This movie might have been the most "ahead of its time" I've ever seen. It has really aged well, IMHO. So many themes of the internet age that hadn't really happened yet. Genius film.

I love that you like it that we can’t see what happens after he exits the set. I love that, too, for the same reason you did. This is one of my all time favorite movies, and you two are my favorite reactors, so I was really glad to see this video. 42:45 You’re so right about fake people being everywhere. I recently learned that studies show at least 1.2 percent of men, possibly more like five percent, and at least about 0.5 percent of women, are psychopaths. Five percent is 50 of every 1000 people. Be careful. People need to EARN your trust.
Nice reaction! Thanks. I'm one of the people thinking Truman already knows something is wrong already at the beginning of the movie. He just discovers he's the ONLY one during the movie. He plays a role, greeting the neighbors with the famous "Good morning, good afternoon" and so on, he gets push against the wall by the two guys, etc. The only thing he doesn't know is how the hell to get out of that prison. When he sees his "father" he loses it, since it's the proof of the hoax. So he goes on playing and he also "kidnap" his wife so to find a way out. When the cop recognizes him I figured he can't go out with the help of nobody, so he plans to do it by himself. He liked Silvia? Yes, but he used her as a decoy to divert the attention from his escape plan and when he realizes his water fear is induced by a fake death, played by an actor, he leaves screaming at the cameras to do better to stop him! That's why he greets anyone with "Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!", to mock them, as saying "You thought you were acting, but I was the best actor." He pretended a life while all the actors were living a real one with him, sleeping with him (wife), working with him as colleagues and being his friend as his friend. And he's a better actor. When he sees her wife's fingers crossed he proves it again. And then people... have you tried to clap your hands in a shop? Nobody looks at you? Another proof he looked for, to check if his friend is totally involved. Of course, he didn't know it all along, he discovered it at young age I think.
Some people might think that Christof's request to Truman at the end of the movie was rediculous, because why would Truman agree? Truman knows it is fake, the viewers know it is fake. Who would even watch it then? But in reality, there is also a similar show named "Big Brother", where people go and live together in a fake environment, knowing that everything is fake and people are watching the show also perfectly knowing that the actors in that show perfectly know it is fake too. But people still watch it for some reason. I guess humans are just weird. 😅
I love this movie.. it also kind of shows the volatile relationship of fathers and sons... the creator thought of himself as Truman's father... and he wasn't going to give his son up, even if it killed him... this movie has many levels. As always, great reaction. Thank you. 😊 You guys are becoming my favorite reaction channel.
The creator wanted to keep running the show to get money and promotions so he allowed for his fake father be written back in after he snuck back in. He needed to manipulate Truman to stay by doing this.
You two are the best reactors for two specific reasons. First, you actually watch the movie and react without talking over the dialogue. If you have something to say, you always pause it. I don't know how many times people talk over a critical point in the movie and then get confused by what's going on later. People also miss some of the favorite lines or jokes that we've been waiting for them to react to, but they miss it. Secondly, you don't ever chime in on your personal philosophies as an ongoing commentary some people constantly do. We're here to watch you watch a movie that we already love. So well done ladies! You do it right. By the way, I'd love it if you watched the 1978 movie "Foul Play" with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. It's super great. You two would love it.
This is one of three "serious" movies made by JC: The Cable Guy, The Truman Show, The Man on the Moon. They are three masterpieces. Good you have one of them 👍 Oh and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ... but it goes into RomCom.
VH ladies and Ryl, you just went a notch up in my book with singing Blondie. Jyn, please, enthrall yourself in Blondie. Great reaction again and see you for the next one. Byyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeee.
Great reaction! Another great Jim Carrey movie with a crazy mind-bending premise is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, can't recommend it enough, I think it's a great choice for reaction channels if you haven't seen it!
Girls, its a total spoof of reality TV years before reality TV was everywhere. Think about it. You are so used to Reality TV everywhere that you take it for granted. MTVs Real World, Survivor, The dozens and dozens of ridiculous Reality TV shows. The Real Wives of blah blah blah etc. This movie is genius because it raises all the issues of Reality TV, just in the extreme ultimate way. But now you need to watch THE very first movie done about reality TV. Its called REAL LIFE, directed by Albert Brooks. Filmed in the mid 70s. 30 years before reality TV. Its hilarious.
this movie is great. so important for people to watch it. I'm very glad both of you realized the absolute evil of these show-makers. Many reactors are like "I am starting to think they shouldn't be doing this." lol Those reactions make me sick thinking people are so oblivious to one of the worst evils ever to walk this earth. If people realize that all the crew and actors on the show, all their incomes are dependent 100% on Truman remaining "in his place." So when you see them in the end come together and start marching to hunt him down like a lynch mob of "friends and family," it should make very clear how horrifying his perspective must be. They have MUCH motivation to break, oppress, and keep him obedient. Thousands leeching off of one. Ayn Rand to the 10th power. Another thing I think people miss is when he finds his dad again, he says "i never stopped believing." THEN he hugs him and looks sad, terrible, and cries - not happy tears but sad tears. There's a reason for that. His heart is breaking because in that moment, while they're framing their "oscar shot," he's realizing internally that his father is ALSO part of the scam. His father was his last hope of real family/love since everyone was working to keep his father away, it would see to him like his father was the rogue agent not part of the conspiracy. But at that point, he realizes his father is part of the sham, too. At that point he was realizing they were all fake, from wife to mother to friend to father.
Check out "the real Japanese Truman show", Nasubi. I think that's how you spell his name. My favorite narrator just finished a little documentary on it a few days ago. Search the quote above on your free time if you are interested. (If you hear a Scottish accent that's the guy) 👍😊
As others have noted, the premise of this movie was pretty well known going in, so people didn't get caught up in the sinister nature of the setup in which Truman was place - this allowed the movie to be seen more of as an absurd comedic drama. So back then, it was a crazy premise and a fun ride watching it unfold.
If you watch what is in the the camera angles and listen to what the people are talking about, what is actually happening is it is peppered product placement. The Truman Show version of advertising. Real TV shows and movies do it all the time. If you see something with the brand name or company logo on it in a TV show or movie that is product placement and that company paid to have their product promoted in that way. Apple does it a lot, I mean all the time. That is why you see iPhones and Apple computers in movies and TV shows so much.
Honestly, it could he argued that mass media only exists for product advertisement. Watch the old Beverly Hillbillies, Honeymooners, etc... and the had placement was done exactly like what was shown here. It's made to he less overt today with logos being clearly seen in frame but advertisement has come first with entertainment coming second since the beginning.
One of my favorite Jim Carey movies!!! Some other movies with similar themes are Dark City, and Videodrome. I think the movie Videodrome predicited some aspects of social media today.
For an outstanding but VERY different Jim Carrey experience, try Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Also has a brilliant turn from Kate Winslet (who's almost always brilliant).
The handsy twins were putting Truman up against an advertisement for the cameras. He is often used as a vehicle for advertising throughout the film, just like your UA-cam videos 😅 at least you know it’s happening though
This movie was not like the other Jim Carrey Movies. I saw this in the theater with my friends back in those olden times. We came out a bit be-fuddled expecting something weird and outlandish. But now that I am older I see it's a movie ahead of its time.
It’s the most popular dramatic Jim Carrey movie. Everybody loves this movie, it had a great affect on the world… however it didn’t have a positive mental impact on the world. People started to think that they were being watched by the whole world too
… also, I need to add that all Jim Carrey movies are different from eachother. He’s one of the only comedians who’s versatile and plays different characters in all of his movies. That’s one reason why he’s the best
@@nsasupporter7557 Where do you live? Not everybody "loves" the film. It did not affect the world and nobody went paranoid from watching it either. C'mon, Bro!

I love this movie, which is essentially a dystopian science-fiction story, and I think the last scene (“What else is on?”) is one of the best in movie history. However, the basic idea was not original. In my opinion, it was stolen from Philip K. Dick’s science-fiction novel, “Time Out of Joint” (1959). Dick is the author of books and stories that have been made into many films, including “Blade Runner,” “Minority Report,” “Total Recall,” and others.
The creator of the show decided who he wanted Truman to be married to. Meeting " Meryl ", who was an actress, not a real person was forced on him. They were controlling his whole life on a closed in set without him knowing it. Everyone were actors and actresses. Sylvia tried explaining it to him but they didn't want him to know. That's why they took her away. His parents weren't even his real parents. His real mother didn't want to have a baby so she gave him away to them. It's all explained in the movie. Sylvia isn't in Fiji. They lied to Truman saying where they were taking her.
I remember watching this when it came out and the general emotion was different than I see from your generation. It's really interesting. We were rooting for Truman, but you guys get angry. Maybe because it was such a foreign concept and it seems more possible now. Back then, I think MTV Real World was the only thing resembling reality TV and most people I was around thought that was stupid. It's just cool to see how people roughly the same age watching it 25 years apart have such different visceral reactions. LOL Well done!
The patient reacted like that because they weren't actually a patient and they werent actually asleep so they didn't expect to have their leg almost amputated when it was all supposed to be fake..
The part that messes with me is, the girl from college that he's in love with, and she's in love with him.... WHY DIDN"T THEY JUST LET THEM GET MARRIED and let that be the continuation of Truman's story? They literally could've allowed the two people who actually love each other, one of them being the main character, to just play it out naturally, and Truman would've just lived in the town forever, happy, with no care to his surroundings at all. So dumb.
Sylvia didn't seem like the type to sign a contract and commit the rest of her life to the show. The rest of the cast were already signed on and the producers and everyone else were ready to go ahead.
@@honovy4393 Literally everyone on the show signed up to commit their lives to the show. It was just happy accident that Her and Truman got on. Let them have it, is what I'm saying. It's dumb to not.
I love this movie so much. I can't believe you hadn't had the premise ruined for you already. It is still so relevant. If you're looking for more good Jim Carrey films to watch, I recommend "I Love You, Philip Morris" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".
Since we don't get to see what happens after Truman leaves I will speculate... Truman would likely meet up with "Silvia". With nowhere else to go she'll take him back to her place and show him how she spent her life as Free Truman activist. Truman will now be world famous and would likely not be able to freely exist in the general public. He would also be financially set. No worries about needing job. Susan and Truman would likely come up with the idea of actually following through with the crazy suggestion of moving to Fiji. It is a very remote part of the world away from most people and rather expensive. But not to worry since they are loaded with money. Truman and Susan, adamant on privacy and independence, live out the rest of their lives unrecorded, photographed and most likely childless sipping on cocktails living that beach life. Until boredom sets in about 10 years later. Devoid of TV, Truman catches wind from some local tourists, who are more vested in watching a show on their cell phones rather than enjoying a 2,000 dollar per night Cabana, that there's been a new reality show created. With not one but several young kids being brought up on their own reality show unbeknown to them. Truman rushes back to tell Susan all about it. Enraged and with nothing better to do, with tons of money and resources, they set out to "free" these new kids from their fake invented TV show prison's. And maybe after they succeed society decides to move on making all forms of visual media obsolete as entertainment. Which brings us back around to the way of life we see on Star Trek :)
@@tamarleigh lmao I don't know. I missed her name and was too lazy to research it and change it in my post. I saw someone called her silvia in a comment and edited that. Don't know what inspired me to say susan heh
27:59 » this platform kinda became that ─ except for the fact that people know they're doing it and why they're doing it (i mean exhibiting their whole lives or a bit of it)
I love watching reactions to this movie where the reactors don't know anything about it beforehand. There are two things that I don't like about it: 1) The actor who plays Christof, Ed Harris, is only 11 years older than Jim Carrey. He seems way too young to have started the Truman Show; 2) Not seeing Truman and Silvia reunite.
Syvia was probably contracted to be a flirty extra, whileas "Meryl" was contracted to play Truman's wife, & probably renegotiated her contract when Christoff wanted her to give birth to Truman's child! Everyone are actors. "Mom" & "dad" were contracted to take the designated newborn out of the real hospital & across LA to the domed set. Truman has never seen a real sky, a real sunset; or anything else that isn't staged using actors & special effects! The studio light imitating a star in a constellation fell because saboteurs (like Sylvia) have been undermining the show. Because, although the outside world is clearly dystopian, a movement exists to *free* him! The set fills the giant dome visible from space. Seahaven Island plus the token mainland, with its fake nuclear power plant, is the set. I'd imagine the mainland is mainly a staging area & storage facility for large, practical props like cars & trucks that visit the island. The fake cop who inexplicably knew Truman's name was probably a bit actor who wanted a role on the show, & two hours before his appearance was in his living room enjoying the show when he got a frantic call! The Truman Bar is no different than if dedicated fans of Star Wars created a bar decorated to resemble the Catina from Episode 4! Staff wear makeup to resemble aliens... Thirty years on the air... I'd imagine audience pushback forces the studio to give him his overdue 30 years' back pay! The fans were invested in Truman's life for 30 years. When he started rejecting his fake world, his *true* fans rooted for him to rebel, to escape his prison. A fan theory is that his pal Marlon was a similar victim, an involuntary child actor who'd likewise grown up onset. His absence spent "traveling" was at rehab overcoming his imposed alcoholism. A cut scene even showed Marlon finding Truman, but not stopping him! P.s., about the patient's reaction during the fake operation? Scalpels are super ridiculously sharp. Just resting the blade on the unsuspecting extra's knee was super painful! Poor Meryl... Normally, "the hospital" was where she got to rest off camera; & talk to family & friends. Instead, Truman's unpredictability forced her to participate in a bogus operation! I imagine the hallways & rooms existed in the hospital for injuries. Real doctors are brought in & prepped. They stay in character as a resident of the town the whole time that Truman is in the room. Did either one of you think the strait separating island from mainland looks fake as hell?
The closest thing we have to the Truman show is the mommy vloggers shoving a camera in a child's face from the moment they're born without their consent. There have been children that have grown up and have started speaking out about how terrible it is and how it has affected the rest of their lives.
You two are the only reactors I've seen who understood the reasoning why no one is supposed to see what happens to Truman when he leaves. Virtual hug.🤼
This is a great movie, but I think the plot should've been explained a bit better in the beginning. When the movie came out it was explained in the promotions so everyone knew what they were getting into.
Think about it! He's been the star of a hit show 24/7 for decades! Even at Union scale wage, he is owed a lot of back pay.
Less decades of room and board. 😂
Nah, lawsuits galore. For example, children are only allowed to be filmed for a small time. Its why do many infants and toddlers in shows are played by twins, like Mary Kate and Ashley Olson both playing Michelle on Full House. Each one could only legally he in front if the camera a certain amount. To be sure, they grossly exceeded that with Truman.
Repeat to yourself that "It's just a show, I should really just relax".

Yep - I saw this in the theater and that was a gaspworthy blowout ending.

If i recall right its the difference between a policeman and a police officer, the first covers comman law the latter covers corperate law....something like that...
I love that you like it that we can’t see what happens after he exits the set. I love that, too, for the same reason you did.
This is one of my all time favorite movies, and you two are my favorite reactors, so I was really glad to see this video.
42:45 You’re so right about fake people being everywhere. I recently learned that studies show at least 1.2 percent of men, possibly more like five percent, and at least about 0.5 percent of women, are psychopaths. Five percent is 50 of every 1000 people. Be careful. People need to EARN your trust.
Total recall. Also a great movie
Nice reaction! Thanks.
I'm one of the people thinking Truman already knows something is wrong already at the beginning of the movie. He just discovers he's the ONLY one during the movie.
He plays a role, greeting the neighbors with the famous "Good morning, good afternoon" and so on, he gets push against the wall by the two guys, etc. The only thing he doesn't know is how the hell to get out of that prison.
When he sees his "father" he loses it, since it's the proof of the hoax. So he goes on playing and he also "kidnap" his wife so to find a way out. When the cop recognizes him I figured he can't go out with the help of nobody, so he plans to do it by himself.
He liked Silvia? Yes, but he used her as a decoy to divert the attention from his escape plan and when he realizes his water fear is induced by a fake death, played by an actor, he leaves screaming at the cameras to do better to stop him!
That's why he greets anyone with "Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!", to mock them, as saying "You thought you were acting, but I was the best actor." He pretended a life while all the actors were living a real one with him, sleeping with him (wife), working with him as colleagues and being his friend as his friend.
And he's a better actor. When he sees her wife's fingers crossed he proves it again.
And then people... have you tried to clap your hands in a shop? Nobody looks at you? Another proof he looked for, to check if his friend is totally involved.
Of course, he didn't know it all along, he discovered it at young age I think.
😂 Great catch!! With the " did he Ferris Beuller them? " Lol
Some people might think that Christof's request to Truman at the end of the movie was rediculous, because why would Truman agree? Truman knows it is fake, the viewers know it is fake. Who would even watch it then? But in reality, there is also a similar show named "Big Brother", where people go and live together in a fake environment, knowing that everything is fake and people are watching the show also perfectly knowing that the actors in that show perfectly know it is fake too. But people still watch it for some reason. I guess humans are just weird. 😅
I love this movie.. it also kind of shows the volatile relationship of fathers and sons... the creator thought of himself as Truman's father... and he wasn't going to give his son up, even if it killed him... this movie has many levels. As always, great reaction. Thank you. 😊 You guys are becoming my favorite reaction channel.
The creator wanted to keep running the show to get money and promotions so he allowed for his fake father be written back in after he snuck back in. He needed to manipulate Truman to stay by doing this.
You two are the best reactors for two specific reasons. First, you actually watch the movie and react without talking over the dialogue. If you have something to say, you always pause it. I don't know how many times people talk over a critical point in the movie and then get confused by what's going on later. People also miss some of the favorite lines or jokes that we've been waiting for them to react to, but they miss it. Secondly, you don't ever chime in on your personal philosophies as an ongoing commentary some people constantly do. We're here to watch you watch a movie that we already love. So well done ladies! You do it right. By the way, I'd love it if you watched the 1978 movie "Foul Play" with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. It's super great. You two would love it.
have you seen the movie "the blues brothers"?
Its the penopticon that we live in these digital days
You guys should check both "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "The Majestic".
This is one of three "serious" movies made by JC: The Cable Guy, The Truman Show, The Man on the Moon. They are three masterpieces. Good you have one of them 👍
Oh and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ... but it goes into RomCom.
And today we all live in that show, but because it's global we can't even try to escape anymore 😅
VH ladies and Ryl, you just went a notch up in my book with singing Blondie. Jyn, please, enthrall yourself in Blondie. Great reaction again and see you for the next one. Byyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeee.
You beat me to it.
Great reaction! Another great Jim Carrey movie with a crazy mind-bending premise is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, can't recommend it enough, I think it's a great choice for reaction channels if you haven't seen it!
“Maybe he should kill everyone” got a good laugh out of me.
Fiji mentioned - see you at the market square (somewhere)!
Girls, its a total spoof of reality TV years before reality TV was everywhere. Think about it. You are so used to Reality TV everywhere that you take it for granted. MTVs Real World, Survivor, The dozens and dozens of ridiculous Reality TV shows. The Real Wives of blah blah blah etc. This movie is genius because it raises all the issues of Reality TV, just in the extreme ultimate way.
But now you need to watch THE very first movie done about reality TV. Its called REAL LIFE, directed by Albert Brooks. Filmed in the mid 70s. 30 years before reality TV. Its hilarious.
Virtual Hug ❤
A reaction to a reaction to a reaction. Crazy 🤪
You two have become two of my favorite reactors. Keep up the great work ❤
"Kill everyone" was actually very high in the list of the possible outcomes
You girls have good taste in the movies you watch. Always a pleasure to rewatch something with your reactions.
I hate my desk job but I work from home and I get to watch your videos while I work so that’s why I’m still working my desk job. 😅
💜
this movie is great. so important for people to watch it. I'm very glad both of you realized the absolute evil of these show-makers. Many reactors are like "I am starting to think they shouldn't be doing this." lol Those reactions make me sick thinking people are so oblivious to one of the worst evils ever to walk this earth.
If people realize that all the crew and actors on the show, all their incomes are dependent 100% on Truman remaining "in his place." So when you see them in the end come together and start marching to hunt him down like a lynch mob of "friends and family," it should make very clear how horrifying his perspective must be. They have MUCH motivation to break, oppress, and keep him obedient. Thousands leeching off of one. Ayn Rand to the 10th power.
Another thing I think people miss is when he finds his dad again, he says "i never stopped believing." THEN he hugs him and looks sad, terrible, and cries - not happy tears but sad tears. There's a reason for that. His heart is breaking because in that moment, while they're framing their "oscar shot," he's realizing internally that his father is ALSO part of the scam. His father was his last hope of real family/love since everyone was working to keep his father away, it would see to him like his father was the rogue agent not part of the conspiracy. But at that point, he realizes his father is part of the sham, too. At that point he was realizing they were all fake, from wife to mother to friend to father.
One of those films that really make you think, it seems so far away from reality but also so close. Great movie
"First child to be legally adopted by a corporation."
"They can't do that!"
Me: Time for Kurt Russel's Soldier.
Great movie. Soldier 1998
You'd probably like "The Majestic," also with Jim.
🥳 my evening is saved! Thanks 👍
Check out "the real Japanese Truman show", Nasubi. I think that's how you spell his name. My favorite narrator just finished a little documentary on it a few days ago. Search the quote above on your free time if you are interested. (If you hear a Scottish accent that's the guy) 👍😊
I'm glad you liked it!
As others have noted, the premise of this movie was pretty well known going in, so people didn't get caught up in the sinister nature of the setup in which Truman was place - this allowed the movie to be seen more of as an absurd comedic drama. So back then, it was a crazy premise and a fun ride watching it unfold.
If you watch what is in the the camera angles and listen to what the people are talking about, what is actually happening is it is peppered product placement.
The Truman Show version of advertising.
Real TV shows and movies do it all the time.
If you see something with the brand name or company logo on it in a TV show or movie that is product placement and that company paid to have their product promoted in that way.
Apple does it a lot, I mean all the time.
That is why you see iPhones and Apple computers in movies and TV shows so much.
Honestly, it could he argued that mass media only exists for product advertisement. Watch the old Beverly Hillbillies, Honeymooners, etc... and the had placement was done exactly like what was shown here. It's made to he less overt today with logos being clearly seen in frame but advertisement has come first with entertainment coming second since the beginning.
I hope you guys are there of your own will and thanks for the video!
10:20 A reaction to a reaction to a reaction 😂
Think Jim Carrey ever watches reactions to this movie 🤔
One of my favorite Jim Carey movies!!!
Some other movies with similar themes are Dark City, and Videodrome.
I think the movie Videodrome predicited some aspects of social media today.
Yes!! He “Ferris Buell we’d him “!! 😂❤🎉
Check out his performance in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ". Fantastic movie!!
21:57
Good to know I'm not alone. I would definitely watch that movie.
Not sure if you guys have seen it but another great Jim Carey movie is Me, Myself, and Irene. Highly recommend
Virtual hug
you guys didnt notice all the ads that were placed
Next time
Jyn x Ryl streaming 24/7/365 forever!!!!
Somebody owes Truman a LOT of money
For an outstanding but VERY different Jim Carrey experience, try Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Also has a brilliant turn from Kate Winslet (who's almost always brilliant).
21:57 that caught me off guard, damn, I was having my tea haha
10:48 And now, I’m reacting to you, reacting to us reacting to you, reacting to the people reacting to The Truman Show.
Great reaction. :)
When Truman said Rolling Stone, he was not referring to the group. there’s an old American saying “a rolling stone gathers no moss”.
This was the most popular dramatic Jim Carrey movie
The handsy twins were putting Truman up against an advertisement for the cameras. He is often used as a vehicle for advertising throughout the film, just like your UA-cam videos 😅 at least you know it’s happening though
You all are reading our reaction to your reactions, which is a chain reaction 😆
This movie was not like the other Jim Carrey Movies. I saw this in the theater with my friends back in those olden times. We came out a bit be-fuddled expecting something weird and outlandish. But now that I am older I see it's a movie ahead of its time.
It’s the most popular dramatic Jim Carrey movie. Everybody loves this movie, it had a great affect on the world… however it didn’t have a positive mental impact on the world. People started to think that they were being watched by the whole world too
… also, I need to add that all Jim Carrey movies are different from eachother. He’s one of the only comedians who’s versatile and plays different characters in all of his movies. That’s one reason why he’s the best
@@nsasupporter7557 Where do you live? Not everybody "loves" the film. It did not affect the world and nobody went paranoid from watching it either. C'mon, Bro!
@@tuffs4it where do you live, on planet Pluto?? This movie predicted the future of where we would be! You must have your head up your ass or live on Pluto… and don’t call me bro.
@@tuffs4it where do you live, on planet Pluto? This is one of the most popular movies ever made and it predicted the future as well as made a mental impact on people. And don’t call me bro, don’t ever call me that
Good evening ladies..lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻❄️
oh this will be fun im ready lets go guys
when the big light fell and crashed on the ground near the beginning it was labeled sirius 9 canis or something it was a light pretending to be a star
its hard out there but virtual hug
This movie was preducting the coming boom of reality tv.
This was a rough reaction. 😂 you guys got so mad at the end. 🤣😭
Yep. "what else is on". one of the most disturbing lines in movie history.
32:32 Well, there's people that do sleeping streams on Twitch, and some streams go on for multiple days straight. We're not far off.
I love this movie, which is essentially a dystopian science-fiction story, and I think the last scene (“What else is on?”) is one of the best in movie history. However, the basic idea was not original. In my opinion, it was stolen from Philip K. Dick’s science-fiction novel, “Time Out of Joint” (1959). Dick is the author of books and stories that have been made into many films, including “Blade Runner,” “Minority Report,” “Total Recall,” and others.
Ah, yes! PKD, the master of "what is reality?" and "what is human?" themed stories.
I loved that movie
6:43 Oh. Sure. I've had days like that. 🤷♂
The creator of the show decided who he wanted Truman to be married to. Meeting " Meryl ", who was an actress, not a real person was forced on him. They were controlling his whole life on a closed in set without him knowing it. Everyone were actors and actresses. Sylvia tried explaining it to him but they didn't want him to know. That's why they took her away. His parents weren't even his real parents. His real mother didn't want to have a baby so she gave him away to them. It's all explained in the movie. Sylvia isn't in Fiji. They lied to Truman saying where they were taking her.
I remember watching this when it came out and the general emotion was different than I see from your generation. It's really interesting. We were rooting for Truman, but you guys get angry. Maybe because it was such a foreign concept and it seems more possible now. Back then, I think MTV Real World was the only thing resembling reality TV and most people I was around thought that was stupid. It's just cool to see how people roughly the same age watching it 25 years apart have such different visceral reactions. LOL
Well done!
Truman would never have a normal life because even outside the show he's incredibly famous. Wouldn't mind seeing a sequel
LOL u sicko.
It's OVER with the guy's life on TV. Get over it !
You guys should watch more jim carry the grinch. ace ventura. The mask liar liar. Lol also serias of unfortunate events
The patient reacted like that because they weren't actually a patient and they werent actually asleep so they didn't expect to have their leg almost amputated when it was all supposed to be fake..
The part that messes with me is, the girl from college that he's in love with, and she's in love with him.... WHY DIDN"T THEY JUST LET THEM GET MARRIED and let that be the continuation of Truman's story? They literally could've allowed the two people who actually love each other, one of them being the main character, to just play it out naturally, and Truman would've just lived in the town forever, happy, with no care to his surroundings at all. So dumb.
Sylvia didn't seem like the type to sign a contract and commit the rest of her life to the show. The rest of the cast were already signed on and the producers and everyone else were ready to go ahead.
@@honovy4393 Literally everyone on the show signed up to commit their lives to the show. It was just happy accident that Her and Truman got on. Let them have it, is what I'm saying. It's dumb to not.
Because the producers knew if there was real love the risk would be too great of her revealing the truth, as she did.
3:46
Jyn! 🤣
I love this movie so much. I can't believe you hadn't had the premise ruined for you already. It is still so relevant. If you're looking for more good Jim Carrey films to watch, I recommend "I Love You, Philip Morris" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".
What are you talking about? The movie starts by telling you what the premise is.
@@subliminallime4321 I should've worded it differently. I shouldn't have said " premise", but "goal". Sorry. I haven't slept in 48 hours.
Since we don't get to see what happens after Truman leaves I will speculate...
Truman would likely meet up with "Silvia". With nowhere else to go she'll take him back to her place and show him how she spent her life as Free Truman activist.
Truman will now be world famous and would likely not be able to freely exist in the general public. He would also be financially set. No worries about needing job.
Susan and Truman would likely come up with the idea of actually following through with the crazy suggestion of moving to Fiji. It is a very remote part of the world away from most people and rather expensive. But not to worry since they are loaded with money.
Truman and Susan, adamant on privacy and independence, live out the rest of their lives unrecorded, photographed and most likely childless sipping on cocktails living that beach life.
Until boredom sets in about 10 years later. Devoid of TV, Truman catches wind from some local tourists, who are more vested in watching a show on their cell phones rather than enjoying a 2,000 dollar per night Cabana, that there's been a new reality show created. With not one but several young kids being brought up on their own reality show unbeknown to them.
Truman rushes back to tell Susan all about it. Enraged and with nothing better to do, with tons of money and resources, they set out to "free" these new kids from their fake invented TV show prison's.
And maybe after they succeed society decides to move on making all forms of visual media obsolete as entertainment. Which brings us back around to the way of life we see on Star Trek :)
Why are you calling her Susan?
@@tamarleigh lmao I don't know. I missed her name and was too lazy to research it and change it in my post. I saw someone called her silvia in a comment and edited that. Don't know what inspired me to say susan heh
27:59 » this platform kinda became that ─ except for the fact that people know they're doing it and why they're doing it (i mean exhibiting their whole lives or a bit of it)
YALL SHOULD DO THE MOVIE THE BRONX TALE 1993
I love watching reactions to this movie where the reactors don't know anything about it beforehand. There are two things that I don't like about it: 1) The actor who plays Christof, Ed Harris, is only 11 years older than Jim Carrey. He seems way too young to have started the Truman Show; 2) Not seeing Truman and Silvia reunite.
Syvia was probably contracted to be a flirty extra, whileas "Meryl" was contracted to play Truman's wife, & probably renegotiated her contract when Christoff wanted her to give birth to Truman's child!
Everyone are actors. "Mom" & "dad" were contracted to take the designated newborn out of the real hospital & across LA to the domed set. Truman has never seen a real sky, a real sunset; or anything else that isn't staged using actors & special effects!
The studio light imitating a star in a constellation fell because saboteurs (like Sylvia) have been undermining the show. Because, although the outside world is clearly dystopian, a movement exists to *free* him!
The set fills the giant dome visible from space. Seahaven Island plus the token mainland, with its fake nuclear power plant, is the set. I'd imagine the mainland is mainly a staging area & storage facility for large, practical props like cars & trucks that visit the island. The fake cop who inexplicably knew Truman's name was probably a bit actor who wanted a role on the show, & two hours before his appearance was in his living room enjoying the show when he got a frantic call!
The Truman Bar is no different than if dedicated fans of Star Wars created a bar decorated to resemble the Catina from Episode 4! Staff wear makeup to resemble aliens...
Thirty years on the air... I'd imagine audience pushback forces the studio to give him his overdue 30 years' back pay!
The fans were invested in Truman's life for 30 years. When he started rejecting his fake world, his *true* fans rooted for him to rebel, to escape his prison.
A fan theory is that his pal Marlon was a similar victim, an involuntary child actor who'd likewise grown up onset. His absence spent "traveling" was at rehab overcoming his imposed alcoholism. A cut scene even showed Marlon finding Truman, but not stopping him!
P.s., about the patient's reaction during the fake operation? Scalpels are super ridiculously sharp. Just resting the blade on the unsuspecting extra's knee was super painful!
Poor Meryl... Normally, "the hospital" was where she got to rest off camera; & talk to family & friends. Instead, Truman's unpredictability forced her to participate in a bogus operation!
I imagine the hallways & rooms existed in the hospital for injuries. Real doctors are brought in & prepped. They stay in character as a resident of the town the whole time that Truman is in the room.
Did either one of you think the strait separating island from mainland looks fake as hell?
I think i would stay in the show if i was Truman.
What if earth is just an intergalactic television show? Like that one South Park episode lol
Have you seen the trailer for Young Royals season 3? 💙💜
No we haven’t
@@JynxRylwould love to see you react to it 😍!
10:30 so meta 😄💖
The closest thing we have to the Truman show is the mommy vloggers shoving a camera in a child's face from the moment they're born without their consent. There have been children that have grown up and have started speaking out about how terrible it is and how it has affected the rest of their lives.
Do Click next, please.
27:39 hahaha : ohh nooo
They tell you it’s a show but yall forget it throughout the whole movie
You two are the only reactors I've seen who understood the reasoning why no one is supposed to see what happens to Truman when he leaves.
Virtual hug.🤼
This is a great movie, but I think the plot should've been explained a bit better in the beginning. When the movie came out it was explained in the promotions so everyone knew what they were getting into.
