"The Truman Show" is a "perfect world" that was created by Cristoff for Truman. Truman lived in his world without any problems because everything was a set. People enjoyed watching Truman's life day after day and Truman didn't realize. When he felt something was wrong about his life since the same situations happened every day, he tried to figure out what was going on. All his efforts didn't work because no one would answer his questions; not even his best friend. So, he took a risk of chance to escape from the island by sailing a boat. At that moment, he was so happy about being free. But a big storm followed him and he fought until he failed. He was surprised that he end up in a place without the sky and ocean. Then he found out the truth that he was in a set and his world was not the real world. Cristoff asked him if he could stay in this world to live "happily ever after," he walked away without any question because finally he knew the truth.
Truman chose to leave because he didn't want to be controlled any more. He wanted to be free and to made his own choices by himself. Same as Truman, I would not choose to live in Cristoff's world because his world is too perfect to believe; even Truman doubted it. Everyone there acts happy to make Truman happy. For example, Truman's wife always smiles when she faces to him and talks to him, but when she turns around her face changes. Those acts are such big lies. In fact, there is no such thing as a human being who is 100% perfect. In our society, problems will always exist, such as fighting, arguing, poverty and crimes. I believe Cristoff tried to avoid all the problems that exist in our reality, and that's why he created a "perfect" world for Truman. Truman was controlled without the right to know the truth or to make his own decisions since his birth. A good example would be when he tried to go to Figi many times, but failed because everyone there stopped him. In my opinion, in Cristoff's world, there is nothing good for Truman except the act of a peaceful island.
Before Truman walked through the door to leave Cristoff's world, Cristoff asked him to say something. And he said good morning, good afternoon, and good evening with the smile he always made. Everyone loved his innocent smile. When he goes to the real world he will face a lot of problems that he'd never had before. Perhaps he has to find a job to make a living, people might not nice to him anymore, and a thief might hit him, grab his cell, and run away one day. Any problems that might happen in our normal lives will happen in his life too. He needs to solve all the problems and face all the challenges on his own. Although it will be difficult for him, I still believe he had made a good choice to leave the fake world.
