What educators are saying
I needed something to keep my students hands busy while we watched the movie and this was just the ticket for my late afternoon class. It helped them focus while they watched and pointed out enough key details so I could gauge that they were paying attention.
Great movie with so many lessons. I was surprised by how many students were unfamiliar with Truman. Great activities.
Description
The Truman Show is a satirical science fiction film about a man whose entire world is a TV show. Truman doesn't know it, but his entire life - his wife, his best friend, his job - is all part of a staged set in his created world of Seahaven. The show is broadcast 24/7 around the globe, with fans addicted to the show and the "innocence" of Truman.
It's an interesting look at modern society's addiction and love of reality TV shows!
