Chapter 2003: 2003 The Hand of God

As the story unfolds, Truman's life is revealed to the audience bit by bit.

Truman wants to go out for a walk, he wants to leave the comfortable and boring life of Paradise Island, he wants to go out to see the outside world, but he is still hesitant because of the shadow of his childhood. When he was a child, his father took him to sail together, but they encountered a storm, and his father was buried in the waves. Truman was rescued by chance, but this became the shadow of his life. He dared not go near the sea—and Paradise Island was surrounded by Hai, he didn't dare to take the plane - because he was worried about accidents, Truman was still afraid to start the challenge.

Now, Truman's dream begins to move around again, but his good friend Marlon and his wife Meryl pour 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 he met a homeless man on the road, which made Truman stunned. Looking back carefully, he found that he had been dead for many years Father, this made Truman's brain crash immediately, and he fell into complete shock.

But before Truman could react, someone rushed over and took his father away. When Truman wanted to catch up, he was constantly blocked by pedestrians. Even though he tried his best to sprint forward, he still couldn't see Watching his father being taken onto a bus, he slammed on the door of the bus frantically, trying to keep up with the pace of the bus, "Stop, stop quickly", his hoarse cry did not bring any As a result, the last taxi rushed out suddenly, blocking Truman's pace, and he could only watch the bus drive away.

In this way, Truman was left in the same place, dazed, like a lost child, pacing back and forth in the same place, walking to the left, and then to the right, but found that he had no idea where his destination was. where.

Tom Cruise began to wonder about the follow-up development of this movie, because he knew very well how many unexpected situations a 24-hour TV show would encounter, just like a live broadcast. There have been many accidents in Truman's life one after another, and now Truman's father unexpectedly appeared again.

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

Truman went home and asked his mother, wanting to confirm his guess - his father was not dead at all, but his mother thought it was just Truman's fantasy, which made Truman very frustrated. After returning home, Truman didn't want to talk to Meryl either, but just hid in the basement and secretly looked at the photo of him and his father when he was a child, his face full of nostalgia.

When Meryl came to the basement to look for Truman, Truman quickly put away everything, not wanting his wife to know, and Meryl didn't care at all, just asked a simple question, and then began to discuss irrelevant There was an urgent problem with the lawn mower. Looking at his wife who was maintaining an elegant and perfect image all the time, it was like a model in a glass cabinet. Truman did not tell his wife what was on his mind this time.

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

He met a girl named Lauren when he was in college. At that time, Meryl boldly pursued Truman, but Truman still fell in love with Lauren at first sight. He found that there was a strong chemical reaction between him and Lauren. But Lauren seems to have some scruples, and she still can't let go. But in the end Lauren 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. She said that Truman's life is all fiction, everything is built around him, and everyone around him is acting, all of which are fake.

Truman is completely shocked, even a little overwhelmed, Lauren-or Sylvia was taken by a man who claimed to be Lauren's father, but Lauren kept denying it. It wasn't the first time the man said Lauren was actually schizophrenic. Truman didn't want to believe it, but the information Lauren brought was too large and messy, and Truman couldn't digest it immediately, so he could only watch the man take Lauren away.

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

"Why don't you go to Fiji with her?" Leonardo couldn't help but murmured softly, and the audience who was watching this reality show in the movie also asked the same question. The waiter, obviously a loyal audience, gave her answer, "His mother had a serious illness and he couldn't bear to leave. He was very kind, maybe too kind."

"I can't believe he married Meryl not long after Lauren left." Another new viewer shook his head and sighed, and the bar owner complained to the waitress, "The video of that scene We already have it." It meant to tell them not to watch it again, and to work quickly, but unexpectedly, the new viewer asked in a low voice, "Can you lend it to me?"

This made the movie theater burst into laughter.

Truman sat in front of the table in the basement and took out a collage. Next to it were various photos of eyes that he tore out from fashion magazines every day. He was trying to piece together Lauren's picture in his memory. Appearance, but it is not an easy task.

Sylvia, who was sitting in front of the TV, saw the happy smile on the corner of Truman's mouth, tears filled her eyes.

However, the anger in Leonardo's heart broke out uncontrollably, and he yelled "grass" viciously, causing the whole movie theater to commotion, which made Leonardo realize his impoliteness, and said quickly Say "Sorry" and sit down again.

Hugo cast a concerned gaze, and Leonardo shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Leonardo finally understood where his inner discomfort came from, because the program group of this reality show claimed to be God—the God in Truman's world, and they manipulated Truman's life according to their own wishes:

They knew that if the actor who played Truman's wife had a real relationship with Truman, the situation would get out of control, just like Lauren, so they took Lauren away, kicked Lauren out of the crew, and lied to Truman that Lauren went 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 indifference to Truman, almost every appearance is like a model showing an advertisement. That kind of indifference and alienation completely regards this marriage as a job, and Truman is thus trapped On Paradise Island. There is no love, no affection, and no freedom.

No wonder when they heard that Truman was secretly inquiring about Lauren when he was working in the company, they immediately resorted to their trump card—making Truman face his fear of the sea again, in order to firmly tie Truman to this small island superior!

This made Leonardo feel angry, an irrepressible anger!

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

Truman's abnormal behavior caused the entire program group to be in chaos, and even directly saw the crew's office behind the elevator in the so-called bank building, and the entire crew was exposed in front of Truman. Although Truman was taken away as soon as he left to avoid further exposure of the secret, Truman really felt something unusual.

With more and more abnormalities in his life, Truman decided to start to fight back. He followed Meryl, trying to figure out whether Meryl was a real nurse—more trying to figure out what was happening in his life. Abnormal everywhere, but at the last moment, he was stopped by the hospital's security guards. Later, Truman finally decided to take a 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 air ticket will be one month later; then he decided to take the bus to Chicago, but the bus broke down, and today's flight was stopped.

Looking at Truman who was sitting in a daze and stubbornly unwilling to leave, Leonardo felt a burst of sadness for no reason.

Afterwards, Truman returned home, sat in his car, and quietly looked at the ordinary street in front of him. He noticed that a group of people had been circling in front of his house, and would appear in front of him every once in a while. In front of his eyes, it seemed that it had been deliberately arranged, and it was more like his boring life day after day.

Meryl got in the car to dissuade Truman, but Meryl didn't care about Truman's real thoughts at all. She was just whitewashing the peace and dealing with Truman with hypocritical politeness, which made Truman no longer able to bear it. He locked the car door directly, saying "we're leaving today", and then Truman stepped on the accelerator!

Truman drove the car to leave Paradise Island, but found that everything seemed to be planned. The streets of the island were completely congested with traffic, and it was impossible to move even a tiny bit. Leonardo couldn't help becoming tense, adrenaline made his mouth dry, as if he was sitting in Truman's car at this moment, hoping that Truman could really drive out of this small cage-like car like never before. island.

Suddenly, Truman decided to give up. It seemed that he was persuaded by Meryl, and his patience was worn away by the traffic jam in front of him. He decided to go home. Meryl was relieved, but the audience in the movie theater expressed disappointment. sigh. Truman drove the car back to the roundabout, and then started to circle around the roundabout, which scared Meryl, "Why don't you turn?"

Truman’s eyes widened, and he said frantically, “I’ve changed my mind again! It’s Carnival in New Orleans now, wow!” Truman seemed to be in a frenzy, laughing loudly, and then drove The car circled around the island quickly, seeing Meryl's astonished expression, but Truman, like a successful clown, stepped on the accelerator and walked out of the island again.

"Look! Meryl, same road, but no cars! Like magic!"
