The Truman Show

Entertainment is the supraideology of all discourse on Television. Even news shows are a format for entertainment, not for education. The most important fact about television is that people watch it. American televisions devoted entirely to supplying its audience with entertainment and commercial. The problem is not that television presents us with entertaining subject matter but that all subject matter is presented as entertaining.

This main point of film is commercial. As the book said that the most important things in the television is all about commercial. The television screen itself is so saturated with our memories of profane events, so deeply associated with the commercials and entertainments. It also wants you to remember that its imagery is always available for your amusement and pleasure. What post man trying to say is television are attracting us through out the music to build out our emotion then later on it will make us feel we want the things that we have seen. Commercial is all about the Images even though the images of movie stars and famous athletes tell nothing about the products being sold. But they tell everything about the fancies and dreams of those who might buy them, in the other word; they are trying to catch people's attention. The show and Postman trying to get us to be aware that watching television, we may easily become absorbed in the program. In the show we can discover many of the products getting advertising, for example, clothes, foods, drinks, electronics and everything.

Movie is trying to show that the consequences may be that a person who has already seen one million TV commercials might well believe that all political problems have fast solutions through simple measures. The main solution is we really have to stand up to the manipulators of television and news if we want to protect ourselves from the absurdity and falsehood that now surrounds us at every turn.
