The Truman Show:
Symbols
- The Sea
- confinement
- it is so vast, so broad, and Truman can not go over, above or in it
- Freedom
- the way “out”. It’s an escape, a way to
vanish from this world.
- further represented through
Truman’s dreams as a youth to
be an explorer, and despite
Christof’s manipulations, this
dreams never appears to die.
- Ability to evade Christof’s
attempts at total control.
- Recreation of Sylvia's face
- Chest hidden in Truman's basement.
- Bridges
- represent the way out, but their length and being over
water represents confinement - they offer only a long and
difficult escape route.
- Others a simply a dead end - no
chance of escape at all.
