The show is based on Truman and his "real" life as they put it. His life was real based on the facts that he controlled his own emotions and how he interacted with other people. The show was very successful in the "phonyness" because everything on the show is fake, from his wife, his job, even someone who drove a bus. But because of all of the obstacles and speed bumps along the way Truman Burbank still finds himself which is the main goal in life.
Growing up, having the experiences which are like your childhood, highschool, even having a high school sweetheart are all things that make someone who they are. Those actions and events might be fake and paid actors but the reality to him was real, which will affect his life and daily decisions. Truman finds himself in the end, and if his life was not real then he would be a part of this TV show for the rest of his life. But he falls in love, when they remove the girl who lives in Figi, they remove her from the show because they fall in love and she was going to reveal the truth.
If his life was fake he wouldn't care that he married someone that was assigned to marry him, instead he is going to Figi to find his women. All of his reactions towards anything daily were all instinct, and what he thought was right and wrong are not made up which is a big part of a life lesson to be true to yourself, and be who you are which is another reason and proof that his life is real. It might only be paid actors, and "phony" crisis's but they are real to him, he lives his everyday life thinking that this is his life, he wasn't paid to do anything it was a show based on him and his life. He is living the life that was delt to him, which is what any one person in the world is doing. God gave you the lives you are living, his might not be relatively the same because his is more man made but still the same point, he is living the life he was given being himself, loving who he wants to love, and going after his dreams which is to go to Figi to get this women.
He conquers his fear of water which is something else that people in the world do as they live through the days, and get older they grow up, grow out of their fears and start living their life. There all steps of a journey to he end, where all they are happy, and become the person they strive their entire life to become.
Truman does live a ‘real’ life, he is living breathing air, and is experiencing real life events. He is a person living the life that was giving to him the best he can like anyone else. He lives his life to find himself which is what everyone in this world strives to do, and in the end he does, and he gets to exactly where he wants to be. Therefore, his life is real, and he is doing a really good job on living it.
