Like the poem, the movie “The Giver” and the movie “The Truman Show”. Both of these stories also depict a loss of reality. The Giver depicts how the government can obscure the truth about things, even making society lose color. This dystopian story shows how to avoid conflict the government made everyone the same, however overtime it is revealed to the main character that there was once a totally different society (like ours today) and he sets off to restore the memories to every one of the past societies. The Truman Show on the other hand is a movie about Truman, and his discovery that his entire life has been a live TV production with everyone around him being actors except for him. This movie shows how he eventually realizes nothing is truly real in his town and his journey to escape. Both of these stories show how the loss of reality did not happen all at once, but overtime. For The Giver, this loss occurred over generations with even the government officials in the movie not realizing it until the memories are restored. Meanwhile in The Truman Show this loss of reality started with his birth, as everything he had ever known was given to him by the TV program and manipulated.
