1. 트루먼의 진실 찾기, <트루먼 쇼>
In the film The Truman Show, Truman Burbank is an ordinary guy. Nothing about him is special including his career. In reality, however, he lives a fake life. Since his birth, he has been a star. He is being watched on TV by millions of people around the world. He lives in a house with hidden cameras inside a huge geodesic dome studio.
- geodesic: 측지선의, 지름길의
People such as his friends and coworkers are actors and actresses. Even the weather, including the ocean waves, is artificial. Truman does not know his true identity. Near the end of the movie, he finds his surroundings, along with certain people and places, suspicious.
- along with: ...에 덧붙여, ...와 마찬가지로, ...와 함께, ...에 따라
The movie conveys an important message to viewers.
- convey STH (to SB): 생각/감정 등을 (누군가에게) 전달하다
cf. convey SB/STH (from A) (to B): 누군가/무언가를 (A로부터) (B로) 실어 나르다, 운반/수송하다
The main character represents ordinary people like us. He is exploited by the media. As audiences, people are manipulated by media such as television and newspapers. Therefore, we get a narrow view of society on many issues because of our limited amount of information and knowledge.
- get a view of: ...을 보다
