The Essay on Hollywood Film Films Movie Special
Despite the fact that Hollywood films are popular all over the world, many believe that foreign films are better. Critics' dislike of Hollywood films' is due to the straight-line plots of the films in which nothing is left unclear, unsettling or unexplained and every shot is justified by a link to strictest cause and effect. Hollywood films are often viewed as dulling the mind. In this country ...
EVIDENCE: “Hi Christof, I’d like to say one thing. You’re a liar and a manipulator and what you’ve done to Truman is sick.”
EXPLAIN: When The Truman Show was bought on about the news, and they news channel got a chance to talk to Christof they were accepting calls from all the viewers, and Sylvia called and was the only one who argued and stood up for Christof, even though everyone knew who she was, she continued to press on about freeing Truman, and what Christof was doing was complete wrong.
EXPLAIN: Even though other callers were shown to have called on the actual movie, no one else stood up for Truman. She watches him every day and every night just like every other viewer around the world, but because she has actually been in the dome, lived there, met him, talked to him, tried to save him from his false reality, she feel’s that much stronger about the topic and Truman himself.
LINK: In a major way this proves how strongly Sylvia still cares for Truman even after being taken off the show for trying to expose the truth behind the lies.
Paragraph 2)
TOPIC SENTENCE: Though Sylvia was the one person who cared the MOST she was not alone.
EVIDENCE/EXPLAIN: Sylvia was indeed a person who had the most feelings towards Truman and that was because of her experience of living in the dome, but there were others who cared about him, and they were the audience in the movie. All through the 30 years or so of Truman’s life they have been watching him, and they have grown accustom to his presence on their TV screens. Some people could have grown emotionally attached to him, they were hooked on this reality TV show.
Some people, such as Sylvia, were apart of a campaign, a campaign called “”Free Truman,” these were the people who cared about Truman’s well being, they wanted him to be free and live a normal human life just like every one else. Because Truman was such a “TRUE MAN” it made peoples passion to free him that much stronger, he wasn’t fake in the least, all his tears cried were real, his laughter was genuine. It’s just as the conversation went at the end of both The Truman Show and the movie between Christof and Truman;
“Was nothing real?” – Truman
“You were real. That’s what made you so good to watch.” – Christof.

Andre Parfeniuk Student # 10260974 December 3, 2001 The Impact of Dziga Vertov on Film " The main and essential thing is : the sensory exploration of the world through film. We therefore take as a point of departure the use of the camera as a keno-eye, more perfect than the human eye, for the exploration of the chaos of visual phenomena that fills space." - Dziga Vertov , Manifesto The Council of ...
LINK: Creating a campaign that most joined and cared so dearly about just proved how much the audience in the movie cared.
Paragraph 3)
TOPIC SENTENCE: People in The Truman Show movie were not the only ones who cared about Truman, ‘we’ has the audience cared also.
EVIDENCE:
“All the onscreen viewers knew the whole deal was orchestrated from the start, as did ‘we’
They all knew the product placements were ads, as did ‘we’.
-They all knew about OmniCam, as did ‘we’.
-They all cared about Truman and wanted him to success, as did ‘we’.
-They all knew Truman wanted to get out, as did ‘we’.
-They all knew Truman’s father was a lie in that whole reunion scene, but got just as emotional as ‘we’.
-They all knew how sincere Marlon’s “Would I lie to you?” was, as did ‘we’”
EXPLAIN: Everything was planned about the reality TV show through Christof, even though we knew this and expected some of the things to happen, it was still a surprise to see it actually happen. But for the whole of the movie, Truman and other characters went through different situations and where Truman was effected we felt strongly for him, as did the audience in the movie.
LINK: It was not just Sylvia who cared about Truman, but also we as an audience and the audience in the movie itself.
CONCLUSION: Sylvia is not the only person who cared about Truman, but she is one of the people who indeed cared the most. This was due to her time in the dome living under all Christof’s rules and regulations, meeting Truman face to face and sharing special moments with him. The audience in the movie also cared enough about him to make a campaign to try and free Truman of this inhuman crime, and just as the audience felt passion for Truman so did we as an audience watching the whole movie.
