Everyone of us is living in a world which was presented. We can follow or change it. That's all up to you. If you can realize and have enough courage to break through. The whole life will be different. 

2、Find three points that most touching or what you think is the most important details(conversation、picture or plot).

A/ It's unbelievable that Trumen is the only real person who live on the island. All the others are actors and actresses. For the past 30 years, Truman have been known by the whole world,  but he knew nothing. It is not a real world, but is that a perfect world for Truman? Actually, all of us are living the life which is arranged, is that good for us? Can we live our own life and not influenced by others? Do we brave enough to live the life we love?

B/ Truman sailed yacht to leave the island for his dreaming first love girl. That feeling is real for him, though at that time he didn't believe what she told him. But gradually, he began to doubt what really happening around him. The girl gave him hope and power. For common people, like us, we also can seek power from dream. Pursuing the dream.

C/ Finally, Truman sailed through storm and lightning, even facing death, he didn't change his mind to find the exit to leave the island which designed for TV programm.
