       The way everything starts in the world is like a process or cycle. Either you did something wrong and you are chosen or it was just bad luck like many say but then again some say there is no such thing as luck. Or like most, you decide to listen to what others tell you or teach you. As for Truman his way was to find freedom, truth and happiness. He did realize everything wasn't as it seemed until later he understood, so he found freedom at last.
        As for Christoff stating this in an interview that "he would have given Truman the chance for him to lead a normal life. The world, the place you live in, is the sick place. Seahaven is the way the world should be." In my opinion Christoff is incorrect because if you realize Truman already started to become awake of his own surroundings and how mostly he spotted coincidences. Everyone thought he was crazy but he wasn't. Now if Christoff thinks the world we live in is "sick" then why was Truman behaving "sick" or "crazy" in Seahaven. Also would you think he cared. I don't think so since he said that "it would be good for the ratings" when he was controlling him anyways. Also do you realize he said the word "chance" in the interview, meaning that Truman already could have left anytime and maybe because Christoff didn't want to put all the blame on himself since a person was confronting him with the questions.
         I also do not think that there aren't any benefits in Seahaven where Truman was supposedly the "star". Christoff does say that "the place you live in is the sick place, Seahaven is the way to go". but I think Seahaven is just as the same as the real world. There is almost no difference. People will watch what they see and follow it. Christoff is right that the world is a sick place but he says this to create confusion and a defense for Seahaven.  But if Seahaven was the way to go like he said then Truman would not have wanted to move to Fiji. As also Christoff tries to manipulate and make him think using a tool that Truman is the "star" of the show but he really isn't and Truman realizes this. The only benefit here would be for Christoff since it would be good for his "ratings". Who wouldn't want to be a star but deep down why would you want to be under control from someone else for their own benefit!
       As for Truman starting to analyze all that he encounters I think of my parallel in my own life that has changed the way I process the world. Of course not that I think I'm being recorded but of what we are told on TV. The way we should behave. Or the way we are told who our enemy is but when we go there to confront the "enemy" we find nothing! And many other things we don't know. I guess when you are a kid especially it is easy to become brainwashed but when I started to wake up like Truman I was wandering to myself why live anymore or is there another planet, land or country(Fiji) with no networks, greedy corporations that want to handle us for their own agenda or ratings.
