventing Truman from leaving, and then arranged for Meryl to marry Truman - Meryl, who didn't love Truman at all.

Thinking back to Meryl's coldness towards Truman, almost every appearance is like a model showing an advertisement, that kind of indifference and alienation completely treats this marriage as a job, and Truman is trapped on paradise island. There is no love, no affection, and no freedom.

No wonder when they heard that Truman secretly inquired about Lauren when he was working in the company, they immediately resorted to a killer trick - to make Truman face his fear of the sea again, just to firmly tie Truman to this small island!

This made Leonardo feel angry, anger that could not be suppressed!

Truman continued to work the next day, but this time he felt more and more abnormal in his life, and even broadcast his every move on the radio, as if someone was watching him. So, Truman began to try to break the routine and see what would happen.

Truman's abnormal behavior made the entire program team chaotic, and even directly saw the crew office behind the elevator of the so-called bank building, and the entire crew was exposed in front of Truman. Although Truman was taken away after leaving to avoid further exposure of the secret, Truman really felt extraordinary.

As more and more anomalies grow in his life, Truman decides to fight back, stalking himself Meryl, trying to figure out if Meryl is really a nurse - more trying to figure out the ubiquitous anomalies in his life, but at the last minute, he is stopped by the hospital security guards. Subsequently, Truman finally decided to take the decisive step: he was going to Fiji! He's leaving Paradise Island!

But it seems that the whole world is against him, and the fastest ticket will be a month away; He then decided to take a bus to Chicago, but the bus broke down and the day's schedule was stopped.

Looking at Truman, who was sitting in a dazed position and stubbornly unwilling to leave, Leonardo inexplicably felt a sense of sadness.

Then, when Truman returned home, he sat in his car, quietly looking at the ordinary street in front of him, and he noticed that there was a group of people in front of his house who had been going around in circles, and every once in a while they would reappear in front of his eyes, as if they had been deliberately arranged, more like his boring life day after day.

Meryl got in the car to dissuade Truman, but Meryl didn't care about Truman's true thoughts at all, she was just whitewashing the peace and dealing with Truman with hypocritical politeness, which made Truman no longer have a way to bear it, he directly locked the car door, saying "Let's leave today", and then Truman stepped on the accelerator directly!

Truman drove the car to leave Paradise Island, but found that as if it had been arranged, the streets of the island were completely congested, and it was impossible to move even a penny. Leonardo involuntarily began to get nervous, and the adrenaline made his mouth dry, as if he was sitting in Truman's car at this time, hoping that Truman would actually drive away from this cage-like island.

Suddenly, Truman decided to give up, seemingly persuaded by Meryl, and also consumed by the traffic jam in front of him, he decided to go home, which made Meryl breathe a sigh of relief, but the moviegoers let out a soft sigh of disappointment. Truman drove the car back to the roundabout and began to circle around the roundabout, which scared Meryl, "Why don't you turn a corner?" ”

Truman's eyes widened, and he said feverishly, "I changed my mind again!" It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans right now, wow! Truman laughed as if he had fallen into madness, and then drove the car around the island quickly, looking at Meryl's stunned expression, Truman was like a clown who had succeeded, and directly stepped on the accelerator and walked on the road out of the island again.

"Look! Meryl, the same road, but not a single car! Like magic! ”
