[@dandychiggins7240]

We don't get to see him anymore when he leaves the studio because there are no cameras! And I just love that.

[@joepagram8287]

Also Jim Carey has talked about if we ever saw a sequel to this film it probably would be that Truman becomes miserable. I think unfortunately that makes sense as even if he and Sylvia got together, the psychological issues Truman would have of over thirty years being a test subject , would lead him to find it almost insurmountable for him to ever trust reality. Anyway as we found out in our timeline cameras are getting more prevalent and we are often seen and manipulated by others. Sorry if that’s a downer but I think it’s incredibly interesting and this film has and still does mirror what are future could become. That’s why the film ended where it needed to perfectly. Truman escaped a fake world said fuck you to a man playing god and got to something if not better, a truer reality.

[@Karamarika]

This movie was made at a time when people were questioning the limits of reality TV. The Real World started in the early 90's. Reality TV was pretty far along by 1998. This movie is a commentary on what many were thinking about it at the time - where does it end?

[@turntsnaco824]

​@@Lilithly I've watched a TON of reactions to this as it's one of my favorite movies, and a shocking majority of reactors don't understand the whole crossing-the-fingers thing. That said I kind of get the confusion because 1) it's not made super clear that's what he noticed in the photograph, most people assume they missed something more important than that, or about the ring or something - and 2) crossing your fingers doesn't REALLY mean anything, it doesn't ACTUALLY negate the marriage; it's more just like something kids do in jest, so for an adult to do it as if it has any actual significance is unusual and a bit weird. Personally I always felt like it was probably the weakest of all the clues/breadcrumbs that slowly lead him to discover the truth, that they could have just cut out and it wouldn't have felt like the movie was missing anything. I guess it does set up the callback where he says "I'll cross my fingers for ya"....but still.

[@Banyo__]

Every time I see this movie, I wonder what happens next. Truman was like what, in his 30s, so for like 30 years, "the entire world" was watching him live this scripted life. Everyone knows him, and can literally recite back to him his whole entire life and every single thing that happened to him, so when he steps into actual reality, ironically, how would he be able to interact with normal people who aren't smiling in his jaw all day and know that they just want to get to know him and who he then becomes in the real world free from production. KZbinrs like family vloggers, say this all the time...they'll go somewhere, and someone will be like, I was so happy when for your son when he finally got his drivers license, and it's like who are you and how do you know that vibes...but it's because its all out there, their lives are in a way a script that people subscribe to every day. That ----- is scary. You can't be anonymous, because everyone would want to know his story. People would be following him and telling them how much his life meant to him. I think he's literally go insane with trust issues and having to deal with an actual world where every day wasn't pleasant at all.

There was a deleted scene where Marlon actually found Truman when everybody was out looking, but didn't let on. There's a LOT of backstory that didn't make the cut - Marlon was the highest-paid actor in the world, but always felt guilty about deceiving Truman (even turning to drink), Meryl was offered a GIGANTIC bonus if she got pregnant, etc.

[@northshore1000]

I love, love, love, love, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOVE when you drop in that hilarious clip (say in a soft voice): “Daddy, chill!” My favorite moment!!!

[@AmbroseCadwell]

IIRC the actor who played Marlon said his take on the character for his performance was to think of him as being in a dark place mentally from having been raised inside the TV show since childhood himself and simultaneously genuinely liking Truman whilst having been raised in a cult-like manner to routinely betray his genuine friend. Fucked up! There's deleted scenes on KZbin where one hints at his discontent. I think Peter Weir definitely has a bunch of spiritual/religious subtext going on in this one, he's touched on those kinds of themes in the past.

[@whitewolf288]

[@slashdisco]

Ash and Hannah, so impressed by your discussion on this, especially when Ash starts theorising that some people would just prefer to live Truman's life unaware. This movie is frequently featured in beginner philosophy classes as it's an accessible introduction to the philosophical concept of ontology, i.e. the nature of existence. It was Parmenides who first asked, "What is real?". This movie, like The Matrix after it, asks questions about existentialism vs nihilism, and the struggle between truth and freedom: is the fact that you can perceive something enough to believe it's real, or is everything an illusion or an artifice? And if it's an illusion/artifice, would it be better (or 'freer') to know that, or is truth overrated and it's in fact preferable to remain blissfully ignorant inside the bubble? This was later developed further into the "simulation hypothesis" - the theory that we're all inside some sort of simulated reality. It's fascinating stuff!

[@ddavisgaming]

I've never seen anyone figure out the premise of the show as quickly as Hannah did.

[@glubtas]

This was a while ago but one good point to bring up is the star of this movie was Jim Carrey who is an extremely famous actor mostly known for his comedy work but the one thing that set him as one of if not the best actors in the world was this movie. I personally believe anyone skilled enough who can make someone laugh can also make them cry and Jim proved it with his role as Truman he just blew it out of the park with his acting.

So much of my life has changed for the better in the last few years, but I remember being in the thick of the dark times and how it felt coming out of it. Of course there was validation and excitement finally reaching what has felt like only a fignment of the imagination for a while, but there is absolutely grief having to accept that so much of your life has been robbed of you. It feels a little bit like laying to rest part of yourself. I cried watching him hit those walls today. The dang movie is like 25-26 years old and I have seen it several times before, but not since I made it out of those walls in my own life. I have grieved much over the years stolen from me, but I am beyond overjoyed with how my life looks today.

[@DaVickster1078]

Well not really. They can leave anytime they want to. Like shown in a deleted scene, Meryl didn’t renew her contract because of Truman freaking out, which meant they didn’t last forever and they could just not renew their contracts.

I spent time developing this script years ago. Initially with director Brian De Palma, then we shifted to director Peter Weir.

One of Carrey's best performances. In my opinion, his best one was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. It is in my top 5 movies of all time, and Jim Carrey completely disappears into the role. Kate Winslet is also fantastic in it.

[@mintjulius275]

Definitely on my top 5 too. I'd love for these cats to watch that one

[@spoileralertreacts1182]

I’m yet to find a reactor that understands this is a documentary. We are all Truman and Earth is the stage.

[@Nimbus1701]

Love this channel and your reactions. Congrats, you are getting close to that 100k subs. The movies you choose to react to are great and the reactions seem very genuine and the banter back and forth is pure gold!

[@andrewr5184]

If I remember correctly there was this whole thing where they cut scenes that show his best friend and wife are actually married in their own behind the scene lives and the reason his friend always drinks is because he has an alcoholic problem from being on the show so long and being fake af to Truman

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

You have to watch Jim in Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind sometime. If you want another movie about a TV show, watch Pleasantville. Really cool concept and actually a good movie.

[@sarahcampbell1115]

YES! My absolute favorite movie. They would have a wild ride watching it for sure!

[@BJBee]

That movie is incredible

[@THEvagabond29]

I love seeing you both on the same page. Ill be here for your next reactions.. much love to you from here in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

[@sinelo3965]

I love Hannah's reactions! As we say in Spain, she has blood in her veins.

[@dancole2994]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Genius movie and I've no doubt you guys will love it. Jim Carey's best serious role by far in my opinion and a great eye opener.

3:15 - lets see what else is on. This was a nod, more of a jab, at the peak of reality TV shows in the early 2000s. Most viewers would forget the stars of said shows so quickly after the final. How many viewers of Big Brother for example can name the last winner? Soon as show is over, most are forgotten

Many thanks us watching the movie say things like “why wouldn’t do this or that?” Or we question the inauthenticity of something because it doesn’t look realistic to us. Truman though doesn’t know better. His life has always been this way. Christof (Ed Harris) himself explains this nicely when he says “We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented."

[@BrianOsler]

Two things you may want to look into: A while back, there were three seasons of a show named "The Joe Schmo Show" where basically what happened is they got someone to sign up for a reality show, but it turns out that they're the only person who believes what they are filming is an actual show. The rest of the contestants are all actors that are trying to create these completely outlandish scenarios just to see how the one "Schmo" will react. In some ways, it's a bit like this show, but it's not the whole life. Second, if you really enjoy the conspiracy style stories, another good one to check out is Enemy of the State with Will Smith and Gene Hackman. It's an older movie, but it's superb.

This movie came out before reality TV was a thing. It is truly scary in a way how right it was. Hopefully we won't go this far.

[@DreadKnightDre]

Man, this movie is so fucking good. Truman's last line to Ed is the icing on top. Just after he says Trumans the only real thing in the world, Truman rebuttals with his only catchphrase in the show as a final fuck you.

[@DAM89]

Hannahs personality is awesome

[@freedom.pacific]

i used to work with a guy who busted a hole in his closet wall to escape the people that were secretly recording everything he did.. s/o all the schizophrenics who saw this movie and really vibed

[@charlie172011]

25:19 "He can't escape because bitch keeps putting nuclear fucking power plants in his way" That's just quite the phrase lmao

[@AngelRivera-de1lq]

The first time I watched this movie, I walked in while my mom and sister were watching it and didn't see the beginning where they say its a show. Big missed opportunity imo cuz I was windering if he was just going crazy with him until the big reveal. Made the movie 10 times better, and its already amazing

[@Parsa_m]

Ash you gotta add “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” on your reaction list That’s the best Jim Carrey movie And I remember I saw nightcrawler on your list Waiting for that as well dadash 😉

[@bluemilkxo]

Hanna being the queen of cinema as usual 🤣 she never misses

[@BellyriaGames]

I loved this reaction. Hannah was like exactly how I felt and why I love this movie so much. If a movie can cause such emotions its done its job. Thanks for the content as always!

[@josephirizarry5195]

I like them because you know they're fun at the bar
