The very end to me is interesting. The two security people watching in the parking garage ask "what else is on" after this show goes off the air. So the show was made a big deal but after it's over people just move on because, after all, it was just a TV show to them.

[@drServitis]

Kind of like you and me seeing what else is on youtube after we watch this video.

[@Saturnia2014]

@@drServitis Not even remotely the same, because the Truman show was a social experiment on a global scale and people watched Truman grow up (some people died before they could even finish the show, which would've gone on until Truman grew old and died) so no, not the same

[@drServitis]

@@Saturnia2014 Alot of people are addicted to KZbin and other social media platforms and move from one pre-occupation to another, so it's pretty much the same as the ending in this movie.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Another thing is that once he leaves the "stage", we as the real movie audience see no more of him just like the fictional audience. Both the movie & the show end with Truman exiting.

[@WheresWaldo05]

Clearly not a good one if they move on that quickly.

[@reactionisst]

The most ironic and darkest line of this movie, I think, is when the interviewer says to Christoph, "thank you so much for granting us this interview-we know how carefully you guard your privacy."

[@callmeshaggy5166]

I thought he said "jealously guard your privacy"

[@tfpp1]

That is a good line. I thought equally evocative is "we accept the reality of the world with which we're presented."

[@TacShooter]

That's the Puppeteers stringing We The People along. They like their privacy but watch us like Paparazzi.

[@drServitis]

You're right, and Christoph is supposed to be like God, who also hates communicating with anyone, if he exists at all.

"You have nothing to fear" he says. I gotta wonder - What if the ratings and sales tanked?

Some people think this film was Ahead of its time… but I don’t think I agree. Because from my personal understanding, Movies that are “ahead of their time” Don’t usually get a lot of praise when they come out. For example… the movie “Tron” was A perfect example of a film being ahead of its time. And it didn’t get a lot of praise at the box office in 1982 when it came out

Finally! I was very pleased that you decided to react to this remarcable film. You must understand the context of the year in which it was made, just when reality shows were beginning to spread. Jim Carrey's performance is extraordinary (first "non-comedic" role in his movie career). Thank you both for your reaction! PS: Moonsugar: you hair looks fantastic!

[@dontworry5696]

I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid and just thinking it was OK because I was expecting the typical outrageous, slapstick Jim Carrey. It wasn’t until I watched it as an adult that I realize what a amazing film the Truman show is

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

This film is so timeless and also way ahead of it's time. Watching it now it still feels fresh and brand new it's kinda insane

[@nsasupporter7557]

“Ahead of it’s time?” I don’t think so. I mean I understand that it came out before the time when reality shows came out, But it was very successful when it came out and usually movies that are ahead of their time aren’t successful at the box office

[@tentsio]

I think that it could be because so much of our current media is unintelligent and critically regressive.

[@NeverKilledHillock]

@@nsasupporter7557 Excuse my english, not a native speaker. Would not say that. Many films are succesful at the box office, even if they are ahead of their time. Look at the big ones in the past. There are multiple ways to be ahead of your time. In the cinematic way (tech. film making) like for example "The Matrix" with all the crazy visuals and CGI for it's time or like this movie in the theme/story. Sure, ppl watched and liked the movie back then, but don't forget... this movie was in a time where "Jim Carrey" was THE man for entertainment, so ppl watched the movies with their known and loved stars anyway. Where you would be right in my opinion is, that this movie wasn't ground breaking, like some of the "ahead" movies, but not every movies has to be like that. At the end it doesn't really matter, it's an insane good written and acted movie.

[@nsasupporter7557]

@@NeverKilledHillock yeah, I can see your point. Though, I didn’t mean that movies that were ahead of their time weren’t successful at all. They would become a classic later after they came out, for example the movie “Tron” from 1982… did you see that? That movie was a perfect example of being ahead of it’s time. When I first learned that it was in 1982, I had a hard time wrapping my head around that because it definitely didn’t seem like a movie from that time period and it didn’t do well that the box office I don’t think but it became a classic later on because it was a very cool movie. And I guess you’re right about Truman Show… it was a huge hit movie because it had alot to do with the fact that it was a Jim Carrey movie before anything else

[@nsasupporter7557]

This film was not ahead of it’s time because technically reality tv shows started in the 90s. On MTV there was the Real World and other reality tv shows at that time… reality tv just didn’t really blow up until the 2000s

[@thoso1973]

The Truman Show preluded the popular rise of reality-tv. The film is truly timeless, because it captures something fundamental about humanity and shows us both the light and the dark side of it. Director Peter Weir made some outstanding films in his career; you should check some of them out.

I think the key to “Nothing in this show is a lie” is that it wasn’t spoken to Truman but to the audience. They were saying that Truman isn’t just an actor following a script - what you see are his real reactions. It really was his life. It was just a very manufactured manipulated life.

I've been waiting for this reaction for a long time, I always liked this movie and now that I'm much older than I was when it was released, I feel that it can also be interpreted in another way, I think that many people must feel like Truman, not literally but if living a repetitive life, in a loop, with a boring job, an equal marriage and when they realize that it is very difficult for them to go out... I would love for them to react to "Vanilla Sky", a movie that makes me feel Quite sentimental and makes me think.

I live near the town in Northern Florida where it was filmed in 1998. It’s actually real. Looks just like that and the locals still talk about it. Seaside Florida. Beautiful place.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Fun fact: the film was supposed to start production in 1995 after they saw Ace Ventura. The movie was specially made for Jim Carrey in mind. But he was busy filming Cable Guy and Liar Liar So production was put on hold for him until he was available… they wanted the film to be released in 97 however the movie was delayed even further because Titanic stole the box office in December of that year. So they waited until summer of 98 to release it which was very smart

What i find so Ironic, that us watching how you two are "Reacting" is an offspring of this phenomena of Reality TV, that sprung itself in the 90's. Alot of reality TV shows came out, most famously at the time "Big Brother" where a group of random people are sealed in a house for a couple of months/ a year to see how they react to eachother, and we watch that. The Truman Show is an parody of this Phenomena.

@@parker469a "V for Vendetta" is a good movie, because it has good performances, and because it adapts the comic on which it is based quite faithfully. But it is not an original script, but just that, an adaptation. And, as often happens in these cases, the true masterpiece is the comic of the god Moore and David Lloyd. And if you compare the two, the movie isn't even a hundredth of the quality of the comic book (probably the only time a movie has far surpassed the quality of the book it's based on was "Jaws," an absolute work of art, made from Benchley's mediocre novel). In any case, I was referring to "The Truman Show" and "Back to the Future" as original scripts, not adaptations.

@@thepsychophonic Umm, about that, Moore said it was so different from what he was intending with his book it might as well have just been it's own thing. I watched a video comparing the two and yeah, most of the people and main themes even are almost completely different. They have some parallels to each other but their differences are substantial. CineFix did a really good break down of how much was changed. It's a little hard to follow since there's so much changed but they did what they could.

[@thepsychophonic]

@@parker469a Well, I'm just saying that the comic is an absolute masterpiece and the movie is just a good movie. And I add that, in my opinion, what is good about the film is precisely the main idea, which is the most faithful to the comic, and not the things that have changed.

This movie resonated with me so hard.

My favorite Homies! You MUST watch now another Carrey’s gem: “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind”.

[@John-tn7nm]

My first time seeing Jim Carrey doing a serious role was a made for TV movie in the 90s called, "Doing Time on Maple Drive." Then the Truman Show was the second.

Fingers crossed, it means that she wasn't agreeing to what she was doing, in this case getting married.

The guy in the bathtub is also the guy who plays Napoleon in Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure.

Ed Harris is so so so so good.

The True Man being deceived by a system in which everyone pretends to be something they're not, while being staunch about defending that very same system all the way in the name of what's "good", and in which real-life drama is reduced to ephemeral entertainment... This movie excels at revealing the shadows of the modern world.

In America, crossing ur fingers is normally a kids thing- u can promise or swear to someone, but if u cross ur fingers behind ur back, then u don't mean what u are saying or doing, and God won't hold u accountable.

Its interesting the fact not only the characters are watching his life, but we too

[@Zeppelinlv2007]

What if I told you we are all in the "Truman Show" now...

[@3DJapan]

In the late 90s, before streaming video or KZbin, there was a website called JenniCam. Jennifer Ringley was a college student who set up web cams all over her apartment that ran 24-7. Once per minute the cameras would upload a picture to the website so you could always check in and see what she was doing (ANYTHING she was doing) . This movie was partially inspired by that site.

In the US, crossed fingers have 2 meanings. If you say you have your fingers crossed it means you are wishing it happens. Probably a Christian connotation with a cross. But, there is a different meaning - if you make a promise but you cross your fingers it means you aren't really promising. The crossed fingers are crossing out the promise. This is why Truman's wife had her fingers crossed when she was saying "I do" at their wedding.

I'm always surprised that people don't know this.

[@izzonj]

@@The2realistic that's why I think it's just a US thing because Europeans don't get it. I'm not sure if younger US reactors pick it up

[@The2realistic]

@@izzonj I'm European and I remember it being a common thing back then, not as sure about the present day though.
