The Truman Show (in context of societal overpopulation narrative)

"The Truman Show" is a film where Truman Burbank lives an entire life inside a constructed reality television set, unaware that everything around him is scripted. This narrative can be seen as a commentary on societal overpopulation, reflecting how individuals can be commodified and controlled in a crowded world. Just as Truman is manipulated for entertainment, overpopulation can lead to the commodification of human experiences, with value placed on societal performance rather than genuine connections. The film raises questions about authenticity, control, and the consequences of a society focused on consumption and surveillance amid growing populations.
