The Truman Show is a satire, and contains a thinly veiled religious allegory. The aptly-named Christof is a mysterious character with a God complex who uses his omnipresence to control Truman - both physically and mentally - for the sake of ratings. The plot is about Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) who is viewed live 24 hours a day, uncensored, as a soap opera to the real world through public broadcasting. The thing is, Truman Burbank is the only one who doesn't know this.
