I don't think I've ever seen so much compassion for truman, most people recognize the madness of the story but don't feel it as heavily as you two. It was very touching to see so much empathy.
A good number of Americans have accepted the prison we built around ourselves, movies have been one of our few outlets, even that has been hijacked. I can see a real truman show being made one day. The moral compass is decaying rapidly. These girls could see the message behind this and feel real sorrow for a man trapped in his personal zoo/hell
@@warhawkbm Edward Snowden basically already proved that our government is continuously spying on us through all of our devices. What if we are already living in it?
Never in a million years would have expected ANYONE to react like that. Even the constantly depressed Jim Carey never cried that much about this. It's beautiful but surprising.
@@christoffsimply3179 I honestly thought they were watching a completely different movie and just edited the wrong reaction to this. I liked it, though.
Sometimes I have the impression that Americans do not understand the word reaction when watching some channels that I will not mention. Of course I exaggerate a little, but I am Spanish and passion is natural here. These girls are charming.
30:48 the contrast between the people in the movie watching Truman smiling and crying because they're happy at his fake life made for their entertainment and the girls crying so hard because they actually have empathy and are devastated at his fake life broke me you girls are soo so sweet you really understand how terrible it is what they were doing to Truman, we all only have this one life and they took it from him💔
I don't know what I was expecting from this reaction, but it was not this. You two humbled me with your compassion and how quickly you understood the full implication to Truman. You made me cry.
It’s incredible how much of an impact this movie had in the world. Yet certain people have the stupidity ro say that it’s “underrated!” 🙄🙄 But then again, EVERYTHING is underrated to die many people… they misuse that word, that’s the problem
Great point! When it was new, Jim Carey was the comedy guy and we knew the premise. So we could kinda enjoy the lighter side a little more, knowing he'd probably win somehow. Seeing it through fresh eyes is wild. It is a crazy evil thing to do!
@@The_Deaf_Aussie You are in a giant cage, and every second of your life is recorded. Every time you eat, sleep, have sex. Every intimacy, everything. It's all recorded and seen. Your whole life. Yeah. Pretty horrific.
Incredible reaction, I was a lot more sensitive to this movie now than when I saw it as a kid. The empathy you have for Truman, and anger at the world for doing this to him, is so cathartic. Jim Carrey and Natasha McElhone were fantastic in this movie, they both deserved a lot of accolades.
@@antondzajajurca7797 No, they are not acting! They let themselves emote without suppressing their feelings.

I think the most amazing part of your reactions happened when you realized what was actually happening. You started laughing at the silliness of the situation, then began feeling awkward, then the anger. And more anger. As much as this movie made both of you cry, I do believe it was out of anger more than anything else. I don’t care if I sound like a broken record, but that was the best reaction ever.
@@YoureMrLebowski that was the best reaction I have ever seen it was all pure emotion in real time you would never see emotion like that from any top actor or actress
There is a deleted scene showing that his friend finds him when everyone is looking for him, but he let's him go. This showed that he was his true friend.
i never saw that scene, but i still hate his friend for his role in all this. That seems like the least he can do for all the other times he gaslight him to be scared of the unknown. Nice gesture, but it doesnt make up for all the paychecks he took before that.
There's also a deleted scene showing a cast meeting, in which they go over the plans to replace the wife with another character and then have a "spinoff" after Truman and the second wife have a child.

The way all of you perceive the world around you is quite refreshing and endearing and much appreciated by us all. What a great channel and I look forwards to watching your reactions. Take care ladies.
we did this as kids. it was a way to lie without the guilt of lying. so in this movie, she is crossing her finger as a way of justifying that it isnt really a lie because she is crossing her fingers.
Yeah, it means it doesn't count. Like if you made a promise while crossing your fingers, means it doesn't count. So the wife is saying she's not really married cause she was crossing her fingers.
Such a great ending line for Truman... but the actual end is also proufound. How the two security guards just heartlessly moving on to the next thing... kinda like us. :)
It looked like a very tough watch for Tien and Hela. But it's one of those movies that people never forget. Amazing reaction as always, thanks to you both.
Gah I remember not being able to trust anything after it. Even now all these years later, you know, you never know. That's why I keep my life boring as possible. Won't play their games. Viva la resistance.
This movie came just before the explosion of "reality TV" and very much predicted the level of lies and intrusiveness that "reality TV" was going to take us. And it absolutely has. The same with the surveillance state - today, if you leave your house, you are probably being recorded by 20-100 cameras, every day. This was an incredible reaction, and we all want to give you a hug and dry your eyes. You kind of felt it for all of us again.
Wait until the penny drops about how their own side career is in the same arena.... But that they chose to become a part of the intrusive videos and unintentionally a part of lies about reality vs viewed footage...
There were "reality TV shows" as far back as the 60's with shows like "This Is Your Life." Granted, it wasn't as scripted as this era of reality TV but they certainly only presented the most dramatic events even back then. And, true, we are recorded by at least a 100 different cameras everyday of our public lives but we constantly ignore the one camera looking directly at our face that's attached to our black screen devices. My phone camera has been capturing me as I type this comment.
I really, really love this reaction. The empathy the girls' show here is like a glimpse of a better world, where everybody cares that much about each other. The first time I saw this movie I already knew the premise and spent most of it enjoying the dark humor and cleverness of it all. It makes it easy to overlook the existential horror and tragedy at the heart of the film. Also I'm not sure I've ever seen a reactor throw their headphones out of anger at the injustice of the on-screen narrative. Utterly charming and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this!
I loved this reaction almost as much as the movie itself. You two did a wonderful job expressing all of the different emotions that the movie throws at you. The level of sadness on display at the end really amplified my own sadness as I rewatched along with you. Thank you so much! I’m so excited to watch all of your other videos!
He mad a film with Ewan McGregor, (Obi-Wan). I thought it was something to do with smoking because of the title, but it turned out to be some kind of biopic. Pretty flat film.
I love you Hella, you must be the most empathetic person on the planet. You veered between righteous anger and inconsolable sadness when you realized Truman's plight. And Tien wasn't far behind you. The honest reactions by you and the entire Movie Munchies team are what's making your channel so great and so popular.
Wasn't expecting this to break Hella this much. It is indeed a drama but played very lightly and for laughs 95% of the time, so I've never given the dark aspect of it that much thought. Thank you, great reaction 🥲
Definitely one of the most heartbreaking reactions I’ve ever seen and definitely the most saddest I’ve seen for The Truman Show. Tien throwing her headphones was definitely a first that I’ve ever seen for a reaction. Bless their hearts. I’m glad they had each other to lean on there. Ladies I don’t usually recommend movies here because most everyone else will do that but I also recommend you watch Carrey’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Oh and Tien now rivaling Chi for cursing and I love it!
We all hate commercials but nobody hates commercials more than Tien and Hella.🤣 I saw a different perspective watching this reaction. The empathy was off the chart. You ladies have such a pure soul. 👏👏👏
Product placement has become more and more prevalent in all forms of media and all over the world. I'm a big fan of K-Dramas and they are maybe a little bit more subtle, but it's still noticeable and very common throughout the series run. I don't know how many times I've seen an actor break out a package of Kopiko (coffee hard candy) and suck on a piece to have another actor ask "Can I have one?" or "Is it that good?". 😆
I’ve watched this movie many many times times since I was a child. I think Hellas reaction is from someone who hasn’t been desensitized by these kind of issues. It’s real and it’s raw and there’s nothing wrong with feeling that way.
Watching you two react leaves me with incredible appreciation for you. I've been seeing so much hatred lately on news feeds and social media. The racism and division is overwhelming. The two of you displayed an admirable demonstration of empathy and care for other people. I'm happy that you exist and contribute to beauty in the world. ❤️
😳Hooo-leee shit that was intense. Not gonna lie, the way they reacted made me judge my own morality. I mean yes, they're right; it is very cruel what they did to Truman. Growing up in the US, we've became numb to this kind of manipulation and it lowkey hurts to see others realize that. Their reaction shown me how cold/numb we've became as a society. Out of all the reacts that I've watched on RUclips, this one hit me the hardest. Thank you for suffering through and making this video.
I hear you. It's similar here in Europe (both eastern and western). By the time people finish high school they are so desensitized due to ruthless competition, watching Game of Thrones, getting cheated on by your significant other, seeing how salesmen, bankers and gangsters are held in high regard, so you kinda expect people to f you over... Makes me curious about what Vietnam is really like, what behavior standards prevail, what sort of content is consumed... And it makes me sad about what we've done with ourselves... The wind, one brilliant day, called to my soul with an odor of jasmine. "In return for the odor of my jasmine, I'd like all the odor of your roses." "I have no roses; all the flowers in my garden are dead." "Well then, I'll take the withered petals and the yellow leaves and the waters of the fountain." the wind left. And I wept. And I said to myself: "What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?" (Antonio Machado)
Their reaction made me question is it a good idea to even watch reactions. Seeing them cry and be angered, and it be genuine- is that the kinda content I like watching? Visceral reactions? goodness I feel kind of guilty.
I know but remember we knew the twist before we ever saw the movie, most of us. You'd probably be more like this if you went in fresh likem them. It's a shocking, horrifying thing!
19:54 What he noticed with magnifying glass was how two of her fingers were crossed. An old childish tradition is that "crossing your fingers" means its ok to not tell the truth or follow through on a promise you make when crossing your fingers.
"IT'S NOT GOD, YOU'RE NOT THE FATHER" I don't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing that when Ed started talking to Truman from "heavens above." in his station.
Hella's insight into the parallels between this movie and the real epidemic of "helicopter parenting" is brilliant! We have generations of overprotected kids growing up into dysfunctional adults.
@@Jagent I'm not sure how to make in any clearer. In Pleasantville, people are living their normal lives, and someone comes and changes things, and they have to figure out how to deal with it. It's a comedy of naivete. In The Truman Show, a man is trapped in a false world and wants to escape. Everyone and everything in his world is there to keep him a prisoner. You saw how they reacted. That's not how you react to a comedy. That's how you react to a highly effective horror movie.
I think my emotional reaction to this film was very similar to Hella's when I first saw it. On the surface it seems like this quirky surreal movie, but that understanding of the weight of Truman's situation, the feeling of betrayal from even your closest friend, for an entire life- that cuts deep.
And that oh-so-horrifying line casually tossed in "...the first person to be legally adopted by a corporation". It's the 'first' that really chills my blood.
this I think is one of the best reactions to a movie I've ever seen. I'm sorry but I don't know how to spell either of your names but you two are some of the most insightful, sensitive, caring people I've ever seen react to a movie. thank you guys for being YOU, don't ever change because you're both amazing humans ❤❤❤.
You should really watch 'Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind' - another absolute tearjerker of a Jim Carrey film, and one where his acting capabilities really get to shine!
@@nsasupporter7557 Check out Adam Sandler in "Reign Over Me". Was pleasantly surprised. It's nice to see comedian actors step out of their comfort zone and do well. I knew he did well in other dramatic roles such as "Punch Drunk Love" also quite good but reign over me was more recent and hit a spot.
35:50 It's a nice touch that the production crew gave the actress who they want to become Truman's new love interest a red sweater similar the one Sylvia wore. Clever. Evil, I guess, but still clever.
Well, I can honestly say I've never seen anyone cry during this movie. Let alone sob uncontrollably. Another genuine, heartfelt reaction, ladies. What a cool and touching display of empathy. You've become some of my very favorite reactioners to watch. Your reaction to Gran Turino might still be my very favorite
Hella don't ever change ! Your jagged emotions , are both refreshing , and devastating . To see you so completely immersed in the story being depicted , shows the power of the medium . Truth in fiction ! It is incredible that Jim Carrey was not even nominated for an Academy Award , something about him JUST being some buffoon comedian . I think this movie shows who the true buffoons are .
I don't think I've ever seen such a passionate and caring emotional reaction....not ever. You two are such genuine and sweet people 💖. The world needs more like you💯
Omg. I am SO GLAD you all chose this movie to watch. This movie is one of the Greats! But, at the same time, I think this is the Hardest thing you guys have ever had to watch. I think you need to eat a warm meal and have some rest after this.
His last name, Burbank, is a reference to Burbank, California. It's just a few miles from Hollywood, and many entertainment and media companies have their headquarters and major studios located there. And if you ever plan on visiting LA, i highly recommend flying in and out of the Burbank airport instead of LAX.
When I watched this movie as a kid... all I could think of was "This is so implausible...a giant indoor studio... this would never happen". It wasn't until I saw it as an adult that the themes really impacted me. These girls skipped straight to the impact. Well done!
These girls watch movies the way they are meant to be seen, as if the story, the events, are really happening and you see the injustices, the horrors, the unfairness and evil that one man can inflict on another. Hello I was so into it that she had to remind herself that it was just a movie, and one should as they come back to reality when the movie is over. I must say that I was really shocked at how strongly they took it and how angry they got, but I love them all the more for that. I really wanted to hold Hella and Let Her Cry on My Shoulder or even beat on me if she needed to if that helped her out. All three of you ladies are amazing to watch and I really enjoy every reaction you post. Hugs and kisses ladies. ❤❤
I was raised in a very controlling religious cult. I was lied to more whole life about our church and how the whole world was against us. I eventually got out. I love this movie, because I can relate to it so much.
So what do you think of “society”? Do you think it’s a bigger cult? We are all brainwashed and fed lies all our lives. I realized when I was 16 that everything is made up. We made up the calendar, work days, the weekend, laws, buildings, entertainment, etc. We constructed this society from beliefs that were based on truths and lies. In a sense, we are all in a cult with a certain amount of freedom to give the illusion we are free.
damn man you should make some content about it. im sorry u had to endure all that but it would be absolutely fascinating to learn about. congrats on getting thru to the other side✌️
Oof. Of course, it's important to find new people you can trust, but if you ever feel alone and adrift, just remember: "Was anything real?" "You were real." Trust yourself to be your own anchor. _You_ were real. You know who you are, and you were strong enough to stand on your own. You can do this. Best of luck to you. 👍
@@WHADATBOYNAMEIS It is way more common than you think. There is a tool called the Bite Model, which is used to measure the level of control of different religions and other groups. The Bite Model does not actually use the term Cult, but it is used to determine if an organization is toxic, with the intent of helping to fix that organization. Most people consider a high score on the Bite Model a good indication that a religion is a cult, and I think that is a healthy way to use the term cult. Members of my old faith would disagree and feel hurt if they were called a cult, but the level of toxic control, the attacks on ex-Members (mostly ostracization and attacks on reputation rather than violence but that happens) as well as the financial exploitation of members in both getting them to fork over large amounts of money and time and the lies used to get them to provide free labor to the church. Their leaders tell everyone that no member, including leadership is paid for their church work, and yet the church leadership all live in mansions, ride around in limos and private jets and go on expensive vacations several times a year while everyone else suffers
@@davestang5454 The movie is about control and gaslighting. It applies to a great many scenarios that exist in modern day, including religion and government. Similar to how The Matrix was written as an allegory for the transgender experience but it applies to a great many real life experiences, so many in fact that most audiences didn't figure out the original intent until the directors came out as trans.
THAT WAS AWESOME! I was starting to worry about you two and I was hoping the end would come soon so you could see Truman finally made it out. WHEW! You girls are beautiful,! 💓😎👍
Probably the most amazing reaction I've seen to any movie. All of you ladies do such a great job. I guess the whole Idea of movies is to extract all sorts of emotions from us. But to see you two react this way just shows me that there are some amazing actors and directors out there. Oh and Greetings from Vung Tau!!
"We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented." This movie is actually deeply philosophical. These ideas go all the way back to Plato's cave story, and probably before. Truth, illusion, manipulation, gaslighting, ethics in entertainment, capitalism gone amok... the list goes on and on. This is a black mirror episode before black mirror was a thing, and there are some dire warnings and lessons to be learned for contemporary society and future generations.
It's fundamental to being an observing creature that our observations are flawed, so our conception of reality is flawed, but it's those observation are also the only way we can know reality at all.
That's part of it, but it more a dig at corporate US entertainment and how far they would go if allowed. Also a commentary on the audience who would watch the show, (even a bar opened on the premise of the show), without a thought for Truman. Then at the end they are like..."What's on the other station...?"
@@GrinningDeath-i1s Flawed observation and interpretation are inevitable, the real problem iss holding on to them despite needless suffering or setting on a course to further destruction because it works "well enough" for a time/demographic.
I have never seen a reaction where someone was so emotionally invested in the movie as you all were here. Absolutely loved your reaction. This is my favorite movie from Jim Carrey.
Your humanity and heart really show through your reaction of this movie. You understand that human injustice can never be tolerated! I love your reactions. Keep up the good work 👍🏽❤️
This movie is a dig at corporate US entertainment and how far they would go if allowed. One thing no one mentions is it's also a commentary on the audience who would watch the show, (even a bar opened on the premise of the show), without a thought for Truman.

The reactions of the two women,particularly Hella,were quite moving-it’s certainly one of the strongest reactions to a movie l’ve ever seen on RUclips.
I adore you two Ladies,I've seen a lot of reactions to The Truman Show but this one is by far the best of all of them,outstanding,I didn't like seeing you two getting so emotional/crying during the movie but you did quickly pick up on a lot of clues during the film.Looking forward to your next reaction..
This kind of emotion is beautiful to see. Tears of grief and anger both at such a gigantic injustice! This movie is amazing to see, but I feel that watching it while you two showed such extreme emotions made it TRULY awesome!
I love how emotional you both got during the movie and how quickly you got the concept of it. I can't wait to see what Jim Carey movie Tien and Hela watch next.
I love how Hella has learned about US landmarks from Team America. "that's not Mt. Rushmore!" 😊
I genuinely cracked up, love em 😭🫶🏽♡
Damn, are we really that jaded ?? Their reaction should have been everyone's reaction, they stole Truman's entire life. We only have one !!!
Which is why we must make the best of our lives while we still can.
The compassion for Truman and righteous anger towards Christof made this one of the very best reaction videos I've ever seen. Thank you.

There is a deleted scene showing that his friend finds him when everyone is looking for him, but he let's him go. This showed that he was his true friend.

I really, really love this reaction. The empathy the girls' show here is like a glimpse of a better world, where everybody cares that much about each other.
The first time I saw this movie I already knew the premise and spent most of it enjoying the dark humor and cleverness of it all. It makes it easy to overlook the existential horror and tragedy at the heart of the film.
Also I'm not sure I've ever seen a reactor throw their headphones out of anger at the injustice of the on-screen narrative.
Utterly charming and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this!
Such a response, so much empathy and emotion, it's truly moving. Nobody tell them about any intentionally sad movies.
I loved this reaction almost as much as the movie itself. You two did a wonderful job expressing all of the different emotions that the movie throws at you. The level of sadness on display at the end really amplified my own sadness as I rewatched along with you. Thank you so much! I’m so excited to watch all of your other videos!
"Eternal Sunshine" and "Man on The Moon" are his serious films and also some of his best. "Eternal Sunshine" is my favorite of his for sure.
Agreed. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" would be a great one for them to watch.
He mad a film with Ewan McGregor, (Obi-Wan). I thought it was something to do with smoking because of the title, but it turned out to be some kind of biopic.
Pretty flat film.
@@mrjackpots1326 Yeah, without any context or growing up watching any of the shows Man on the Moon would be kinda terrible.
😢😢 Virtual Hug for Hela.
Hela made me want to start crying too.
"You're not good don't make yourself out to be a hero!"
I love you Hella, you must be the most empathetic person on the planet. You veered between righteous anger and inconsolable sadness when you realized Truman's plight. And Tien wasn't far behind you. The honest reactions by you and the entire Movie Munchies team are what's making your channel so great and so popular.
Wasn't expecting this to break Hella this much.
It is indeed a drama but played very lightly and for laughs 95% of the time, so I've never given the dark aspect of it that much thought. Thank you, great reaction 🥲
I’ve never seen so much empathy in a reaction before. Really beautiful
I don't think I've ever seen somebody react to this movie who didn't already know the premise before starting it. Amazing!
Most of their channel are cold introductions. I wish I could go into films like T2 and Truman Show knowing nothing.
What were they thinking with the name and marketing... it's such a shame 90% of people knew the basic plot before seeing it
@@apoc519 i’ve never watched a trailer for the movie, but I have to imagine they put it all out there
@@JustCrash are you insane? or is something wrong with you?
@@76marex no I’m just answering OP’s question.
Definitely one of the most heartbreaking reactions I’ve ever seen and definitely the most saddest I’ve seen for The Truman Show. Tien throwing her headphones was definitely a first that I’ve ever seen for a reaction. Bless their hearts. I’m glad they had each other to lean on there. Ladies I don’t usually recommend movies here because most everyone else will do that but I also recommend you watch Carrey’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Oh and Tien now rivaling Chi for cursing and I love it!
Wow! What a beautiful raw reaction. Definitely one of my favorites ever. It proves that both of you have compassionate beautiful souls.
This is the most emotional response I've seen from a reaction to this movie. Haha
We all hate commercials but nobody hates commercials more than Tien and Hella.🤣 I saw a different perspective watching this reaction. The empathy was off the chart. You ladies have such a pure soul. 👏👏👏
Product placement has become more and more prevalent in all forms of media and all over the world. I'm a big fan of K-Dramas and they are maybe a little bit more subtle, but it's still noticeable and very common throughout the series run. I don't know how many times I've seen an actor break out a package of Kopiko (coffee hard candy) and suck on a piece to have another actor ask "Can I have one?" or "Is it that good?". 😆
@@ronbo11 LOL, so true.
This is one of your best videos yet!
Personally, I wish we were given just one shot of Truman and Sylvia even standing 100 feet from each other.
I’ve watched this movie many many times times since I was a child. I think Hellas reaction is from someone who hasn’t been desensitized by these kind of issues. It’s real and it’s raw and there’s nothing wrong with feeling that way.
I've watched HUNDREDS of movie reactions in my time.
This one was the best. 💛🌏💛
Watching you two react leaves me with incredible appreciation for you. I've been seeing so much hatred lately on news feeds and social media. The racism and division is overwhelming. The two of you displayed an admirable demonstration of empathy and care for other people. I'm happy that you exist and contribute to beauty in the world. ❤️
😳Hooo-leee shit that was intense. Not gonna lie, the way they reacted made me judge my own morality. I mean yes, they're right; it is very cruel what they did to Truman. Growing up in the US, we've became numb to this kind of manipulation and it lowkey hurts to see others realize that. Their reaction shown me how cold/numb we've became as a society. Out of all the reacts that I've watched on RUclips, this one hit me the hardest. Thank you for suffering through and making this video.
I hear you. It's similar here in Europe (both eastern and western). By the time people finish high school they are so desensitized due to ruthless competition, watching Game of Thrones, getting cheated on by your significant other, seeing how salesmen, bankers and gangsters are held in high regard, so you kinda expect people to f you over...
Makes me curious about what Vietnam is really like, what behavior standards prevail, what sort of content is consumed... And it makes me sad about what we've done with ourselves...
The wind, one brilliant day, called
to my soul with an odor of jasmine.
"In return for the odor of my jasmine,
I'd like all the odor of your roses."
"I have no roses; all the flowers
in my garden are dead."
"Well then, I'll take the withered petals
and the yellow leaves and the waters of the fountain."
the wind left. And I wept. And I said to myself:
"What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?"
(Antonio Machado)
Their reaction made me question is it a good idea to even watch reactions. Seeing them cry and be angered, and it be genuine- is that the kinda content I like watching? Visceral reactions? goodness I feel kind of guilty.
I know but remember we knew the twist before we ever saw the movie, most of us. You'd probably be more like this if you went in fresh likem them. It's a shocking, horrifying thing!
I never thought I would hear that's not the true Mount Rushmore remember Team America
"Don't make yourself the hero."
Profound quote.
19:54 What he noticed with magnifying glass was how two of her fingers were crossed. An old childish tradition is that "crossing your fingers" means its ok to not tell the truth or follow through on a promise you make when crossing your fingers.
Oh my GOD I never thought about that 😭😭 this is how I find out
This was a film ahead of its time, as with social media and influencers, we live in a world where people willing became Trumans.
"IT'S NOT GOD, YOU'RE NOT THE FATHER" I don't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing that when Ed started talking to Truman from "heavens above." in his station.
Hella's insight into the parallels between this movie and the real epidemic of "helicopter parenting" is brilliant!
We have generations of overprotected kids growing up into dysfunctional adults.
Wow. I don't think I've ever seen anyone cry with rage before.
I think you'd enjoy watching Pleasantville next. It goes well with the Truman Show.
That’s a good idea-the two movies do complement each other.
Pleasantville is a comedy. The Truman Show is a horror movie.
@@PhilBagels I don't understand your point. Alien is a horror film. Aliens is an action film.
@@Jagent I'm not sure how to make in any clearer. In Pleasantville, people are living their normal lives, and someone comes and changes things, and they have to figure out how to deal with it. It's a comedy of naivete.
In The Truman Show, a man is trapped in a false world and wants to escape. Everyone and everything in his world is there to keep him a prisoner.
You saw how they reacted. That's not how you react to a comedy. That's how you react to a highly effective horror movie.
@@Jagent PhilBagels is right. It's every bit a horror movie, where the monsters are the victim's "friends" and "family."
I think my emotional reaction to this film was very similar to Hella's when I first saw it. On the surface it seems like this quirky surreal movie, but that understanding of the weight of Truman's situation, the feeling of betrayal from even your closest friend, for an entire life- that cuts deep.
And that oh-so-horrifying line casually tossed in "...the first person to be legally adopted by a corporation". It's the 'first' that really chills my blood.
Yes. It's a horror movie. There may not be any gore and violence or supernatural monsters, but it's as clear a depiction of pure evil as any.
this I think is one of the best reactions to a movie I've ever seen. I'm sorry but I don't know how to spell either of your names but you two are some of the most insightful, sensitive, caring people I've ever seen react to a movie. thank you guys for being YOU, don't ever change because you're both amazing humans ❤❤❤.
This reaction gives me hope for humanity; not everyone is cold and indifferent.👍
You should really watch 'Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind' - another absolute tearjerker of a Jim Carrey film, and one where his acting capabilities really get to shine!
He plays different characters in his comedies also… he’s the only versatile comedian next to Robin Williams
@@nsasupporter7557 Check out Adam Sandler in "Reign Over Me". Was pleasantly surprised. It's nice to see comedian actors step out of their comfort zone and do well.
I knew he did well in other dramatic roles such as "Punch Drunk Love" also quite good but reign over me was more recent and hit a spot.
36:33 Hella: he's realizing something, that guy is smart, damn yu, BE STUPID!😂😂😂
35:50 It's a nice touch that the production crew gave the actress who they want to become Truman's new love interest a red sweater similar the one Sylvia wore. Clever. Evil, I guess, but still clever.
Well, I can honestly say I've never seen anyone cry during this movie. Let alone sob uncontrollably. Another genuine, heartfelt reaction, ladies. What a cool and touching display of empathy. You've become some of my very favorite reactioners to watch. Your reaction to Gran Turino might still be my very favorite
You two girls make me cry... Hugs
I love how quickly both of you are willing to throw hands on behalf of Truman
Hella don't ever change ! Your jagged emotions , are both refreshing , and devastating . To see you so completely immersed in the story being depicted , shows the power of the medium . Truth in fiction ! It is incredible that Jim Carrey was not even nominated for an Academy Award , something about him JUST being some buffoon comedian . I think this movie shows who the true buffoons are .
I don't think I've ever seen such a passionate and caring emotional reaction....not ever. You two are such genuine and sweet people 💖. The world needs more like you💯
Omg. I am SO GLAD you all chose this movie to watch. This movie is one of the Greats!
But, at the same time, I think this is the Hardest thing you guys have ever had to watch. I think you need to eat a warm meal and have some rest after this.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film get such a strong emotional reaction out of these two before. Fantastic reaction.
I’ve watched this movie a million times, but I still cried with you guys 😭💚✨
When I watched this movie back in the day, I didn't think it was that emotional. Watching it with you two and I am crying too!
His last name, Burbank, is a reference to Burbank, California. It's just a few miles from Hollywood, and many entertainment and media companies have their headquarters and major studios located there. And if you ever plan on visiting LA, i highly recommend flying in and out of the Burbank airport instead of LAX.
100%. Burbank Airport for the win!
When I watched this movie as a kid... all I could think of was "This is so implausible...a giant indoor studio... this would never happen". It wasn't until I saw it as an adult that the themes really impacted me. These girls skipped straight to the impact. Well done!
These girls watch movies the way they are meant to be seen, as if the story, the events, are really happening and you see the injustices, the horrors, the unfairness and evil that one man can inflict on another. Hello I was so into it that she had to remind herself that it was just a movie, and one should as they come back to reality when the movie is over.
I must say that I was really shocked at how strongly they took it and how angry they got, but I love them all the more for that. I really wanted to hold Hella and Let Her Cry on My Shoulder or even beat on me if she needed to if that helped her out. All three of you ladies are amazing to watch and I really enjoy every reaction you post. Hugs and kisses ladies. ❤❤
So glad to see this notification. It’s one of those films that I love seeing first reactions to! Thank you both 😁
33:20 - "Is that legal?" LOL!!!
Cuteness overload hehehe
You ladies have become incredibly insightful and empathetic throughout your development watching all these movies. Stay awesome
I was raised in a very controlling religious cult. I was lied to more whole life about our church and how the whole world was against us. I eventually got out. I love this movie, because I can relate to it so much.
So what do you think of “society”? Do you think it’s a bigger cult? We are all brainwashed and fed lies all our lives. I realized when I was 16 that everything is made up. We made up the calendar, work days, the weekend, laws, buildings, entertainment, etc. We constructed this society from beliefs that were based on truths and lies. In a sense, we are all in a cult with a certain amount of freedom to give the illusion we are free.
damn man you should make some content about it. im sorry u had to endure all that but it would be absolutely fascinating to learn about. congrats on getting thru to the other side✌️
Oof. Of course, it's important to find new people you can trust, but if you ever feel alone and adrift, just remember: "Was anything real?" "You were real." Trust yourself to be your own anchor. _You_ were real. You know who you are, and you were strong enough to stand on your own. You can do this. Best of luck to you. 👍
@@WHADATBOYNAMEIS It is way more common than you think. There is a tool called the Bite Model, which is used to measure the level of control of different religions and other groups. The Bite Model does not actually use the term Cult, but it is used to determine if an organization is toxic, with the intent of helping to fix that organization. Most people consider a high score on the Bite Model a good indication that a religion is a cult, and I think that is a healthy way to use the term cult. Members of my old faith would disagree and feel hurt if they were called a cult, but the level of toxic control, the attacks on ex-Members (mostly ostracization and attacks on reputation rather than violence but that happens) as well as the financial exploitation of members in both getting them to fork over large amounts of money and time and the lies used to get them to provide free labor to the church. Their leaders tell everyone that no member, including leadership is paid for their church work, and yet the church leadership all live in mansions, ride around in limos and private jets and go on expensive vacations several times a year while everyone else suffers
@@davestang5454 The movie is about control and gaslighting. It applies to a great many scenarios that exist in modern day, including religion and government. Similar to how The Matrix was written as an allegory for the transgender experience but it applies to a great many real life experiences, so many in fact that most audiences didn't figure out the original intent until the directors came out as trans.
1:48 "what? what? we cannot use you as a food." -Hella 😆
Society of the Snow....I can't say anything more 😞
THAT WAS AWESOME! I was starting to worry about you two and I was hoping the end would come soon so you could see Truman finally made it out. WHEW! You girls are beautiful,! 💓😎👍
Hella is just too adorable, her reactions are so pure.
Hella's childhood would be enlightening
😂you girls keep surprising me. Relating this to over protective parents. I never hear that 1 before. You are very insightful 👏 👌 👍 😀
Probably the most amazing reaction I've seen to any movie. All of you ladies do such a great job. I guess the whole Idea of movies is to extract all sorts of emotions from us. But to see you two react this way just shows me that there are some amazing actors and directors out there. Oh and Greetings from Vung Tau!!
"We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented."
This movie is actually deeply philosophical. These ideas go all the way back to Plato's cave story, and probably before. Truth, illusion, manipulation, gaslighting, ethics in entertainment, capitalism gone amok... the list goes on and on. This is a black mirror episode before black mirror was a thing, and there are some dire warnings and lessons to be learned for contemporary society and future generations.
It's fundamental to being an observing creature that our observations are flawed, so our conception of reality is flawed, but it's those observation are also the only way we can know reality at all.
I see this movie as the bridge between The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror.
That's part of it, but it more a dig at corporate US entertainment and how far they would go if allowed.
Also a commentary on the audience who would watch the show, (even a bar opened on the premise of the show), without a thought for Truman.
Then at the end they are like..."What's on the other station...?"
@@GrinningDeath-i1s Flawed observation and interpretation are inevitable, the real problem iss holding on to them despite needless suffering or setting on a course to further destruction because it works "well enough" for a time/demographic.
Glad to see your reaction.
It multiply the emotions of the movie
I have never seen a reaction where someone was so emotionally invested in the movie as you all were here. Absolutely loved your reaction. This is my favorite movie from Jim Carrey.
14:09 "people are watching!" -Hella
realization after realization!
Your humanity and heart really show through your reaction of this movie. You understand that human injustice can never be tolerated! I love your reactions. Keep up the good work 👍🏽❤️
This movie is a dig at corporate US entertainment and how far they would go if allowed.
One thing no one mentions is it's also a commentary on the audience who would watch the show, (even a bar opened on the premise of the show), without a thought for Truman.
Then at the end after two decades they are like..."What's on the other channel...?"
The reactions of the two women,particularly Hella,were quite moving-it’s certainly one of the strongest reactions to a movie l’ve ever seen on RUclips.
I love these reactors! So invested in the story.
I adore you two Ladies,I've seen a lot of reactions to The Truman Show but this one is by far the best of all of them,outstanding,I didn't like seeing you two getting so emotional/crying during the movie but you did quickly pick up on a lot of clues during the film.Looking forward to your next reaction..
18:56 LMAO I love that her reference for what Mt. Rushmore looks like is Team America lol
49:17 "...he's about our age, i guess." -Hella
Jim Carrey was 36 years old when the Truman show was released in 1998. 🙂
@@sinther1 under 25? who knows.
This kind of emotion is beautiful to see. Tears of grief and anger both at such a gigantic injustice!
This movie is amazing to see, but I feel that watching it while you two showed such extreme emotions made it TRULY awesome!
Someone show this to Jim, he'd love these girls.
I love how emotional you both got during the movie and how quickly you got the concept of it. I can't wait to see what Jim Carey movie Tien and Hela watch next.
Jim Carrey is the best entertainer of all time, anybody who thinks otherwise is stupid literally
You ladies need to watch eternal sunshine of the spotless mind ✌🏼
