Truman Show

We've become tired of watching actors give us phony emotions, bored with pyrotechnics and special effects.
While the world he inhabits is counterfeit, there's nothing fake about Truman himself. No scripts, no cue cards. It's not always Shakespeare but it's genuine.

1-Have we reached this point in our "entertainment experience"; where we are tired of the fake and need the "real"?
I believe that these days are really based on "real" things. We've seen a lot of animated movies and a lot of movies that would never happen in reality and I belive that people like to watch movies that are real and show things that really do happen. This movie shows us how fake a world can be and it makes us realize that we want to live in a real worl and we want reality to be part of our lives instead of living fake lives.

2-With films like Avatar- using completely created characters, 3D animation, CGI, etc.- is there a point where we, like Truman, can no longer believe the created reality?
I think that people obviously know that Avatar is a fake and animated movie and in my point of view I dont really get interested in animated movies such as Avatar. I'm not intereted in these types of movies just because I like movies that can actualy happen in reality because sometimes they do teach very good lessons about life. I don't think anyone shouldn't belive in the created reality because the truman show was just a movie, it showed us how to beleive in reality instead of "fake" things.
