``The Truman Show'' The Truth is hidden! A world full of schemes

``The Truman Show'' and Flat Earth Theorists
The Truman Show depicts the world of reality shows, but at the same time, it also deals with the theme of conspiracy theories , a phenomenon that is widespread in the United States. I was able to understand the continuity of these themes when I watched the Netflix documentary Behind the Curve. The film interviews people who claim that the Earth is not round, but flat. When explaining what it means for the Earth to be flat, a man who advocates the flat Earth theory gives the example of the dome-shaped structure that appears in The Truman Show. The man says that the two are similar. "If the set in the movie was thousands of kilometers in scale, how many people do you think it could fool?"

Flat Earth theorists say that the flat Earth is shaped like a food tray with a dome-shaped lid on top. If you continue straight through the ocean, you will eventually reach the edge of the world (where there is a wall of ice where you will fall if you go any further). I can't help but be impressed by the richness of his imagination, but this explanation is exactly the same as the setting and story development of `` The Truman Show The Truman Show '' (note that this story appears around the 74th minute of the movie). The miniature model of a dome-shaped building and the model of the Earth created by flat-Earth theorists are so similar that they can be said to be completely identical.)
They claim that The Truth that the Earth is flat is being hidden by the government and NASA. It seems that flat earthers are working every day to make people aware of the hidden The Truth. In any case, there is no doubt that ``The Truman Show'' played a role in fostering their powerful imaginations.
