This star is too fierce

Chapter 436 There Are Infinite Possibilities in Life

Zhang Sheng has already watched Liu Yuan's version of "The Truman Show".

I have made so many movies, although basically I was a porter.

But movies are not like music, moving here and being successful requires skills.

Zhang Sheng is definitely an excellent filmmaker now.

He naturally has a high appreciation for good or bad movies.

He naturally knows the quality of this movie.

Definitely not worse than the original.

The starring roles of Deng Ming, Shen Bo and others definitely brought the roles to life.

The interaction before the movie starts ends quickly.

After Zhang Sheng and the others sat down, the broadcast soon started.

Every day of Truman starts with saying good morning to his neighbors.

He lives in Taoyuan Island, which is isolated from the world, and has been a child of a special family since he was a child.

Studying, working, falling in love, getting married step by step every day... living a life that every ordinary person is accustomed to.

For ordinary people, this seems to be fine.

As everyone knows, behind such a superficial happiness and stability is a well-planned deception.

For 30 years, Truman's life has been live broadcasted 24 hours around the world.

The people he met, the things he experienced, and even all the emotions he had, all came from the careful design of the chief director.

As big as what kind of person you fall in love with, get married, and start a family, as small as what style of clothes you like and what type of books you like to read.

These are all well-written scripts.

In order to meet the expectations of the audience, he was arranged to have excellent grades and gentle manners; he was arranged to have a decent job and a happy family.

In order to maintain the running of the program, he was arranged to be shipwrecked at a young age. Since then, he was afraid of going to sea and could only stay on the island for decades.

"horrible!"

When many people see this, there are only two words in their minds.

Jiang Bin and the others looked at each other, but fell into deep thought without saying anything.

Is Truman's world hypocritical and terrible?

Life is so manipulated!
Lovers and friends are fake, work and life are fake, and even your own thoughts are fake.

Imprisoned in a false world, I don't realize it, let alone save myself.

"A metaphor for life?"

Jiang Bin seemed to think of something.

How many people in this world are not like Truman?

It's just that the one who manipulates oneself is different from the one in the movie.

We seem to be getting used to it every day!

Under the "expectation" of society and parents, how many people confine themselves to the appearance that the outside world likes to watch?

On the surface, each life node is a choice made by oneself;

But in fact, everything is secretly marked with the optimal solution.

Many people have been Trumans without realizing the truth throughout their lives.

"I seem to be a Truman too!"

Jiang Bin muttered suddenly, then laughed.

Zhang Guohua and Chen Jinghua were taken aback for a moment, and then they smiled dumbly.

Why aren't they?
Or they used to be, why not!

The movie continues.

Originally, Truman could live in such a peaceful way forever.

Until one day, he was surprised to find that his father who had passed away suddenly appeared in front of him again.

People around him said that he read wrong, was too tired, and had hallucinations.

But after careful recollection, Truman found that life was full of weirdness:

The beautiful first love she met in college was suddenly taken away by her father;

I want to leave home to find my beloved girl, but my mother suddenly becomes seriously ill and needs to be taken care of urgently;

Afterwards, whenever he wanted to leave the island, he either had no tickets for the plane or encountered an accident, and even the police came forward to stop him.

These outrageous incidents seem to remind him that someone is manipulating his life.

He began to try to escape from this cage.

If you can’t buy a plane ticket, then drive; if you are blocked by the police, then go out to sea; if there is a storm at sea, then overcome your inner fear.

A thought always hovered in his mind: "I want to go out, I want to go out."

At this point in the film, many people who react slowly also have a feeling:
In reality, why isn't each of us a Truman?
From birth, under the eyes of the outside world, he was shaped into a standardized "good boy", "good student" and "good lover".

But think about it carefully, have you become yourself, or have you become a puppet of other people's words and deeds?
Did you live 10 years, or did you repeat a day for 10 years?
Are you in charge of your life, or have you always been restricted by rules and regulations?

Thinking hard!
This is indeed a thought-provoking movie.

Life is not a track, but a wilderness to explore.

There is only one life. Looking for your own destination in other people's maps is doomed to be a futile effort.

No matter when, the right to choose in life will always be in your own hands.

The first half of the film is about Truman's search for the truth, which is still a human curiosity; in the second half, the choices he made in the face of the world are the reasons why he became a "hero".

When Truman went through all the hardships to get through the sea he once feared, opened the door to the outside world, and finally met the "black hand" who manipulated his life, but the other party told him:

The world out there is as false as the world I gave you, with the same lies, the same deceit.But in my world, you don't have to be afraid of anything, I know yourself better than you, and now you are scared, so you can't go.

At this time, the camera focused on Truman again.

Truman persisted in his determination to get out of Taoyuan Island, and left a classic scene in film history: he said to the camera that had been monitoring him for 29 years the line he repeated to his neighbors for many years in the morning: good morning, in case I don't see you To you, good afternoon and good evening.

This is the sublimation part of the film, and it is also the ultimate interpretation of reality.

What is real?
Is it to reach the other side without hesitation?

Is it desperate to tell the truth?
Is it Truman's smile at the last curtain call?
Perhaps it is the ups and downs of all living beings.

There is a design throughout the film: the lens language is different from the screen perspective of normal films.

Such a design seems to remind us that we are observing Truman, and we are the audience of this reality show.

At the same time, in order to exaggerate the sense of distance between people and Truman in reality, in the off-site audience watching the Truman show, Truman will always appear on the TV and be framed by a frame.

These designs have always reminded us of the unreality of the world Truman lived in, and also reflected the director's superb lens use skills.

Of course, these were mentioned during the discussion between Zhang Sheng and Liu Yuan.

At the end of the movie, the applause lasted for a moment.

It's not that the movie isn't good enough.

But everyone fell into a thought.

A question raised by Zhang Shengdu before:

Will he pretend not to know and continue to linger in the familiar illusion; or will he break out of the cage desperately and look for the truth in the unfamiliar reality?
Everyone didn't know how to answer for a while.

They feel that they are also "Trumen", living in a script woven by the outside world.

The expectations of our parents, the direction of public opinion, and social stereotypes all hinder our choices.

We always want to be the director of life, but most of the time we are just actors with superb acting skills.

Leaving the comfort zone is not easy for anyone, especially Truman who has never seen the real world.

But he still firmly chose to leave.

Although this means breaking and reshaping everything in the past 30 years, struggling to survive in a strange world.

But he still doesn't want to live in a world full of deceit and lies, and doesn't want to be at the mercy of others all the time.

He wants to find the truth of the world, and he wants to direct his own life.

But not everyone has the courage to face the naked truth after examination.

More of us don't have the courage he has.

Although the comfort zone can provide a shelter from the wind, but in many cases, it has also become the shackles we draw as a prison.

Just like many people in our lives, while weary of the unchanging work within the system, we are also reluctant to part with the stability and dignity brought by the iron rice bowl;

When the external changes came suddenly, I realized that I had lost the courage and ability to adapt.

Most people are Trumans who dare not leave the false world.

Only a very small number of brave people dare to escape from "Truman's World" and live out their true selves.

Although it is difficult to leave the comfort zone, only when you push open the door of inertia and take steps towards a wider world, you will find:

In fact, there are infinite possibilities in life.

Truman?

Go out?

Get out the door of inertia.

Perhaps Zhang Sheng had already given the answer to his question when he took this door.

At the end of the movie, Zhang Sheng and other main creators came to the stage again to accept media interviews.

However, Zhang Sheng seems to deliberately reduce his sense of existence.

It's just that the media doesn't seem to let him go.

"Director Zhang, do you think you are Truman?" A reporter asked, "Then what is manipulating you invisibly?"

"Me?" Zhang Sheng said, "Perhaps more or less? For example, I wanted to take Sisi for a stroll, but we were too popular, and I was afraid of causing a riot, so I had to give up."

When the reporters heard it, they felt something was wrong.

But don't know how to refute?
Zhang Sheng's words should have revealed helplessness, but why did they sound like they were in Versailles?
too hot?

Who in the entertainment industry doesn't want to be popular!

If no one can recognize any celebrity when he walks around the street, I'm afraid that's not what he wants!

However, those reporters did not struggle.

"After we get married, let's go abroad and go shopping with me, don't be tired!"

After the premiere, on the way back, Gu Sisi said to Zhang Sheng with a smile.

"I'm also very popular abroad." Zhang Sheng thought for a while and said.

shop?

Zhang Sheng is a martial arts practitioner with amazing physical strength.

But he really couldn't guarantee that he could beat Gu Sisi.

"Your exposure rate abroad is not very good." Gu Sisi said, "I really thought how many people would recognize you when you walk on the street. For many foreigners, Chinese faces are all the same."

When Zhang Sheng heard it, he smiled and nodded.

Although Gu Sisi's words were a bit exaggerated.

However, on foreign streets, there are probably not too many people who can recognize him.

If you go shopping or something, there really won't be any problem.

Of course, even if there is a problem, there is no need to refute it at this time.

Thinking about how long he has been with Gu Sisi, it seems that he has never gone shopping with her.

Is there any man who doesn't go shopping with his girlfriend?
It is estimated that very few.

Zhang Sheng didn't want to be one of them.
