Chapter 2002: 2002 The Truman World
After Paramount’s classic snow-capped mountain logo appeared, there was no subtitle, no movie title, no starring list, and a TV screen appeared directly, and a face appeared on the screen, filling the entire screen, and the audience passed the big screen. Watch what's playing on the small screen.
"We're tired of watching the fake performances of the actors, tired of the fancy visual effects, but in 'The Truman Show', it can be said to be fictional, but there is nothing fake about Truman himself. No Script, no slate, it may not be Shakespeare, but it's true. It's a life!"
The short and clear 30-second statement opened the prelude to the story of "The Truman Show". Before the audience had time to calm down, they were already substituted into the story. Then I saw the enlarged version of Hugo's face appearing on the small screen in the big screen, which calmed down the noise of the scene.
Truman stared at the camera in a daze. There was a pile of cosmetics in front of him, but it was not an obstacle, as if there was no distance between him and the audience, and they were talking face to face. Truman's eyes were dull and depressed, faintly revealing A little dazed, "I can't hold on anymore." Truman lowered his voice and said softly, "You have to go by yourself, don't wait for me." Those light words were full of tiredness and disappointment, and the indescribable grayness hit his face Come.
The words "Live Broadcast" 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. Many people don't watch the cast list-who doesn't know Hugo at the scene today? But those who looked at the cast found that the font was not "Hugo Lancaster as Truman Burbank" but "Truman Burbank as himself". What's going on?
Immediately afterwards, Truman's face appeared on the TV screen again, and his eyes slowly released a bright light, "Impossible, sir! Even if you are limping, you will climb to the top of the world with me!"
The subtitles appear again, "Directed by Christopher." "The Truman Show" was obviously directed by Peter Weir, Hugo's mentor. Why did another Christopher appear? Who is this?
The man who appeared at the beginning of the film reappears, "We found that many viewers stayed up all night and regarded him as a good friend."
"You're crazy, do you know that?" Truman whispered to the audience in front of the TV.
"Hannah-Gill plays Meryl", followed by a beautiful woman, it was Nicole Kidman, her long blond hair was slightly hanging down, with a faint smile on her face, "Yes For me, there is no difference between private life and public life, my life... is my life, the Truman world. The Truman world is... a way of life, a model life..." Then she After pondering for a while, after serious consideration, he said again, "A truly happy life."
Truman appeared again immediately, and whispered to 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 something , if I die before reaching the summit, you will treat me as food." Before he finished speaking, Truman frowned by himself, with a disgusted expression on his face, "Ouch, it's so disgusting!"
This lets in. Fragments of low laughter sounded at the National Theater, and then the subtitles appeared on the big screen again, "Louis Coltrane as Marlon", and then Alexander Lorraine appeared on the screen, wearing a supermarket employee's overalls, " The content is real and authentic, everything that happens on this show is real, and some are just regulation."
Immediately afterwards, the name of the movie, "The Truman Show" appeared on the big screen!
Wait, what's going on here? Is this the name of the movie or the name of the TV show in the movie? The audience was confused for an instant, which caused a small commotion at the scene, but before the commotion arose, Truman's face appeared on the big screen again.
I saw Truman gritted his teeth, his eyes widened, like a bulldog, "Eat me, damn it, I order you!" Then he slowed down again, and said to himself, "Maybe just Eat your love handles (the muscles near the mermaid line)." But then changed his style again, "I have love handles?" Then he blinked his eyes and said softly, "Yes, small."
Obviously, this is Truman's self-entertainment, playing two characters talking to each other, and having fun alone. But at this time, Hannah's voice just now came from behind, "Truman, you're going to be late!" This interrupted Truman's entertainment time, he smiled and shouted briskly ,"knew!"
But when Shuran looked at the camera again, Truman let out a long breath, the confusion and heaviness between his eyebrows poured out instantly, but he quickly restrained himself again, he turned around, opened the bathroom door, out of this space. A set of fonts appeared on the screen, "Show on Day 10909".
In an instant, the entire audience gasped, and Tom Cruise couldn't believe his eyes. He heard his wife talk about the idea and idea of the movie. After the movie was shot, the powerful shock still came to my face.
The whole movie is actually a TV show, a reality show that actually records the life of this man named "Truman-Burbank". Except for Truman, everyone else is just an actor. A character, truly integrated into Truman's life, and then recorded all this through the camera and broadcast it to the audience. And the audience sitting in the movie theater at this time is the audience watching this reality show, just like the audience of the TV show in the movie-truly making every real audience a part of the movie.
Such a whimsical idea rushed to the face in an instant, making everyone amazed. At this moment, no one has noticed the true meaning behind this program, but only vaguely felt that this movie is obviously not that simple. Tom Cruise couldn't help but adjusted his sitting posture and devoted himself wholeheartedly.
Truman changed his clothes and walked out of his house. There was a video camera directly in front of him. He showed a very bright smile, "Good morning!" Then you can see that Truman is greeting his neighbor next door , that sweet family also waved hello to him, and the corner of Truman's mouth outlined 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 couldn't help but chuckled as he looked at the big screen, especially when he saw Truman's slightly exaggerated movements. , and then turned to look at Hugo sitting next to him, he couldn't help laughing, and chuckled lightly.
Truman was about to drive to work, but he saw a light suddenly fell from the sky, and a foreign object fell out of nowhere in the clear sky? 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 on the car gave the answer, "A passenger plane broke down and parts fell off while flying over Paradise Island. Fortunately, no one was injured. How is your day?"
Truman was sitting in the driver's seat, and there was a camera behind the car's instrument panel to record his every move. The radio jokingly asked, "Do you plan to fly today?" Truman just said casually. After answering "No", the radio immediately said, "No? That's great, this is a typical problem, even boats and cars can be involved in accidents, let alone flying..."
Truman came to the company to work, but he was a little absent-minded. He quietly avoided calling his colleagues and asked about the Fiji Islands. Caranti" girl, but to no avail.
Truman thinks that his actions are hiding from everyone's sight, but he doesn't know that everything is exposed under the lens of the camera, and his colleagues have been monitoring his actions all the time. Colleagues asked Truman to complete an insurance transaction near the port, but Truman wanted to refuse. Colleagues emphasized that the company would lay off employees at the end of the month, and Truman's performance was not enough, so he had to go.
In desperation, Truman had no choice but to accept the deal, but after arriving at the port, Truman couldn't control his panic. Standing by the sea, his feet began to feel weak, and he couldn't even walk to the edge of the pier. difficulty. Seeing that a wrecked boat beside the pier had sunk to the bottom of the water, Truman almost couldn't stand still. The intense dizziness made him sweat profusely and tremble all over. The pillar moved back to the land step by step.
Leonardo gradually began to devote himself to the movie. The movie is actually the TV program "The Truman Show", and this TV program set up countless cameras on a small island, recording from every corner and every aspect. Every detail of Truman Burbank's life.
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 pier, why Truman ran away... countless secrets are waiting to be revealed, But Leonardo can clearly feel the fact that the program crew of the TV show is monitoring Truman's life and is trying to control Truman's life...
Such a simple fact made Leonardo feel a little uncomfortable. The inexplicable anxiety made him have to adjust his sitting posture, but he couldn't bear to leave the movie screen at all.
