In the history of comedy films, many works are considered to have the ability to wake up the world, such as "City Lights", such as "Singin' in the Rain", such as "Beautiful Life", these works can often produce far-reaching aftertastes after making people laugh.

"Truman's World" can definitely be regarded as one of the best, and the profound connotation of this work has been affirmed by many film critics. However, the Chicago Tribune feature has taken the work to a whole new level, and its depth of thought has even surpassed that of Forrest Gump, which has been considered the culmination of the past decade.

It is not unusual to explore "Truman's world" from a religious point of view, Christopher is originally considered to be a role of God in the story, but these discussions in the "Chicago Tribune" have further sublimated the film, not only interpreting religion in all aspects, but also going one step further - judging God, questioning faith, and criticizing social ideology, which is far more profound and heavy than the so-called film industry.

Even the original ideological core of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Prisoners' Walk" is not so profound, and "Truman's world" has risen to a new height, especially in the context of the change of dynasties in the whole society, so it is even more socially significant.

This opened the door for everyone to see a whole new world, and not only those involved in the entertainment industry, but also sociologists, religious figures, partisans, and politicians joined the discussion.

Clearly, "Truman's World" has become the object of criticism and resistance from religious figures, and in Utah, where conservative forces are most active, there have even been large demonstrations demanding a ban on the film, and even the state government of Utah has protested against Paramount Pictures in the hope that they can control the bad rhetoric.

However, Utah conservatives can't do anything about "Truman's world" because there are no forbidden parts of the movie, the film is rated G - that is, the general public, suitable for all ages, and there is no sensitive information, even if they want to ban the movie, they can't find a precise reason - after all, these subsequent discussions are just metaphors and allusions.

Even the Republicans have joined the criticism, strongly condemning the insinuations of "Truman's world", and they have been working to create a harmonious and happy family atmosphere, hoping that more people will join them. But now "Truman's World" is sneering at their ideals, almost without directly saying "they are a bunch of liars". This caused many members of the Republican Party to directly express their strong dissatisfaction in public, and even directly put pressure on Paramount's top management.

These discussions in the Chicago Tribune directly pushed the "Truman's world" to the pinnacle of controversy, which was also something that no one expected.

In fact, after "Schindler's List", several other works of Hugo have also caused more or less social controversy, among which the influence of "Seven Deadly Sins" is the most, but most of these controversies are dissatisfaction and protests against the status quo of the whole society, and do not really form a confrontation between two different groups like "Schindler's List". Now, nearly two weeks after its release, "Truman's World" has unexpectedly sparked a wave of controversy, extending to the level of the entire social ideology, affecting everyone at all levels, classes, and fields of society.

In such a situation, not to mention the relevant personnel of the "Truman's World" crew, even the initiator "Chicago Tribune" did not expect it at all. The Chicago Tribune, which published this issue, sold four million copies! This was the first time in the history of the Chicago Tribune, and they printed 500,000 copies and then sold them again, much to the joy of the newspaper.

Seeing the great success of the "Chicago Tribune", more than 10 newspapers followed suit, and it was difficult to succeed in this kind of follow-up, but surprisingly, the sales of these 10 newspapers all hit a new high since 1998 -- people ignore one thing, in addition to Chicago, there are also many viewers in other regions who are eager to express their opinions, especially related to religious beliefs, dream lives, and other aspects of life, values, and worldviews, which are closely related to everyone's lifeSo, even if there are ten or twenty newspapers that have opened up such special topics, there will always be a steady stream of letters from audiences, and the frenzy of discussion will flourish proudly in all corners of the North American continent.

In just one week, there were more than 800 news and comments about "Truman's world" in North America, which even exceeded the results of the first week of the premiere, and the relevant comments on TV and radio stations reached an astonishing more than 30,000 times.

At the regular White House press conference, the topic of "Truman's world" was mentioned five times in three consecutive days, and Bill Clinton was also quite laughing about it - after "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Independence Day", this is the third time in his tenure that he has had to respond to the topic raised by a movie, and it is all from the same actor. This is not only an unprecedented situation, but it is estimated that there will be no one to come.

In the midst of such a frenzy, "Truman's World" is actually considered a cautionary fable, which can be called a realistic black fairy tale, and the mighty wave of discussion has made more and more audiences flock to the cinema.

Originally, "Truman's World" starring Hugo was the first choice on many people's viewing lists, especially under the incredible praise of film critics, which made people more and more determined their willingness to watch movies; And now, "Truman's world" has become a hot topic in the whole society, as if if if you haven't seen this movie, you will be derailed from the times, even when chatting with friends after dinner, you will be excluded.

This made the North American film market extremely hot in the second week of June, and audiences frantically entered the cinema, hoping to watch "Truman's World" for the first time, and then express their own opinions in support or criticism, disdain or rejection. The scene almost made people think they were back on Independence Day or Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World opening weekend — if not crowded.

In fact, in addition to "Truman's World," another high-profile work premiered this week, director Ivan Reitman, who once directed "Ghostbusters." Reitman) teamed up with Harrison Ford, the first true box office superstar in North American film history, to strike hard, "Six. Days。 Seven。 With an investment of $70 million, it blends elements such as love, action and adventure, and is scheduled to be released in 2,600 theaters, making it a strong contender for the summer season.

Before the box office of the premiere of "Truman's World" came out, many media believed that "Six Days and Seven Nights" was capable of handing over box office figures between 25 million and 30 million, and it was very likely that "Truman's World" would become the box office champion in the second week of June.

But now it is widely believed that the battle between "Truman's World" and "Six Days and Seven Nights" will most likely end in the former's back-to-back championship – and the results have confirmed that speculation.

Under the watchful eye, Paramount added 500 venues, bringing the number of theaters in "Truman's World" to 3,000, which shows Paramount's strong confidence in the movie, and the North American audience also gave a corresponding enthusiastic return, which made the movie hand over a sub-weekly decline of the sky-defying level, and the 15% decline data brought out a second-week box office of 38 million US dollars!

The box office performance of "Truman's World" in the second week has surpassed "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", "Tornado", "Titanic" and other works, only behind "Independence Day" and "Jurassic Park", and came to the third place in film history.

Who would have thought that "Truman's World" would not only create a historical record of comedy films, but also surpass works such as "L.A. Confidential", "Speed of Life and Death", "Schindler's List", and become Hugo's box office performance so far second only to "Independence Day"?

The triumph of this work even transcends the history created by the "Independence Day" in the first place, and has a more profound significance. After all, "Independence Day" is a popcorn commercial blockbuster in the traditional sense, and the box office performance is expected, but "Truman's World" is just a comedy movie that does not have enough box office momentum, and this result is even more incredible - which reminds people of "L.A. Confidential", which created a box office miracle last year.

In two weeks, the cumulative box office of "Truman's World" crossed the threshold of 100 million US dollars and reached 100 million 9 million US dollars, and the box office performance in the same period is still ahead of "Heaven and Earth Collision" and "Godzilla", and it is still the most outstanding box office performance since 1998. There is no doubt that this work is bound to break the historical record of a series of comedy films, and if nothing else, the 200 million threshold should not be a problem - becoming the third 200 million box office comedy after "Home Alone", "Beverly Hills" and "My Fair Daddy", people's eyes should be on the more long-term 250 million or 300 million US dollars, which makes everyone's blood boil.

In the face of the crushing momentum of "Truman's World", it is really difficult for "Six Days and Seven Nights" to show a confrontational posture.
