The Truman Show

Place: Wildcat Lanes, 415 W. Verona Ave., Verona, WI - look for the signs or ask for the banquet room.  Drinks and food available for purchase.

Date/Time: Sunday, Oct. 19, 6:30 PM (right after the Packers game)

What's showing?  The Truman Show - View the trailer below.

What are we discussing?

Where to start?  The first time I saw this movie, I had somehow remained ignorant of the show's premise or and had not seen the trailer.  Early in the movie when the stage light fell from the sky, I was clueless along with Truman Burbank.  Since then this film's been a gem for discussion questions like: 

• Is Truman's experience and "awakening" parallel to our own existence?
  
• Is Truman better or worse after his awakening?
  
• Are human beings controlled by their environment?
  
• Is Christof and the network similar to God?
  

And that doesn't even touch the free will / determinism themes.  Should be a fun inaugural meeting.
