[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 4631359, member: 56035"] spoiler alert, i rewatched truman show last night. truman's life is largely under control to profit off of him. there is prevalent commercialism in it and it makes it artificial. there are clues for him that his world is BS just like in our world. as he approaches the end of his journey it becomes increasingly clear his world is BS. the director of the show tries to kill truman with an artificial storm, but the director's employees become increasingly uncomfortable with his orders. this is similar to what happens in revolutoins and why non violent civil disobedience works because the military stops following the ruler's orders. the horizon is not endless but a painted wall which he crashes into. he walks next to the painted wall seemingly on water. there are stairs in the wall which lead to an exit door. the matrix trilogy ended similarily as well as it became clear the matrix was fake as it only consisted of smiths, and the matrix was breaking down as the computer screen was glitching. these 2 movies give the western world's citizens a glimpse into our own predicament. we are controlled by their lies, so they can profit off of us. if we resist in many cases they will try and kill us.
