God Vs Man in "The Truman Show"

Recently, I watched a movie (with which I sincerely hope the reader is familiar, as it is a marvelous work) called The Truman Show. In the movie a man named Truman Burbank is going about his normal, everyday life when a stage-light falls out of the sky. A news report soon informs him that a plane had experienced some kind of mid-flight disaster and had shed parts as it fell out of the sky. This is soon followed by another long series of strange events which chip away at Truman's belief in the world around him. What Truman does not comprehend, even at the height of his paranoia, is that his entire life is cruelly and unjustly put on display for all the world to see in the form of a television show.

In the second half of the movie, the sad state of Truman's existence is explained as a news program interviews the respected and esteemed director of Truman's entire life. Christof--the director--describes how the network had adopted Truman and raised him in an artificial world. Christof explains how the whole set works, elaborates on the past troubles they had dealt with in keeping Truman under control, and even hints at a new romantic turn in Truman's life, seemingly unaware that it is another human being that he is speaking of and not some mute animal to be fed, bred, and broken in.

Before the end of the interview, a former cast member named Sylvia Garland calls in to tell Christof that what he is doing is sick, twisted, and--put simply--evil. The man interviewing Christof treats Sylvia like an insane, tiresome pest and allows her to stay on the line only because Christof says that he wants to talk with her. During the debate that ensues, Christof affirms that it is the real world that is sick and the world that he had created for Truman was by far preferable.
