Depressed afterthought
After watching this classic old movie.
There is always some depression and heaviness in our hearts, because we unconsciously wonder if we also live in the Truman world.
Are our lives actually arranged by others?
Are we independent individuals that truly exist in this world, rather than "pets" raised by the powerful?
Are we being watched and watched like pets?
This movie gave the audience a lot of thinking, and I believe my friends also have their own opinions.
