Although Truman was real, his surrounding weren’t. Being born to be a star and not know it was Chirstoff plan. He was filming him since birth. There’s a big difference between reality TV and the Truman show. Unlike “the bachelor” “survivor” or “the real world”, Truman didn’t sign up for this life, he was put into it. He was free of danger and protected. Although he got to do whatever he wanted most of it was set up, his wife, friends, job even his mother was in it.

This kind of life style wasn’t right, and I think he realizes it at the end. When he finds out that everything isn’t true, he somewhat rebels. Chirstoff tries to convince him to stay.He say’s, "I have given Truman the chance to lead a normal life. The world, the place you live in, is the sick place. Sea haven is the way the world should be”. Truman wasn’t living a normal life, his life was planned, he was away from reality. Everybody in there was living a fake life. I don’t agree with what Christof said. Yes, sea haven was beautiful, nice beach, beautiful houses, but it isn’t a life I would like to live. Just like Truman I would make the choice and leave. It’s kind of uncomfortable finding out that you’re being watched for so long, like any human being there’s always a curious feeling to want to find out the truth. In my opinion I think he will find it better in the outside. He can associate himself with real people, Most of them knowing about him , since he was on TV for so long.He can expericence real humans not people just acting , for example the lady he met inside , the one trying to free him from the reality show. It was kind of wierd how he was so interested in her and not his "wife". Fake feeling in my opinion will never be fully shown like real ones.
