It's very true, Truman is the only people in all that false world who live their own unique life, but while the other thousands of actors who are just filling that world are living an empty life as well as including the creator of that program and its workers who make that show work and last it's worth mentioning that billions of people or viewers see the life of only one person who is Truman.
He should have known the show would fail someday. Even by his own logic, Truman himself would get sick of “watching actors” and their “phones emotions.”
The film is quite heavy handed in the names but the concept and acting is just so good, it balanced quite well. And incredibly poignant and clairvoyant about the world to come.
These people are EVIL. As soon as he shows interest in exploring or leaving, they force poor Truman to go somewhere near water, where he’s terrified of because of the staging of his father’s death from drowning…just to freak him out so he won’t try to escape, and film his reaction for dramatic purposes. Sickening.
I've always thought this movie was messed up. Imagine being in your 30's and finding out every friend and loved one you've ever known or trusted in your life was just an actor. And every failure, breakup, or difficulty you'd been through was just staged for other peoples' entertainment. This movie isn't funny.

Truman show would be a major human rights breach - specifically right to liberty: the right of all persons to freedom of their person - freedom of movement and freedom from arbitrary detention by others.

Pause at 3:50 and 3:56 The magazine are subliminal messages. At 3:50 you can mags with word "Child" on them to encourage Tuman to have a kid with his wife. His neighbors dog is also on the mags most likly to try influence his attitude towards dogs. 3:56. We see mags about gardening and golfing, which see Truman do later for fun unware that these were inplanted into his head. We also see cooking magazines which are most likely to get him to appreciate his wife meals and product placements. Letter ar work when Truman rips the eyes out of beauty magazines if you pause and try to read the pages you'll find the director wrote articles design to try to get Truman to forget about Sylvia. One article the model talks taking pride in being a "doctor", like Trumans wife. The other article talk about taking pride in your job and freinds to try discourage Truman from leaving for Fiji.
I think the real question is how Truman was never suspicious about that trash can camera. It looks so conspicuous, and I can't think of any alternative explanations of what it's supposed to be.
"They're making cutbacks at the end of this month!" But not before hiring a new woman who will immediately start flirting with Truman, the very day after his wife moves out.
Would be interesting to know how high the dome he is in is, I'm thinking maintenance (like dodgy lights....) I guess they'd have to be maintained from the exterior.
It honestly wouldn’t be that hard. Truman is the only one who can’t know about it and he’s constantly monitored. As long as he’s asleep someone can be up there rigging lights in broad daylight.
At first sight that I saw this movie I felt a horrible martyrdom living in a completely false world but I see that in reality, although everything is a montage, TRUMAN is a unique person in that world who lives his own life, but instead while the thousands of actors who They are only filler in that world and in people it is to be crazy to dedicate a good part of their life making a double life that is guiding those pamphlets of that false world of truman as well as both the creator of that program and his workers create the reality of only one character and I also want to mention lastly that billions of people around the world are so focused and dedicated seeing the life of only one person, who is truman although his truman life was false but he lived his own life and not as the rest of the filler actors, the creator and workers of the show and also the billions of viewers watching a whole life of just one person. but it also makes an allegory of our real world
Truman is the only person in the whole world who lives his own life in exchange for billions of human beings watching a boring eternal "Truman show" and also worth mentioning the extra inhabitants who are not even living their own life because they are extra actors in that world.
I always wondered if his college degree was worth anything outside of show? Or what kind of education did he have? was it top notch? AND Also I always wondered if the marriage was real? Was the pastor a real pastor or just an actor pretending to be a pastor to marry them?
"...it's a life" so naturally that means let's essentially imprison him, control or manipulate damn near every single aspect of his life, put it all on live TV without his knowing and expect him to just be ok with all of it when he figures it out
I swear to god the same thing with the rain was happening to me a decade or so ago. Not like in the scene that the rain follows me everywhere but its started very heavy only on the point where I was standing like a 2x2 meter wide circle and I was able to step out of it. Outside it was all dry and not only one raindrop was falling there like wtf is happening here? But after a vew seconds later it begins to rain everywhere around me. I never think of this surreal event again and I told it no one but years after I see this movie it was like omg how strange.😱 But iam really shure iam not in a real life TV show because my life is too boring to be one. 😂

@@WCephei77HD oooooooo! Good point!!! Especially with the artificial weather/moisture!
It honestly wouldn’t be that hard. Truman is the only one who can’t know about it and he’s constantly monitored. As long as he’s asleep someone can be up there rigging lights in broad daylight.
They engineered the fear of the ocean in Truman at a young age.
you got to feel for Marlon tho, all of his life babysittig Truman none of the sympathy or glory
I get goosebumps watching the opening credits.
At first sight that I saw this movie I felt a horrible martyrdom living in a completely false world but I see that in reality, although everything is a montage, TRUMAN is a unique person in that world who lives his own life, but instead while the thousands of actors who They are only filler in that world and in people it is to be crazy to dedicate a good part of their life making a double life that is guiding those pamphlets of that false world of truman as well as both the creator of that program and his workers create the reality of only one character and I also want to mention lastly that billions of people around the world are so focused and dedicated seeing the life of only one person, who is truman although his truman life was false but he lived his own life and not as the rest of the filler actors, the creator and workers of the show and also the billions of viewers watching a whole life of just one person.
but it also makes an allegory of our real world
a noble life as a deciever
During his commute to work, I feel like I could see a ton people looking at him.
"It's a life" Yea but who wants to live a fake life? The Creator got a massive ego for sure.
Why is it who?
Truman could tell everything was fake way before suspicion of his suspicion
Omg bob looks so young 😍🌱 ( any fans of 911 TV's show got that one ?)
A college buddy in 2002 told me, "Look, I want you to watch this movie," I won't tell you what is": The Truman Show, an epiphany for me.
Imagine finding the inconsistencies of this world and being blocked or manipulated into believing in a fake script, yeah like truman did, just imagine
Great movie
This is hilarious
This surreal
More real
To the viewers Truman is real, but for Truman nothing is real.
Truman is the only person in the whole world who lives his own life in exchange for billions of human beings watching a boring eternal "Truman show" and also worth mentioning the extra inhabitants who are not even living their own life because they are extra actors in that world.
6:09 same as my father when he opened a can of beer in the other room, secretly from my mother cooking in the kitchen 🤣
Kaiser chicken lol mega zooommm
The ultimate slice of life show
Big Brother was crazy af!
It’s pretty evident now that we’re all in the Truman Show.
I always wondered if his college degree was worth anything outside of show? Or what kind of education did he have? was it top notch?
AND
Also I always wondered if the marriage was real? Was the pastor a real pastor or just an actor pretending to be a pastor to marry them?
Was wondering the same thing. It must've been a college in the same place.
Pastor was just an actor.
please take longer for each title screen I would love that
Amusing where oh where the first ad appears…. Closely followed by, “Nothing is fake.. it’s just controlled.”
Oh, it’s Peter Krause
Meryl: “The Truman Show is a truly blessed life.”
Me: 🙂😅😂🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🥲
In the end we over come everything
Now this is big brother
One whole minute of NOTHING at the end? You left me hanging like a wet, soft... noodle.
🤣🤣🤣
Imagine if the dogs were also actors and their aware of what’s going on
its the critters 2 set...
bradley brown is back in town, the boy who called critter
6:07 Only Jim Carrey could make tearing a page out of a magazine so hilarious.
Christof has an almost perfect name... almost. :)
2:44 You had one job..
"...it's a life"
so naturally that means let's essentially imprison him, control or manipulate damn near every single aspect of his life, put it all on live TV without his knowing and expect him to just be ok with all of it when he figures it out
This is better than the movie
I swear to god the same thing with the rain was happening to me a decade or so ago.
Not like in the scene that the rain follows me everywhere but its started very heavy only on the point where I was standing like a 2x2 meter wide circle and I was able to step out of it.
Outside it was all dry and not only one raindrop was falling there like wtf is happening here?
But after a vew seconds later it begins to rain everywhere around me.
I never think of this surreal event again and I told it no one but years after I see this movie it was like omg how strange.😱
But iam really shure iam not in a real life TV show because my life is too boring to be one. 😂
the shot at 9:39 is so damn good
WOW a near death experience/many
Our world...
A dystopian fantasy about reality tv before it existed. Today, this concept is absolutely ridiculous but its still a fun movie.
be careful of he who watches you through the window
Ah yes after 10minutes and 35 second in this video : a minutes of blank dark screen
Jim can you help William please. He has a pure soul and that is what they want.
6:22 he's the nazi when Seinfeld is in the limo.
Truman was living in a Matrix within The Matrix.
Bad ass
It's almost as if this movie comments, to a degree, on the "reality" shows that permeate the network line-ups.
