Question 3 - 5. “There is no more truth out there than in this created world.” This quote was said by the shows director just before Truman left the dome. What point do you think he was trying to make?
The director is trying to say that in our reality, or what we believe is reality, people lie, cheat and put up illusions as much as a world in which the entire population is actors. Everyone is always putting on a face, pretending to be someone they are not. He wants to explain to Truman, that there is no escape from lies and deciet. No one is completely honest and truthful and that is something that is true in every reality we are presented with. Honesty itself is an illusion, how can someone be truly honest without even knowing themselves what they really think. Often people fool their own minds to think one way, when the truth is, deep down they feel another way about something. Sometimes the person doesn't even realise themselves that what they say is a lie. Not to mention, we only know thinks shallowly, we do not truly know everything we say is true. We believe it is true, but if you say to someone, "I met this beautiful lady the other day." That person may seem beautiful to you, but maybe to others she is not. Or, "Tom is not a liar" perhaps you do not believe that person is a liar, but they may be. Lies are everywhere, and that is just the way the world is, so is a world filled with actors, told to follow certain roles, really all that different from a world where everyone is putting on a different face?
