                                                                    Truman Show
Truman Burbank always believed he was born into the real world but that was very far from the truth. Truman was not born into reality at all but a completely controlled false reality. The deceiver according to Descartes is an omniscient,all powerful being that has the ability to control everything humans believe to be true. That is exactly what Christof is to Truman. He created this world and then deceived him into believing that this was all real and that everything about it was normal. Christof was a godlike figure who was all powerful and controlled everything that everyone did. The only thing that both Truman and Descartes can believe in is their minds and their existence and nothing else because is anything else really real?  If they lose the believe that they themselves are real then life will lose all meaning so they must believe in themselves at the very least. This however can not be achieved easily there are many obstacles. Descartes says that you must remove your mind from your body in order to not end up being deceived. Truman accomplishes this by not focusing on his day to day routine but more on the future and big picture plans as well as changing everything and moving. When he starts acting on his impulses the show starts to fall apart around him and Truman is freed.
