13、： 30 年前奥姆尼康电视制作公司收养了一名婴儿，他们刻意培养他使其成为全球最受欢迎的纪实性肥皂剧楚门的世界中的主人公，公司为此取得了巨大的成功。然而这一切却只有一人全然不知，他就是该剧的唯一主角楚门。楚门从小到大一直生活在一座叫桃源岛的小城（实际上是一座巨大的摄影棚） ，他是这座小城里的一家保险公司的经纪人，楚门看上去似乎过着与常人完全相同的生活，但他却不知道生活中的每一秒钟都有上千部摄像机在对着他，每时每刻全世界都在注视着他，更不知道身边包括妻子和朋友在内的所有人都是楚门的世界的演员。虽然感觉到每个人似乎都很注意他，而且从小到大所做的每一件事却都有着一些意想不到的戏剧性的效果，但这些都没有
14、使这位天性淳朴的小伙子太过于在意。可节目的制作组由于一时的疏忽，竟让在楚门小时候因他而“死”的“父亲”再次露面， “父亲”立即被工作人员带走，直到楚门悲痛万分开始怀疑后他们编织了一个完美的谎言让他们“父子”相见，从而达到他们满意的效果。多年前一位既是楚门的世界的忠实观众又是该节目群众演员的年轻姑娘施维亚十分同情楚门，楚门对她一见钟情。她给了楚门一些善意的暗示，自己却被强行带离片场。回忆起施维亚的楚门开始重新认识自己的生活。渐渐地楚门发现他工作的公司每一个人都在他出现后才开始真正的工作，他家附近的路上每天都有相同的人和车在反复来往，更让他不敢相信的是，自称是医生并每天都去医院工作的妻子竟不是医生
15、。楚门开始怀疑他所生活的这个世界，包括他妻子、朋友、父亲等所有的人都在骗他，一种发自内心的恐惧油然而生。痛定思痛，他决定不惜一切代价逃出海景这个令他噤若寒蝉的小城，去寻找属于自己真正的生活和真正爱他的人。然而，楚门却低估了集这个肥皂剧的制作人、导演和监制大权于一身的克里斯托弗的力量。克里斯托弗将一切都设计得近乎完美，近 30 年里牢牢地把楚门控制在海景的超现实世界之中。经过几次逃脱的努力失败后，楚门决定从海上离开这座小城，然而他却绝望地发现他面前的大海和天空竟然也是这个巨大摄影棚的一部分，这时克里斯托弗在天上巨大的控制室里向楚门讲述了事情的来龙去脉，并告诉楚门他如今已经是世界上最受欢迎的明星，
16、他今天所取得的一切是常人无法想象的，如果他愿留在海景就可继续明星生活，楚门不为所动，毅然走向远方的自由之路。推荐理由： 一则荒诞无稽的人生寓言，一部颠覆人们世界观电影，对惟利是图、的社会现象的强烈讽刺，激励人心、发人省思的黑色喜剧，以讽刺的手法向人们展示了被媒体渗透了的世界，力地批判了“媒体万能”的价值观，用类似“乌托邦”的虚拟的完美世界寓意着“笼中鸟”式的生存悲哀。楚门的世界是一部与众不同、创意十足的电影，内容发人省思,感人肺腑，同时也有令人会心一笑的幽默。喜剧天王金凯瑞在片中的演出纯真中又有复杂的个性，他抛开了一切束缚，他在一贯的喜剧表演方式下流露出令人动容的感情，尽管他的表演尚未得到奥斯卡评委的青睐，但他至少已经征服了大部分普通观众。影片的成功向世人证明了谁才是真正的喜剧之王尽管目前还只是“无冕之王” 。总的来看，这绝对是部有笑有泪的好影片。n
