It’s a really great movie.

在中国的电影评分网站上

zài | zhōng guó | de | diàn yǐng píng fēn wǎng zhàn | shàng

On China’s movie rating website,

长期获得很高的评分

cháng qī | huò dé | hěn gāo | de | píng fēn

it has maintained a high score for a long time.

我已经看过不止一遍了

wǒ | yǐ jīng | kàn guo | bù zhǐ | yī biàn | le

I have watched it more than once.

楚门过了30年平静的生活

chǔ mén | guò le | 30 nián | píng jìng | de | shēng huó

Truman lived a peaceful life for 30 years,

他突然发现，这世界有些bug

tā | tū rán | fā xiàn | zhè | shì jiè | yǒu xiē | bug

when he suddenly noticed some "bugs" in the world.

真相是，他的生活是一场全程直播的真人秀

zhēn xiàng | shì | tā | de | shēng huó | shì | yī chǎng | quán chéng zhí bō | de | zhēn rén xiù

The truth is, his life is a reality show broadcast live in its entirety.

城市环境都是布景

chéng shì | huán jìng | dōu shì | bù jǐng

The urban environment is all set decorations,

所有人都是演员

suǒ yǒu rén | dōu shì | yǎn yuán

and everyone around him are actors and actresses.

为了不剧透

wèi le | bù | jù tòu

To avoid spoilers,

我就不讲更多剧情内容了

wǒ | jiù | bù jiǎng | gèng duō | jù qíng nèi róng | le

I won’t share more plot details.

这个电影最让我们感慨的是

zhè ge | diàn yǐng | zuì | ràng | wǒ men | gǎn kǎi | de | shì

What strikes us most about this movie is:

我们的世界是不是也是一个“楚门的世界”

wǒ men | de | shì jiè | shì bù shì | yě shì | yī gè | “chǔ mén de shì jiè”

Is our world also a "Truman Show"?

这很有可能

zhè | hěn | yǒu kě néng

It’s quite possible.

我们来看看网友们的短评

wǒ men | lái | kàn kàn | wǎng yǒu men | de | duǎn píng

Let’s take a look at netizens’ short reviews:

每个人都向往自由而不仅仅是安定

měi gè rén | dōu | xiàng wǎng | zì yóu | ér | bù jǐn jǐn | shì | ān dìng

Everyone yearns for freedom, not just stability.

楚门之外的世界，又会有怎么样的窥探？

chǔ mén | zhī wài | de | shì jiè | yòu | huì | yǒu | zěn me yàng | de | kuī tàn？

What kind of prying will there be in the world outside Truman’s?

最怕的是，我们永远无法求证自己身处在哪个世界。

zuì pà | de | shì | wǒ men | yǒng yuǎn | wú fǎ | qiú zhèng | zì jǐ | shēn chǔ | zài | nǎ ge | shì jiè。

The scariest thing is that we can never prove which world we are in.

再虚无的美好也无法困住自由的心灵

zài | xū wú | de | měi hǎo | yě | wú fǎ | kùn zhù | zì yóu | de | xīn líng

No matter how illusory the beauty is, it can never trap a free soul.

假如生活欺骗了你，也要鼓起勇气做回自己

jiǎ rú | shēng huó | qī piàn | le | nǐ | yě | yào | gǔ qǐ | yǒng qì | zuò huí | zì jǐ

If life deceives you, still summon the courage to be yourself.

你无法在我的脑子里安上摄像头

nǐ | wú fǎ | zài | wǒ | de | nǎo zi | lǐ | ān shàng | shè xiàng tóu

You can’t install a camera in my mind.

逃离已知世界的勇气令人敬佩

táo lí | yǐ zhī | shì jiè | de | yǒng qì | lìng rén | jìng pèi

The courage to escape the known world is admirable.

我决定把这部电影归到我的恐怖片范畴

wǒ | jué dìng | bǎ | zhè bù | diàn yǐng | guī dào | wǒ | de | kǒng bù piàn | fàn chóu

I’ve decided to categorize this movie as a horror film.

这片真正的反派不是导演 而是电视机前的你我他

zhè piàn | zhēn zhèng | de | fǎn pài | bù shì | dǎo yǎn | ér shì | diàn shì jī | qián | de | nǐ wǒ tā

The real villain of this film isn’t the director, but you, me, and everyone in front of the TV.

你如何证明，你不是另一个楚门呢？

nǐ | rú hé | zhèng míng | nǐ | bù shì | lìng yī gè | chǔ mén | ne？

How do you prove that you’re not another Truman?
