After watching the movie, "The Truman Show," I can see the irony behind the character names such as, Christof and Truman. First off, I am going to start with the name Christof. If you break down this name it would be "Christ Of." After looking it up, I found that Christ means the anointed one. Anointed means to make sacred. So basically, Christof the character in the movie, creates this imaginary world that revolves around the character Truman. He treats Truman as someone who is sacred and thinks he is protecting Truman by controlling everything and everyone that comes across Truman's path. For instance, when Truman tries to leave the show, Christof decides to control the weather and turns the ocean into a huge storm. The irony behind the name Truman is that if you were to break down this name, it could be "True Man." In the movie, Truman who lives his life on set of the television show, is the only character who is true to himself. Throughout the movie, he shows his true feelings and emotions while everyone one else is acting and playing along for the television show. Furthermore, Truman seeks the truth. By the end of the movie, he notices that everything that happened was really not a coincidence. He noticed all the weird things going on and figured that he was being filmed. For instance, he would catch the crew members talking to each other from listening to the radio. He also, notices how the back of the elevator wasn't a wall.
