The creator of Truman's fictional reality, Christof, is typically seen in low lighting to emphasize the fact that he wants to ensure that Truman is always unaware of the truth of life . Christof, or "Christ of", acts like Truman's God and wants everything to be controlled to his liking. Throughout the film, the quote "Cue the sun" is used by Christof. It is during this moment that the viewer can see how quickly Truman's world can be manipulated as there is a rapid change in lighting, from low lighting to high lighting. Typically, the lighting on Seahaven Island, where Truman lives, is always very bright, suggesting that the island is a utopia. Everything is too happy and too untouched, creating a sense of fakeness that viewers can quickly pick up on. In contrast, Truman has never lived a life other than the one he lives in, and believes that everything he sees is the truth. With something as simple as lighting, the effectiveness of the director's goal of representing the falsity of an apparent reality becomes evident
