2002. Chapter 2002 2002 Truman's World
After the appearance of the classic logo of Paramount's snow-capped mountain, there were no subtitles, no movie titles, no starring lists, and a TV screen appeared directly, and a face appeared on the screen, filling the entire screen, and the audience watched what was being played on the small screen through the big screen.
"We're tired of watching the actors' hypocritical performances, we're tired of the fancy visual effects, but in 'Truman's world', it can be said to be fictional, but there is nothing false about Truman himself. No script, no clapperboard, this may not be Shakespeare, but it's a fake. It's a life! ”
The short and clear thirty-second statement kicked off the story of "Truman's World", and the audience was already substituted into the story before they had time to calm down. Then I saw Hugo's enlarged version of his face appear on the small screen in the big screen, which calmed down the noise of the scene.
Truman looked at the camera lens in a daze, there was a pile of cosmetics in front of him, but it could not be regarded as an obstacle, as if there was no gap between him and the audience, and they were talking to each other face-to-face, Truman's eyes were wooden and depressed, and faintly revealed some confusion, "I can't hold on anymore." Truman lowered his voice and said softly, "You can only go by yourself, don't wait for me." The fluttering words were filled with weariness and disappointment, and an indescribable gray came over his face.
The words "live" appeared in the lower right corner of the TV, and then the screen went black and a list of actors appeared, "Truman Burbank plays himself", which caused a small commotion in the movie theater scene. A lot of people don't look at the cast - who doesn't know Hugo on the scene today? But those who look at the cast list will find that the font is not "Hugo Lancaster as Truman Burbank", but "Truman Burbank as himself", what is going on?
Immediately afterwards, Truman's face reappeared on the TV screen, and his eyes slowly released a bright brilliance, "Impossible, sir!" Even if you limp down, you will climb to the top of the world with me! ”
The subtitle appears again, "Directed by Christopher". "Truman's World" is obviously directed by Hugo's mentor Peter Weir, why is there another Christopher? Who is this?
The man who appeared at the beginning of the film reappeared, "and we found that many viewers tuned in all night and saw him as a good friend. ”
"You're crazy, you know what?" Truman whispered to the audience in front of the TV.
"Hannah Gill plays Meryl", followed by a beautiful woman, who is Nicole Kidman, with her long blonde hair hanging down slightly, with a faint smile on her face, "For me, private life is no different from public life, my life is ...... It's my life, it's Truman's world. Truman's world is ...... A way of life, a model of life......" Then she pondered for a moment, thought hard, and said again, "A truly happy life." ”
Truman then reappeared, whispering into the TV screen, "I know, tell me something I don't know." This sentence seemed to echo Hannah's words just now, "Very well, promise me one thing, if I die before I reach the top, you will treat me as food." Before the words fell, Truman frowned himself, with a disgusted expression, "Gross, disgusting!" ”
This makes the medium. The scene at the National Theater resounded with fragmentary low laughter, and then the subtitles appeared again on the big screen, "Louis Cutland as Malone", and then Alexander Lorraine appeared on the screen, dressed in the overalls of a supermarket employee, "The content is real, original, everything that happens on this show is real, and some are just regulated." ”
Immediately afterwards, the name of the movie appeared on the big screen, "Truman's World"!
Wait, what's going on? Is this the name of the movie or the name of the TV show in the movie? The audience was confused for a moment, which caused a small commotion on the scene, but before the commotion started, Truman's face appeared on the big screen again.
I saw Truman gritting his teeth and glaring at him, like a bulldog, "Eat me, damn it, I order you!" Then he slowed down and said to himself, "Maybe just eat your favorite handles (muscles near the mermaid line)." But then he changed his style, "I have a love handle?" Then he blinked his eyes and whispered, "Yes, little." ”
Obviously, this is one of Truman's entertaining himself, playing two characters talking to each other, and one person is having fun. But at this moment, Hannah's voice came from behind, "Truman, you're almost late!" This interrupted Truman's entertainment time, and he showed a smile and shouted briskly, "Got it! ”
But when he randomly looked at the camera again, Truman let out a long breath, and the confusion and heaviness between his eyebrows poured out in an instant, but soon converged again, he turned around, opened the bathroom door, and left the space. A set of fonts appeared on the screen, "Broadcast on the 10909th day".
In an instant, the audience gasped, Tom Cruise could hardly believe his eyes, he heard his wife talk about the idea and conception of this movie, he already thought it was incredible, but after actually seeing the movie shooted, the powerful shock still came to his face.
The whole movie is actually a TV show, a reality show that truly records the life of this man called "Truman Burbank", except for Truman, everyone else is just actors, they play a role, really integrate into Truman's life, and then record it all through the camera and broadcast it to the audience. And the audience sitting in the cinema at this time is the audience watching the reality show, just like the audience of the TV show in the movie - really making every real viewer a part of the movie.
Such a whimsical idea came to everyone's face in an instant, making everyone amazed, and no one has noticed the true meaning behind this show at this moment, but vaguely feels that this movie is obviously not so simple. Tom Cruise couldn't help but adjust his sitting position and put himself in full immersion.
Truman changed his clothes and walked out of his house, there was a camera in front of him, and he showed an extremely bright smile, "Good morning!" Then you can see that Truman is greeting his next-door neighbor, and the sweet family also waves hello to him, and the corners of Truman's mouth outline a beautiful arc, "Oh, in case I can't see you, so good afternoon, good evening, good night!" ”
Truman's incomparably bright and cheerful smile infected everyone, Leonardo DiCaprio looked at the big screen, and couldn't help but chuckle, especially when he saw Truman's slightly exaggerated movements, and then turned his head to look at Hugo sitting next to him, he couldn't help laughing, and he chuckled.
Truman was about to drive to work, but he saw that a light suddenly fell from the sky, and a foreign object fell from the clear sky for some reason? This is simply a fantasy, Truman was puzzled, carefully checked the lights, but still had no clue, so he could only drive to work.
The radio in the car gave the answer, "When a passenger plane flew over Paradise Island, it broke down and parts fell off." Luckily no one was hurt, so how was your day? ”
Truman sat in the driver's seat, and there was a camera behind the on-board instrument disc that recorded his every move, and the radio jokingly asked, "Do you plan to fly today?" Truman just casually replied "no", and immediately after the radio said, "No? That's great, it's a typical problem, and you get into accidents even when you are boating or driving, let alone flying......"
Truman came to work at the company, but he was a little absent-minded, he quietly avoided the phone call of his colleague and asked about the Fiji Islands, he wanted to inquire about a girl named "Lauren Caranti" or "Sylvia Caranti", but to no avail.
Truman thinks that his actions are hiding from everyone's eyes, but everyone knows that everything is exposed under the camera lens, and his colleagues are constantly monitoring his movements. The colleague asked Truman to complete an insurance deal, near the port, but Truman wanted to refuse, and the colleague stressed that the company would lay off people at the end of the month, and Truman's performance was not enough, so he had to go.
In desperation, Truman could only accept the deal, but after coming to the port, Truman couldn't control his panic, standing on the beach, he began to weaken his feet, and it was extremely difficult to even walk to the edge of the dock. When he saw that a broken ship next to the dock had sunk to the bottom of the water, Truman's whole body was almost unstable, and the intense dizziness made him sweat profusely and tremble, and finally he could only barely hold on to the pillar next to him, and moved back to land step by step.
Gradually, Leonardo began to devote himself to the movie, which is actually the TV show "Truman's World", and this TV show is set up on a small island with countless cameras, recording every detail of Truman Burbank's life from all corners and aspects.
Leonardo knew that everyone except Truman was an actor, but Truman was kept in the dark. Truman's sneaky actions have long been exposed to every pair of eyes. Leonardo didn't know what Truman's actions just now meant, what the names of the two women meant, why his colleagues asked Truman to go to the dock, and why did Truman run away...... Countless secrets are waiting to be revealed, but Leonardo can clearly feel the fact that the program team of the TV show is monitoring Truman's life and is trying to control Truman's life......
Such a simple fact made Leonardo faintly feel a little uncomfortable, and the inexplicable anxiety made him have to adjust his sitting posture, but he was reluctant to take his eyes off the movie screen at all.
