Let's phrase it another way - are there people in the world that would envy Truman's life and opportunities? I'd say it's likely - a few billion people would probably take his place in a heartbeat. It appeared that for most of the first part of his life - say, through age 18 or so - it wasn't that different than any other life - full of product placements, people with their own agendas, and hidden cameras; I would have a hard time believing that his parents didn't love him. After that they started getting malicious in their manipulation. We're all raised for a purpose; at the very least, Trumans' was well understood. Compare/contrast with the children for whom my wife was just nannying for; as best as my wife can figure, the parents had the children because it was socially expected of them, not because they necessarily wanted to or were willing to alter their lifestyle to accomodate them.
