never noticed that line before!

His best friend knowing him since they were 7 is crazy. He's been living that lie his entire life.

[@BeeWhistler]

Yeah, I always felt bad for Marlon. When Cristoff was feeding him the lines about how he’d never lie to him, Marlon looks like he hates himself for saying it. And I really think he’s telling Truman in his own way not to trust him… because Truman looks like he got the message. And yeah, I think it wouldnhave to be either that Marlon was another of those unwanted babies, or his parents casually committed him to this lifetime gig. That’s messed up.

@@BeeWhistler In one of the deleted scenes he sees Truman when they are out looking for him, but lets him go without saying anything.

One of my favorite Jim Carrey movies. other than Earth Girls are Easy, of course.

[@kiki_yagelovskaya]

Back in the day this was mind blowing and scary to us. - Nowadays IRL-streamers have made it a reality. Nevertheless it didn't become less scaring to me...

😂😂 I love this so much lol

[@cavaughngrace1488]

If you like unconventional and unusual movies, you should react to eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. Also starring Jim Carrey

[@dbc13543]

Eternal Sunshine is one of the greatest films ever made, but it tears my heart to shreds. I can't watch it very often because it utterly destroys me.

[@SiloGrain]

Nah it's boring

[@cavaughngrace1488]

@@SiloGrain Maybe to you. But she'd probably like it. Which is why I suggested it. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that she won't lol

[@lathspell87]

Eternal Sunshine is in my top 10 and is Jim Carey's best, imo.

[@lasselippert3892]

Laura Linney is absolutely outstanding.

[@asterix7842]

This is my favorite Jim Carrey movie. This was released before the big boom of reality tv shows in the US. In 2008, Popular Mechanics included this film in their list of top ten prophetic science fiction films. There is also a mental disorder called Truman Show syndrome, or Truman Show delusion, where a person believes they're being secretly recorded and broadcast on national tv.

[@PhillyBorn21]

My favorite Jim Carey movie love this movie. Hope you enjoyed it

[@Serai3]

This movie was directed by Peter Weir, and it includes one of the best of what I call the Weir Moment. It occurs in every one of his films. It's the moment when the main character experiences some wrenching, terrible emotional revelation - and the audience is _not allowed to see it._ Here, it's when Truman hits the wall and realizes his entire life has been a lie. He beats the wall and screams and weeps, and we don't get to see his face at all. I love this personal trope of Weir's. It emphasizes his deep respect for his characters, how he treats them like real people, giving them the dignity he would accord to any person in the real world - he gives them _privacy._ (Check out any of his other films and you'll find the Weir Moment in all of them, and all of them just as deep and affecting.) The reason they keep pulling Lauren away and shoving Meryl at him is because Sylvia (who plays Lauren) is an extra. She's not contracted to even speak to Truman, let alone have any kind of relationship with him, whereas Meryl has had the contract since she was a teenager (possibly since she was a child if the character is native to his town). Extras CANNOT speak to main actors on camera, not ever. If they do, either the scene has to be reshot (obviously impossible here), or the production company has to jump the hoops to get the extra into the union, and that is something they only ever do if the director decides the extra is worth including in a speaking role. (Expensive; back in the 90's when I was doing extra work, one single line would get you $535 for that day.) That's why Sylvia was banned from the set - her rebellious interaction with Truman required the production company to pay her big bucks for that unplanned scene, plus having writers retool the story to account for the aftermath. Fun fact: Both Meryl and Marlon are named for famous actors Meryl Streep and Marlon Brando. Also, according to Laura Linney (who plays Meryl), the backstory she created for her character included the fact that her contract specified a $10,000 bump every time she had sex with Truman. Acting is a complicated profession!

[@izzonj]

This movie was made before reality TV was a big thing. The Real World was on MTV but it wasn't nearly like what it would become. When we saw this we couldn't imaging that tv audiences would just watch real people just living. (Or watching people watch movies!!!) Since then The world has become The Truman Show!

[@walterpanovs]

Delightful and astute commentary, as always. Thanks. (And I get what you mean about ending it on his catchphrase but I think the way they ended it was also on-point, with the viewers just moving on to the next show. "What else is on?" That's quite telling as well. Disposable TV. Disposable lives.)

[@TheSicilianMelody]

I would quit my job to watch 24/7 the Californiablend show 😂 just kidding.....i would work part-time

[@joepolymath2308]

I would watch The Californiablend Show. 🙂

[@athos1974]

It would be better than most TV shows 😅

[@UncleQue]

Very original idea for this reaction. The mind of an artist. Well done.

[@Californiablend]

Thank you very much!

[@danielh.5116]

Yesssss! I love this movie and I love you!! Looking forward to watching this! Liked before watching gang. VVV

[@yellowblanka6058]

I had a brief obsession with Jim Carrey movies during my teenage years and "The Truman Show" really opened up my eyes to his abilities as a dramatic actor.

[@mokokawi]

I love when Truman's wife, turned around in the kitchen, with the hot chocolate 🍫 ad 😅

[@bitterzombie]

"Moon", starring Sam Rockwell, is another great mindbender movie, with great themes of the human experience. It's one of my favorites, I can't recommend it enough.

[@treystone9464]

A couple of films that are complimentary to this; the first is exactly like you were saying, where people have a 24/7 live streaming Social Media life, The Circle (2017) staring Emma Watson and Tom Hanks. Another film is the opposite, S1m0ne (2002) with Al Pacino, a producer who secretly digitally created an actress for a film and she becomes an overnight sensation.

[@drew42044]

Yes eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is a greatly underrated movie that rivals the Truman show for different approaches to film

[@zmarko]

The music in this film is outstanding.

[@badboymanry]

Bro this female is gorgeous 😍

[@Jordanthetwin]

One of my favorite films

[@atomic_hok]

The concept of this movie is absolutely terrifying, everything about this movie is so well done. I remember watching this on a field trip in highschool thinking man this movie is gonna suck boy was I wrong and I'm glad I was because this is one of the best movies ever made in my opinion.

[@nathanielhorrigan2181]

[@PaulWinkle]

Time for a reboot, get a new Truman baby!

[@muninraven3327]

I remember people saying this was ahead of it's time etc... Nope, the people who said that were probably expressing those thoughts via their "smart" devices. This was/is a dark satire of their own dystopian reality. Just magnified and somewhat broadened. Although that magnification and scope (pun) has become increasingly zoomed in. And they still have no idea. Utterly love your reactions, though. Always brining yourself into the mix, or blend if you will. ❤

[@wallaceferreira4739]

I watched the movie for the first time yesterday.

[@Rommheim1]

Great reaction!

[@Flugendorf]

An old favorite of mine, and definitely one of my most rewatched. If you're looking for recommendations, lots of the director Peter Weir's films would be excellent choices to react to - they're wowsers that tend to take the viewer out a whole new door. Fearless, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Master and Commander, The Year of Living Dangerously, The Last Wave, Witness...

[@GarbyTheCat]

My 2nd Favorite film of all time. My 1st is another Dramedy with high-concept/sci-fi/fantacy elements called Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. ALSO Jim Carrey!!

[@Randsurfer]

I watched this with my 9-year old son when it was released. We walked out of the theater, he looked around and said, "We might be in a TV show right now".

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Great reaction

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Love this movie

[@Jrbrass]

Some seem to think we all are living in a simulation. Funny, here we are watching you watching Truman.

[@arthurd6495]

It is a great movie. Doesn't feel dated today.

[@terrysperman304]

So a good movie to pair with this movie is "Man From The Moon" starring Jim Carrey and the guy in this movie in the studio booth, the bald guy, and Danny Davito.

[@bowwing333]

Even before the invention of the camera, we were being watched and recorded, every action, thought and utterance.

[@ZeeBee692]

An underated movie similarly unique, is Stranger than Fiction..Will Ferrell, QueenLatifah, Maggie Gyllenhal & Emma Thompson. Creative suspenseful and endearing. I'm positive you'll like it 💛😊

[@CERULEANSPIRAL]

They actually call the disorder of believing you're being watched with cameras as Truman Syndrome. They used this movie to name the affliction, but people have felt like that prior to this movie. I have had those thoughts since I was a kid in the 80s. I never believed it for real, but I always thought it felt like I was being watched with cameras and I would make up elaborate stories about it in my head when I was bored (ADHD).

[@Infinity-Minus-One]

super edited!

[@abovewater6918]

Great reaction. Also I love the new "tv" setup and background you have

[@WRam-fo2sc]

Peter Weir directed this complex abstract idea into a masterful film. You should also watch "Dead Poets Society" starring the great Robin Williams and "Fearless" with Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez. Bring tissues for both films.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

The commentary at the very end with the two guys asking what else is on after the show ended. We as humans do they same, we just consume media and like when GoT was over for the world, we immediately tried to find the next big thing to entertain us

[@maunelmedina1206]

[@dougearnest7590]

The most frighteningly realistic thing about this movie is the frightening realism of this movie. A sobering follow-up to this would be to watch the 1976 film "Network". (Just do it. You can thank me later.) Or - if you're feeling a bit more adventuresome, 1987's "The Running Man" - then you can really thank me. Or not.

[@DrummerXero626]

please PLEASE! you have to watch my favorite Jim Carrey movie. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. You will love it more then then The Truman Show, I promise you ❤❤ John 14:14

[@unclebounce1495]

The Truman Show is a great insight to the threat of this world today. Not bloggers/vloggers/streamers, but the elite who conspire to manipulate the world. You don't need a giant studio to create the truman show. You just need to control the media, control the cameras, control the mainstream stories/narratives, and censor all outside "unsanctioned misinformation." First step is convincing the world that the online world is the real world (instead of just a fake virtual reality, which it is), and then the second step is to manipulate and control the artificial virtual world to twist reality as you wish. This is how you pretend to be God of a pretend universe, and AI are just going to be the prophets and truth-speakers of these fake god[s] trying to control the world through their fake, designed false reality.

[@lorivera94]

His "Fictional" wife is so creepy when she sounds like an advertisement 😳

[@mathewjhill]

The ultimate paranoia movie. What if you are in a reality show without knowing it, and they just made this movie to help convince you that it can't be true because you'd spot all the obvious mistakes like Truman did.

[@yellowblanka6058]

Laura Linney does a great job playing the disingenuous "girlfriend" and "wife"....she really grates on you.

[@dadmateryn8092]

scary.....isn't it

[@greatfox232]

Truman show is a allegory for man's struggle with God, the devil and the unknown... The producer is God.. he trys Truman, but in the end only wants the best for him and don't want to harm him. The woman is Satan tempting him with hidden knowledge and secrets, trying to get him to leave essentially paradise. And then there Truman or "True Man" who at the end of the movie. Chooses darkness and taboo over paradise

[@azazello1784]

The ending pissed me off so much. Truman should have stayed in the show and lived a care free life. Furthermore, he could have demanded a lot of perks for emotional abuse.
