The Truman Show: Day 1

Are we a pawn in some gigantic game? If so who's orchestrating it? Is it God, or a human?

I don't think that we are pawns in some gigantic game. There isn't a human that has the kind of power needed to control somebody's entire life. If it's God I don’t see why He would control our lives. There isn't any real reason to control us unless it's his idea of some sick and twisted game, and I don't believe that's true. Why are there homicidal maniacs if they're being controlled? Most people live their lives just doing as they're supposed to but that doesn't mean that they couldn't go kill somebody if they felt like it. Also, if our decisions are preordained, why do we feel indecision. Shouldn't we just choose what we are supposed to with no hesitation? Life seems to complicated and random for everything to be preordained. If this is all being planned how would somebody manage every single person, who died, who lived, who was born, what their name is, it just seems to much for one being to control. Then this raises the question whether or not that they decide the important decisions, like what wars are fought, and leaves the minor things like deaths and births to nature. This section of the movie left me very confused and made me want to see the end.
