While it was a great ending. I would have liked more explored. They really should have done a follow up film. Where you actually see how the world reacts to Truman and how he reacts to the real world.
This movie is based on a real person's life. But the entertainment industry doesn't want you to know who he really is. And pay actors to portray him in movies like this one. While he has never been compensated for all of the things he's done in the entertainment industry! This man's life is what this movies story is based on even though the story has been rearranged to keep his identity a well guarded secret.
We humans value truth. Truth matters. That's why the nightmare of the "meta verse" would fail as well as the Matrix. But, if we are living in a simulation, right now? Truman Show, did predicted the Matrix, the multiverse, but of course its core ideas are based on Plato's cave, Descartes' Evil Demon Hypothesis, Solipsism, Existentialism, The Concept of Umwelt, Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, The Brain in a Vat thought experiment, The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and of course Nietzsche's Will to Power, The Eternal Recurrence, The Death of God and Nihilism The Übermensch (Overman or Superman) and Perspectivism... if Hollywood, dare to philisophize again, as it did during the end of the 90's we would have less superheroes movies and more powerful stories sounding more than 20 years later.
I will never understand anyone who laughs at the end of this film. When I saw this on its original release, in a theatre packed with people, they laughed when his boat crashed and he touched the wall for the first time. I have always found that bit absolutely heartbreaking because that’s the moment he realises. For some reason I’ve never found anything amusing about that part of the film.
As Truman is talking to the creator of his world, Sylvia talks to the creator of hers for Truman to escape. She accepts her creator while prompting Truman to reject his.
Yes. Consider the fake marriage. All those TS-fan-nerds do not think ANYTHING to the end. Would love to see the CONTRACT, the actress playing / living his "wife" would have to sign. "Mrs X has to be sexually available for Mr Truman Burbank at least twice a week." And so on. I love Peter Weir but this movie is just plain stupid.
I still wished Christoph considered having Slyvia be Truman's love interest instead of Meryl because he clearly loves her instead of the woman they did hook him up with. If Christoph did that during Truman's college, she'll never would have tried to tell him the truth about his world and get kicked off the series.
The trouble is Sylvia is _genuinely_ love Truman that she want him to be free, whereas Meryl was an actress with fabricated love for Truman just so she could control him
@@darkjedi7 But because really loves Slyvia instead of Meryl, couldn't Christoph have recast Sylvia's character with an actress who looks like her and just make her Truman's love interest? That would have stop Truman from wanting to go to Fiji because he mainly want to go there because he thinks his true love is there and Christoph and his crew haven't done a good job at stopping his desire to go to Fiji.
It always bothered me how meticulous they were with keeping Truman trapped and not have him find out the truth. This woman was a cast member that had feelings for Truman and because of the risk that she may blow their cover they take her off the set.
"If he was absolutely determined to discover the truth - there's no way we could prevent him." -This to all my TRUE MEN out there. GL HF frens. Never comfort. Always suffering.
Fun fact: the host of the call-in program is none other than Harry Shearer, voice of Smithers, Mr Burns, Ned Flanders, and countless other Simpsons characters.
Exactly. “He wants to stay.” Literally traumatizing him as a child by killing his dad off by drowning, so that he becomes too scared to cross a bridge.
The costuming in this scene is really interesting. Sylvia is dressed in horizontal-striped pyjamas, almost like a prison uniform, representing the prison that she views Truman to be trapped in. Behind her we can see Truman depicted behind bars in the activist posters. Christof's clothing is an all black outfit with a splash of white at his throat. Reminiscent of a vicar or a priest. A religious leader. And then we have Truman himself. Dressed in colours that tonally match Sylvia's. But his are plainer. More like a patient in a mental hospital than a prisoner. If Truman were to believe what Christof and the actors on the show tell him, he'd then have to acknowledge himself as insane. If Truman were to believe what Sylvia tells him, he'd have to acknowledge himself as a prisoner.
The old love interest there is WAY out of his league. She is gorgeous and, "in love," with him. It's like he slipped, fell and landed in a 3000 lbs pile of platinum.
This is a lesson for all of us now in 2021.We prefer our cell, our sad and miserable safe life , as working puppets .we live with rules that we didn't make.crises here and crises there and problems everywhere, in order to accept the "solutions"
“I have given the chance for Truman to lead a normal life” With trauma planted in his head about his father drowning?
Bro if I ever found out I was ever in a truman show situation once I escape I would sue tf out of them
Is that voice from Simpsons?
no way the show could continue with Truman knowing the truth, it will turn into something else. big brother kind of thing.
Envy is the root of all evil.

once he realised it was fake the show was over... how would you possibly keep going?

Then reality tv became reality
The TRUE man show.
I wish they made a scene where Truman and Sylvia reunite and kiss

There is no way in real life that this would ever be even remotely legal.

Yeah well, dis ain't real life is it smart guy?
I hope that she and Truman had their happily ever after, after the film ended.

The thing is they hired the most unempathetic people to be the closest to truman so they won’t tell him a thing.
The music at the end is so beautiful really helps with the ending

Natascha McElhone is stunning in this film and Ed Harris is a superb villain.
Christop just want yo play a god

How did Carrey not get an Oscar nom
No, he got a FAKE Oscar nom - for his thoroughly FAKE character.
Amazing how the parents could have just sold him to a TV show - he says he watched him be born.
Cekajte, Truman je bio Srpskog porekla, jel tako?
Natascha McElhone
“I’m determined that television’s first on air conception will still take place.” What a psychopath lol
He saw her once.
Who is Phillip Glass?
Fun fact: the host of the call-in program is none other than Harry Shearer, voice of Smithers, Mr Burns, Ned Flanders, and countless other Simpsons characters.
Thank you. I was trying to place the voice. I knew it was from the simpsons, just couldn't place the character.
not I remember when you lost your first teeth, but rather "i remember the episode when you lost your first teeth"
Wow, like this part in the film, how Jim Carrey and Natasha Mckylhone, however u spell that, had great chemistry in this movie.
gang shiat
Even If Truman had fear to leave, something worse could had happen for the company
"But in my world, you will have nothing to fear." Bold thing to say to somebody five minutes after you just tried to murder them.
Exactly. “He wants to stay.” Literally traumatizing him as a child by killing his dad off by drowning, so that he becomes too scared to cross a bridge.

The nuances in this movie are fascinating
Just imagine if he walks into the actual world and gets hit by a car and beaten up by people because he was testing to see if it’s real 😂😂
This part really foreshadows what happens at the end.. Truman was determined to discover the truth, and left.
I'm not gonna lie. I rather live a fake happy life than in todays world
At least its safe
This was like Buddha leaving his palace or Adam and Eve leaving the garden of Eden
Basically c hristoph is most global leaders at the moment lolz....
It’s Karen!!!!
He has used the narration of mostly tyrants or dictators...
She is so hot.
The old love interest there is WAY out of his league. She is gorgeous and, "in love," with him. It's like he slipped, fell and landed in a 3000 lbs pile of platinum.
we all are truman controlled by vanguard and blackrock
Movie should've ended with truman killing Christoph
This is a lesson for all of us now in 2021.We prefer our cell, our sad and miserable safe life , as working puppets .we live with rules that we didn't make.crises here and crises there and problems everywhere, in order to accept the "solutions"
Is anyone else wondering why this was in their recommended?
