Superstar

Petofi-Santor once wrote, "Life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away."

It was not until his father reappeared that Truman truly realized that what he wanted was not material life or spiritual life, but only freedom. That is the simplest, but also the most difficult word.

From slaves seeking emancipation, to blacks seeking equality, to women seeking recognition... The entire history of mankind has been the process of constantly pursuing and embracing freedom. This is the most basic of human rights. , The most easily overlooked item, but it is also the most important item. This is the reason and foundation for human beings to exist as an independent individual. The King of the North Song Dynasty. Without freedom, everything is no longer important.

Living in Seaside, living in this peach blossom field, Truman's life is perfect, no doubt. But faintly, Truman felt that his life seemed to be manipulated, as if...like the hand of God.

His father died and then came back to life again; his first love suddenly left, and then disappeared in Fiji with no news; his studies were smooth, his work was smooth, and even his work after graduation was smooth; his wife fell in love, But there is no child, even if there is a dispute, it disappears quickly, so perfect that it doesn't seem to be real...

All this is like, like a frame, binding oneself, he is just a puppet in someone's hands. When the time is up, he should go to school, then graduate, work, get married, and have children; when the time is up, he should be happy Or unhappy, and then a friend appears to calm all his inner irritability accurately; when the time is up, he should be happy, as if all the problems in life can be calmed at any time.

But, is it really God who controls all this?

Some people say that this is destiny, it is destined, so they resigned to follow the instructions of fate, and even gave up struggling, just complaining about God’s injustice and fate’s teasing; but some people said that this should not be fate, because no one can" "Decision" This is my own life.

Even if it is God, he is not qualified to decide a person’s life, because he is the only one who owns his life. This freedom cannot be replaced. Only he can decide whether this period of life is miserable or happy, good or bad, Happiness is sadness. Others can't live their lives on their behalf. Those outsiders who seem to be happy and sorrowful are the only ones who are experiencing the painful days, so they are the only one who is qualified to speak. Freedom is this qualification.

Truman finally found the piece of the puzzle he lacked in his heart, but he didn't know how to pursue it. He only knew that Fiji was the dream. Maybe Fiji was his destination for freedom, and he could find Silvia there. , He can go there to see a completely unfamiliar world, he can get rid of the shackles and find a completely different life...

Therefore, the dream of freedom is the real reason that drove Truman to make changes. So when Truman knew that all this was just a lie, what would he feel?

Hugo raised his head and looked at the cookie-cutter streets of Seaside, without any special features, just like a well-made box, ordinary but exquisite, simple but detailed, but strictly wrapped up the whole town. The flawless life makes people breathless, just like the uncle at the dock said, there is no perfection in the world, and once perfection appears, it will suffocate people.

Hugo originally thought that he could feel Truman's mood because he also lived in a "dream state", but later Hugo discovered that it was not like this.

Hugo is now living in a "dreamland", but in this dreamland he completely let go of his hands and feet, enjoying his freedom and dreams to the fullest. He is fully devoted to the torrent of dreams. Among them, he strode forward without complaint, so he realized too many impossible.

He led the glory to death and created his own musical age, reawakening the belief in rock and roll; he became a top actor, not only won two Oscars, but also went further and further on the road of acting; he Owning property that ordinary people can't imagine, even if he stays at home from now on, he will have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life-and it is a very luxurious and wasteful kind; he has a power that others can't reach for a lifetime, making half of Hollywood He will be vibrated by his every move; his global recognition is unsurpassed, and he has almost reached the peak of his reputation; he truly understands the meaning of father's love-including maternal love, and enjoys the affection brought by family Happiness; although the road to love is still long and difficult, he has found the object of true love in his heart, how lucky he is; friendship is his greatest pride, and he has met a large group of sincere partners and walked hand in hand...

If someone awakens Hugo at this time and tells him that all the thoughts in the past few years are just a "dream", then he can wake up without regret. There are regrets, of course, but any happy life will have regrets, which is unavoidable; he may also collapse, because the dream is so real that he can't return to reality, and may even be fragmented and helpless...More There are many possibilities, Hugo will re-adapt to the real life outside of the dream, and truly let go of his hands and feet to enjoy life.

It can be said that Hugo is free, but also realized his dream, especially in this dream.

But Truman is different. If Hugo wants to stay in this dream, then Truman hopes to get rid of the shackles of this dream, spread his wings to embrace freedom, and pursue dreams.

When Truman knew that his life was a scam, all of this was false. What kind of feeling did it feel? My marriage, my job, my love, my friends, my own experience... and even my parents are just a carefully arranged bureau. My whole life is just a piece of text on someone else’s script. Any meaning.

How does it feel?

What’s more terrifying is that not only is my life meaningless, everything is just deliberately arranged, and my life is still a grand "show", becoming a commodity for entertaining the world, as if I were just a joke. , A toy, a puppet, if the words on the script may have a soul, then such a Barbie doll does not have any soul.

But... he has a soul and a thought, he is a living person, a person with autonomous behavior. But not only did he show his entire life in front of the whole world, he was not even allowed to possess his soul. It's terrible, it's terrible... it's even sadder.

My entire life was fragmented in an instant, and if I overreacted, I might even fall into disrepair and be completely destroyed. Just like the "The Matrix" story, not everyone can become the savior. More often, the cruel truth will easily destroy the entire soul, and even have no chance to escape reality and be directly defeated.

Hugo walked slowly on the streets of Seaside, looking at the simple and ordinary fragments of life, he thought: If I were Truman, would I collapse after knowing the truth? This is an unsolvable hypothetical question, and Hugo will never know the answer, because no answer is credible before he has really experienced such a magnificent wave.

In fact, Hugo and Truman still have a lot in common, because both of them are just a link in the entertainment industry chain, a commodity with no vital characteristics, a medium and means to seek profit, and the other is controlled by "God." Controlled doll.

Although Hugo is now at the pinnacle of Hollywood's power and is gradually taking control of his own destiny, in fact, in the eyes of Wall Street bigwigs, Hugo is still just a money tree, still just a priceless commodity, trading And interest is their core goal.

Shirley Lansing’s dedication and focus, Mark Canton’s perseverance and sincerity, Kevin Burns’s friendliness and closeness, Robert Iger’s kindness and humor, including Ron Meyer’s compromise and enthusiasm... stand by The small Hugo from the summit overlooks the mountains. In the eyes of others, he has become the one who gave orders, but in the eyes of these top tycoons, their favor is only because of the interests that Hugo represents behind him. Therefore, they are not friends, but partners.

Or to be more pessimistic ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They are just relationships of interest-a relationship that is stronger than Jin Jian when the interests are booming, and is as thin as a cicada when the interests are withered. Once a certain day, Hugo's career has suffered a failure, or even collapsed, and has no use value, then all the halo and attention now will disappear.

The same is true for Truman. Just like Truman’s name, "Truman Burbank", like the name of the small town of Seaside, Truman Burbank was only a name that appeared on paper on a whim-Chu The literal translation of the door is "real person", real person; while Burbank is the location of the world-renowned media and studio in Los Angeles. In the film, the studio built by the entire program group is in Burbank.

This is the true meaning of Truman's name, without any thoughts, without any ideas...not even meaningful. Ironically, "Trumen" is called Trumen, a real person, but in fact his life is completely false. Everything is just a story written by a screenwriter. He has never really existed before, just a novel or A character, a symbol, and a commodity in a movie or variety show. When the novel is over, the movie is over, and the variety show is terminated, the character will disappear with their disappearance. He is just a "fictional person".
