e). When Truman began to suspect his life and decided to find the truth,everyone tried to confuse him and stop him,even his wife ,his mother,his best friend and his "dead" beloved father.All of them were just lying to him.Every individual has the right to know the truth of his own life.What the people in the show did to him is inhumane.
a). When Truman was born,he was chosen by the creator,who totally controlled his life.This is against humanism.The creator deprived of Truman's right of choosing his own way of life. Truman was not a free citizen from his birth.
g).Truman's tragic life has something to do with the audience of this show.Imagine that if no one is interested in others' privacy,namely, no one will see this movie,and maybe Truman can be free earlier.This also reveals that human beings aret want others to know their privacy while they have great curiosity about others' privacy,which makes this true man show a big success.
b). The creator of this show robbed Truman of his right for free love,which is also inhumane.Truman did not love the girl arranged for him;while at that time he was not brave enough to fight against the destiny controlled by the creator,and thus he lost his true love.

h).Besides Truman,all the actors,audience ,including the creator himself are victims of this true man show.Because they almost spend all their time on this show,they have lost their own life.Not knowing the truth,Truman is enjoying his life,while others sacrifice their time on Truman's life,which is also very , to some extent,even more miserable than Truman.

watched by million's of people for 24 hours every day,which is against his privacy right as a citizen.

A). Symbolism in this movie B).Humanism and humanity in this movie
The island Truman lives on is like the Garden of Eden: ※ The island is a "perfect" place to live in ※ People living in this island have no fear and also they have no choice for their own life ※ The creator is like the God and he controls every thing ※ Just like Adam and Eve ,if you want to be free from this place,you have to pay a price
Sylvia symbolizes Satan in the Eden.Like Satan,she persuades Truman to leave this "Eden".She is looked on as an evil by the "God"---the creator.
Symblism of the darkness in the exit of this huge "studio".
