The Truman Show

The Truman Show
The life that Truman Burbank lived was real. The people were real, the grass was real and the air was real. Just like in a "real life". The things he experienced were all real, even if they were actors, they were still real to him. Therefore, yes the life the Truman Burbank lived was just as real as any one of our lives.

The life that Truman lived was real on many levels. There were real friendships that Truman and his friends had, they shared real memories and had real fun. Just like any other friendship does. Even if the actors were just acting their role, they still had to act on him. He does not have a script, so they don’t know what they will have to do or say because they don’t know what Truman will do. So they will have to think about what they want to say or how they want to react, just like regular people do in a conversation.

Another thing that makes it real is that he thinks it is real. He doesn’t know that it is all a set and his "friends" are actors. He thinks that everything is just like a normal person’s life. He thinks that he goes to school with his friends, and he is getting an education to further his career and be a successful human being. He will wake up, get ready, drive in his car and go to work. Just like any of us or our families do. He thinks just the same as anybody else would.

The thing that makes Truman Burbank’s life real was the fact that he experienced real life situations. He went though his father’s death, or what he thought was his death. He went through work and school. He had to buy his food like any other member of society. He goes to sleep at a certain time and wakes up at a certain time. He lives his life like any other human being does or did.

In conclusion, I believe that yes, Truman Burbank did live a real life. Everything that surrounded him was real. He had real friends that he had. He went through real life experiences just like any other person with a real life does. He thinks everything that anyone else does. He has goals, dreams and ambitions just like other people do, in their "real" lives. He has real feelings just like other people do and he thinks like other people do. Therefore, Truman Burbank did live a real life just like anyone else.
