#4 "Seahaven is the way the world is supposed to be"

I don't think it's right to control someone to see how they turn out. Life shouldn't be "perfect". Life is supposed to come with obstacles and challenges to shape you to be the person you are today. They make you able to deal with things better, control your emotions, etc. If Truman knew that he was being watched and controlled he wouldn't be the same person and do the things he did. 
There were different opinions on The Truman Show in the film. The people who weren't getting paid to act in it watched it but I don't think they necessarily approved of what Christof was doing. They were on Truman's side yet everyone who was in the show had to pretend to be on Truman's side but they were actually all against him. It shows you how easily people can fall into a trap and how addicted people are to the media. People on the outside world watched The Truman Show 24/7 but half of them didn't even like it. They watched it because they had to see what was going to happen next or because their friends and family watched it. The point is don't get too connected to something that's not real.
