    Hey guys! 😂😂😂 damn! Y’all came for blood on this one in the comments!
    I want you all to know that I listen to all feedback, good or bad!
    I’ll do a better job of really trying to pay attention to intricacies in the plot of future movies.
    However, I won’t stop saying outlandish shit because I literally say whatever happens to pop up in my head as I’m watching 😂😂
    Love you guys a lot! Peace and love, everyone!

Is that what happened? How did we miss that?"

Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Is everyone in on it, or only select individuals? As much as you think the answers are patently obvious, not everyone's brains work the same.

They literally showed/explained the massive studio they built for him, and there’s so much background stuff like the neighbor’s trash can had a big ass camera lens poking through the front. Marlon took the candy bars out and put them back in which is why he was taking so long, he was filling time while Truman talked. The new co-worker was replacing Meryl as a love interest (the director said so), and she was a blonde in a red sweater like Sylvia because they were trying to subconsciously influence him to like her. The twins push him up to frame the advertisements on the right. In the photo album Meryl’s fingers were crossed. So many details, and layers.

    A few bits: The twins pushing against the wall was to highlight the advertisement behind him.
    His best friend "Freckles" has a few deleted scenes that show the actor playing him genuinely being destroyed by the role. Spending time in rehab and clearly being more emotionally conflicted. He even has one scene where he finds Truman during the search and lets him go. Which, IMO is a shame they removed them.
    There is also the irony of the guy running the show who leaves Truman with no privacy but jealously guards his own.
    This film is especially great on a rewatch where you can see even more blatant clues. Like the woman running the travel agent still having the tissue from her makeup being put on.

    As a semi-frequent viewer, I think the part of the audience who are frustrated by this reaction take issue with the fact that you spend so much time trying to think of ways to interject with yelling that you don’t actually REACT to what is happening because you miss it entirely.
    When you actually engage with the content of what you’re watching, you’re very entertaining. When you’re trying SO HARD to be funny, you miss a lot of what is going on and it really detracts from the experience.
    I think for a lot of people, reaction content is like sharing your favourite movie with a friend. In this case, rather than getting to see how that friend’s face lights up at the twists and turns etc., you sit there dejected as he yells over the plot with completely unrelated dick jokes.
    This movie is just drawing out more negative commentary because what is happening is literally told to you and is so obscenely obvious that it reads like you’re more interested in doing a skit than reacting to what you’re watching (which, to be clear, you’re obviously entitled to do. It is your channel!)

    We watched this in grad school in medical ethics (psychology and schizophrenia). We had the hardest year in that class, we had to learn DSM IV and DSM V. The diagnosis of schizo does fit when he starts to find out, but the fact that he was kidnapped/purchased as a "living cell", confuses that he is suffering from "kidnapped" syndrome, you live and accept/protect your terrorist who has taken you hostage (living in the town). That throws it a total 180 deg thinking it that way.

      The mental prison caused a disassociation with his true feelings and perceptions. Negative reinforcement stopped him from getting out of a situation despite his innate desire to venture out. He has entered into a schema of will-less complacency but can only keep the act up for so long. Truman isn't sick; he's being gaslit and is showing all the signs of prolonged mental abuse. . His fear of water is directly linked to his fear of abandonment. That's why the fear was doubled down on; to keep him in the Dome. That is abuse. Truman behaves like somebody with CPTSD and picked up some borderline-traits. A person who perceives they are being watched but is able to give plausible reasons, is not schizophrenic. Their behaviour is a 'schizoid affect', which has nothing to do with schizophrenia but everything to do with being manipulated under duress for an extended amount of time.
