Re Truman looking at his wedding photos.... What he noticed was that Meryl had her fingers crossed. I don't know if kids still do it these days, but surreptitiously crossing your fingers (usually hiding them behind your back) while making a promise meant that you weren't *actually* making that promise. It was a "cheat code," as it were, for kids -- a way to later break the promise and technically not be lying (in kids' minds, at least). "But you promised!!"... "Yeah, but I had my fingers crossed, so it didn't count!" Kid logic. So Meryl crossing her fingers in the wedding photo showed that she didn't mean her wedding vows to be real; it was just part of the role she'd been hired to play.

The moment Truman walks through the door his life becomes private. There are no more cameras on him, and we don't get to spy on his life anymore. It should also be noted that Meryl, Truman's wife, was always awkward at her "commercials." She was horrible at slipping them in discreetly, in contrast with his best friend, who always managed to be smooth about his product promotions (mainly beer.)

I feel the same way. At least let us see what you're reacting to. I know it all boils down to copyright issues so that's why they only show 3 seconds at a time (which is so annoying) but other reaction channels show longer clips but they'll superimpose a watermark on screen (also annoying when they don't have it faded enough) and they don't seem to get shut down.

I always imagine Truman met up with Sylvia and she helped him sue the production company for a lot of money. She's probably got lawyers.

This was partly inspired by Jennifer Ringley, a college student who set up web cams all over her apartment. You could go to her website and see what she was doing 24 hours a day.

Did these two pass out when the movie was explaining that people were watching Truman on TV? Because they spend almost all of this movie confused about a detail that was literally in the trailer. They are treating this like it's some massive puzzle box that you're only supposed to figure out at the end, yet the premise is right in the title. Hard to watch their befuddlement.

You should watch Falling Down starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duval. Also check out Money Train starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson.

There is a big difference between the Kardashian’s and Truman. Truman never had a choice to be monitored 24/7, nor did he know. For Truman, everyone he ever met was a creepy stalker. And everyone he never met outside the dome, creepy voyeurs. No privacy, ever. No family. No friends. Trust gone. I always considered this a serious movie. It doesn’t make me laugh, it makes me angry. I am a little disappointed that it wasn’t felt here.

What is interesting is how the Truman Show in a lot of ways predicted the future in terms of they amount of reality TV we have these days especially Big Brother but even social media and are needs and desires to watch other people living their lives through various platforms like TikTok and....KZbin.

Sylvia was Truman's True love and she loved him too so she tried to tell him and they kicked her off the show in the end he exits the studio and you see Sylvia running out of her home because he left the set and she went to find him so they can finally be together because the only thing real in his whole life was THEIR LOVE ❤

Jim Carrey’s 1st movie was a supporting role in Peggy Sue Got Married. It was the rival studio’s response to Back to the Future. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola (Godfather), so it’s pretty good. Stars Kathleen Turner and Nicholas Cage

@aquatus12 ай бұрын
The most amazing part though, is right before Truman meets his father again, when his friend is talking to him about finding him. Truman starts tearing up, not because of his friends speech, but because he realizes his best friend in the world is also in on this deception. And right after that, after Truman figures it out, only then do we, the audience, finally get confirmation of it.

It also represents that mankind cannot contain the yearn to explore. Some take comfort in their own cave, others go out and discover. They underestimated Truman's yearn to explore, and paid for it dearly.

My favorite memory with my mom happened when I took her to see this movie in the movie theater. We watched the entire movie, and at the end while he was walking across the water, she said, "wait. This wasn't about Harry Truman at all!" I laugh every time I think about that.

In 1998 I was 16 almost 17 when this movie came out. Life wasn't great-- felt very controlled at home, school felt similar like everything had already been planned out. I started to get the similar desire as Truman to escape. Having found this movie very relatable it's still one of my faves.

The bus driver was the same guy working on the ferry at the beginning, he didn't know how to drive the bus and the ferry never went anywhere normally. Even Truman and his friends truck were ads, I read that ford hadn't come out with that model year yet when the movie was filmed.

They had their moment years ago, but I think she's just an activist at that point. Just my take. I'm sure there were a lot of people who saw the immorality of the show.
