INTRODUCCIÓN
El objetivo en este trabajo es aplicar a una película las teorías aprendidas sobre información y comunicación. El primer problema al que hay que afrontarse cuando se decide realizar este trabajo es qué película será el objeto de nuestro análisis. Yo afronté este problema siguiendo el siguiente criterio: encontrar una película donde pudiera aplicar de forma clara las teorías aprendidas en clase y que no se tratase ni de una película que me disgustase, ya que entonces me resultaría imposible trabajar con ella, pero que tampoco fuese una película que me encantase porque temía acabar saturada de ella. Escogí El Show de Truman porque un día haciendo zapping vi la mitad de la película, y sin darme cuenta estaba intentando ver y aplicar las teorías que habíamos estado dando en clase. A continuación expongo paso por paso un análisis sobre los usos de la información y de la comunicación en El Show de Truman.

El rasgo final es que como hay algo crónico en esta historia. Como del principio del accidente hasta el final cuando muere, hay mucha suspensión, pero dar cosas en listas que ayuda a los lectores. Esta disque lista es buena para ver fácilmente que esta pasando y entender la historia mas. Como entendemos los problemas interior y exterior con todas las imágenes, todo esta en una estructura que queda como un rompe cabeza. Todo esta organizado bien y fluye las historia con la drama.
Elena Poniatowska escrita durante una epoca de cambio en Mexico. Antes de sus obras las mujeres mexicanas eran sometidos, docil, y pasivo. En la tiempo de sus obras las mujeres estaba tratando salir de los estereotipos de antes. Esta problema social tomo un afecto en Elena. Aunque ella no viene de un movimiento literatura directamente, ella escrita con el concepto de compremetido. En su narrative El Recado ella crea un mujer estereotipical que no puede controlar sus emociones. La titula es eso porque ella viene a ver su amante, pero el no esta, asi ella escribe las cosas que sentia. La perspectiva es de un personaje y ella nunca interacta con otros personajes. En facto la unica descripcion de un personaje otro de la protagonista es de su amante Martin. Habla de otros personajes, pero solamente de sus acciones. Porque ellas es la unica perspectiva que tenemos es sencillo a sentar compasion para una protagonista de quien nombre no aun sabemos. Ella da la descripcion de toda que vea, y mas importante todo que se sienta. Tambien tropos y figuras retoricas dan un tono significante al poema. Estos sentimientos de la portagonista y el tono emocional de la narrativa transporta una tema de una mujer estereotipical y debil quien quiere ser reconocido.
In this first stage of cognition, the cave dweller is shackled and can only see shadows of figures on the wall in front of him. His reality is based on his imagination of these figures. “To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.” Similarly, Truman’s reality is based on this imaginary world where his parents, wife, and everyone else around him are hired actors. Early in the film Truman seems to be happy although he is already starting to imagine himself in Fiji which he points out is the furthest place from Seahaven.
Thus, when he saw a light fall from the sky and he heard the director’s voice on the radio, Truman began to become suspicious. He remembered Lauren, an actress who had told him that it was just a TV show and so, he went to find her. He travelled across the sea, talked to Christof and then climbed a flight of stairs in the sky, escaping into the outside world. Unbeknownst to him, Truman Burbank's whole life has been the subject of a hugely popular 24-hour-per-day television show entitled “The Truman Show” (Propagandee, 2012).
The movie, 'The Truman Show' is about a reality television show that has been created to document the life of a man who, adopted at birth by a television network, is tricked into believing that his life, his reality, is normal and the environment that he lives is real. It is set in a town called Seahaven, which is essentially a simulation of the real world similar enough to the outside world that the viewing audience can relate to it. The town is a television studio inside an enormous dome in which the weather, the sun, the sky, and all the actions of the citizens are directed by a team of special effects people. The entire show is directed and produced by the creator of the show, Christof. Truman Burbank, the star of the show, is the only one who doesn't know that he lives in a giant studio and is surrounded by an illusion of reality. The entire world watches Truman's movements twenty four hours a day, seven days a week through the use of thousands of miniature hidden cameras.
The human tendency to assume and stereotype is one of our most detrimental habits. In his piece, The Last to See Them Alive, Truman Capote tries to challenge this natural routine by presenting a dichotomous picture of a village in Western Kansas. He goes through the different aspects of said village and guides us alongside him on his quest to finding the truth. What will we find out? And does Capote finally achieve his goal?
How does Weir/Ross demonstrate that a world controlled by the media can only be dystopian in nature.
When Truman comes out of his house we realise that through the use of an extreme long shot and low angle shot that the houses are perfectly the same and white picket fences represent that we are in 1950’s America culture. The way that Truman dresses also indicates that he is of a middle class world. The most important feature about this film is that Truman does not know that he has been filmed and also is surrounded by actors who formulate the Truman Show. The thin...
In The Truman Show, Omnicam Corporation selects and adopts Truman Burbank out of six of the unwanted newborns to star in a show, directed by Christof. The Truman Show broadcasts Truman's life which he initially is not aware of. The town of Seahaven is a television set enclosed, with built in special effects and is populated by actors making it realistic. As Truman begins to clue in on the show, his life begins to unravel. Unable to escape the set of Seahaven, Truman begins to search for the answers and goes on a quest to discover the truth about his identity. The central theme of The Truman Show is identity, which is clearly shown through Truman’s character development, the movie’s setting and . Curiosity can be
Imagine what it would be like to live in a "Perfect" world. "The Truman Show" is a movie where Truman Burbank is born and raised in a television set. His family and friends are all actors. His life is all being controlled and directed by Christof. He is being recorded and watched by millions of people 24/7. This movie is also known to give examples of existentialism such as, existence precedes essence, Truman being given a purpose by Chirstof, , fear, Truman comes to the realization and goes mad, and freedom, when Truman makes his own decisions.
From John Wayne and the western motif to William Shatner and the science fiction motif, Hollywood has been obsessed with the notion of frontier, taking this notion from an American ideology that encourages men to forge ahead into the unknown. Often, though, it seems these men are more running away from society than really running to the unknown. And in The Truman Show, that is what Truman is truly doing- running to the unknown in order to escape the responsibilities of his current life. Thus The Truman Show, which looks to be a hip postmodern film about subjectivity, is actually a modernist film tying into the frontier metanarrative in which society represents a binding world, and the frontier embodies the male escapist fantasy of no responsibility.
Exploitation is central to Marxist analysis, 1 which makes it an ideal angle through which to view The Truman Show; the extras, main cast and members of the studio are unlike Truman, in that they have a choice. They are handsomely compensated for their hours2, but they sacrifice their daily lives to live a 'fake” life under strict control of perfectionist director Christof.3 Thus in essence they sell their life experience for financial gain. The ultimate exploitation, of course, is ...
On the surface, The Truman Show is an entertaining drama of a heartless human experiment. But if you look a bit deeper many thought-provoking questions arise: What is freedom? Are you still free if you are being manipulated and controlled by others? How do you become truly free? As the main character, Truman Burbank, confronts these questions, the writers invite the viewer to ponder the meaning of freedom, the effects of manipulation and the steps to discovering true freedom.
Truman displays great zeal for life like a lunatic, but he discovers that his life was not real. He then goes on, with the same, undying fanaticism to investigate the living hell that was once his happy life. In his methods, he embodies the Socratic virtues of courage and temperance as he lunges forth like a great tiger somewhere in Africa. He then finds wisdom by realizing the truth, and deciding to leave the comfortable fake-world for the uncertain real world. The cast lacks the courage and the wisdom to tell Truman the truth, the director has all three but in all the wrong ways, and the audience lacks the wisdom to know that by not watching the show they free Truman, lacks the temperance for indulging on the show every day, and lacks the courage to do something more productive with their lives in the time they spend watching the Truman Show. The audience chooses to live in that world over their own, and some grow enough obsession to delude themselves by favoring Truman’s world and living as if they are on the
One of the major differences between the film and the novel is the depiction of the delusional image of reality. However, it still manages to bring forth the dystopian image of both their Utopian societies. In The Truman Show, life is a real life play in an environment that provides comfortable lifestyle and happiness at the cost of reality. The producer of The Truman Show, Christof states, “We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented”. This message is the underlying theme in the story and as such, will foreshadow Truman’s acceptance of a delusional reality in the film. Meanwhile, in the film everyone except for Truman is acting and not living an authentic life. There is no sense of “real”; no real affinity, no secrecy, and no faith, all of which Truman is blindly unawar...
