The Truman Show
Setting:
1. What kind of place does Seahaven appear to be in the opening sequence of scenes? Seahaven appears to be perfect with nothing out of place

After viewing the entire film
weather
The weather looked like it was the same every day, but when Truman was sad or feeling an emotion the people would change the weather to the situation
The weather was the same, they made every cloud the same, they tried to make it perfect
traffic
The traffic is always the same cars and the same people
The traffic changed to what Truman was doing
sunsets
The sun set was the same all ways and average most of the time because it was always the same
The sun set the same every night but they could change when the sun went up/down if they wanted to
houses
All the houses look the exact same and look artificial, they make the houses a bright colour to show happiness.

They do the same thing that everyone else does.
relationships

Relationships seem false
