Maybe so, but does that really make the architect of it all an Evil/wicked person?

See, the Truman Show is also an allegory of childhood, with Christof the Parent and all the actors as other the adults. It is the job of the parent to provide the best living situation for the Child. Do we always? Goddess knows *I've* tried, but my grown children still have some complaints.

Did I profit from it? Well, not always monetarily, yet I do feel the richer for the life and experiences…

When I was a child, did I like everything about my life? No, not everything. I yearned for more and freedoms. Just as Truman did. Yet there are days I'd love to go back to having someone else be the "umbrella" from all of life's rain and drizzles…

And I certainly don't—well, no longer—view my parents as villains… and I can only hope my children do and will feel the same someday. :P
