What’s amazing about this, is Truman had no idea the concept of reality television, and yet he was still able to pick up that things weren’t right, his entire life and he still figured it out,

Having seen this in the theater when it came out, I remember thinking how much it would suck to have cameras on you 24/7....also thinking that it would never happen...and look where we are.

I imagine this is how paranoid schizophrenics feel.

it would've been cool if the viewers didn't know it was a TV show from the start of the movie. it would've been a crazy plot twist near the end

Personally I think this movie was really underrated. Jim Carrey was great in it. Very original at the time

Jim Carrey deserved the Oscar for this performance. He was robbed.

Why do people sometimes call this movie a comedy drama? It's a horror! How anyone can think otherwise is beyond me.

they tried to warn us but we didn't want to listen

3:04 Those two extras are actually the owners of the town that Sea Haven was filmed. When they gave permission to film there, they asked for a cameo.

I remember when I firstly watched this movie with no clue what is it about. And after maybe 30 minutes comes huge jaw-dropping moment when I realized the idea. Not a lot of movies like this

I don’t know. This music makes it seem more like a horror movie. (Although I’m sure it must be a horrifying realization for the character.). The track they actually used for the film seems to evoke suspense and suspicion more.

One of my teachers actually showed this movie to my class in middle school. Very good choice.

Man it gets sadder abd sadder The radio, the newspaper, his friends and family Everyone he knows knows he doesn't know

He knows there npcs

It was always destined to fail. Our brains seek patterns very aggressively

“Police frequency” That’s a pretty good excuse all things considered

This film was way ahead of its time.

They could've at least told the extras to react to Truman in case he acted weird towards them

This rescoring really suits the mood a lot more imo. The original cut has a very turn of the century almost optimistic existential tone to it, like there’s a build to the music and his realization, but it’s also energized, inspired, evoking the idea of original thought. Here, it is a much more solemn realization that every original thought Truman has thought he has had is actually manufactured and manicured for him by the world around him.

"I'll report you." The most feckless threat but used when at a loss as to what to do.

5:29 - his best friend was having to improvise stocking the candy machine, that is why he had to take the candy bar out

I feel like the studio still could have had legitimate businesses running in the town. So people actualy have work to do rather than pretending all the time.

I watched this again recently on a flight and came to the conclusion that’s it one of the most underrated films of all time

I don't know what's creepier that everyone is watching him or how studiously everybody ignores him when he's doing goofy things in the street. He picked up on that too and highlights it when he does his hand clap bit at the end. "Anything happen?", "No", "Mmm Hmmm, We gotta get out of here".

The spooky music really adds to the whole "Am I paranoid or is someone out to get me" acting

There was a video I watched a while ago, if you pay attention Marlon is taking candy out of the machine when Truman isn't looking and then putting it back in when he turns back around. Cool little detail.

This the most underrated HORROR movie ever.

I really love the alternative music- gives it a different light. The original is still good, but this is a fun experiment!

What makes it extra creepy is how perfectly nice and wholesome the town is. Since when do modern people dress like it's the 1950s?

The real Truman is enlightened with everyone else in the dark.

"Just because you are paranoid does not mean that someone isn't out to get you." Take that home and ingest it at yer leisure. Why has there not been a sequel?

Yeah if I figured out I was being watched I would just lay in bed all day and lounge around the house until ratings went down

You need a whole city of actors to pull off this show and that's not cost effective to do this daily.

It's actually funny how Hollywood trolled this town. Their one claim to fame, still on their official city website, is the Truman Show.

“He’s starting to believe.” - Morpheus

When I first watched the movie (like almost 30 years ago) I though "omg... that could be real" now, working on TV the mere idea is ridiculous, the amount of extras, the amount of technical issues that could happen, could you imagine the legal issues if only one extra got crash by one of those fake busses? This is a producers worst nightmare

We are all Truman

!!!SPOILER's AHEAD!!! It's weird how actors playing weren't really told how by the producer how to manage his unusual behavior. No scripts for when he starts to find different things, only 1 supervisor per whole studio basically. I'm shocked he managed over 10k days without noticing it with such shortsighted producers. Even with real world reality TV people inside often wonder what is real and it can be so well scripted it is resembling reality so well, while here they were simulating guy's whole life, yet had easy access in a building like that. Why won't pick a staircase? Similarly no real world people mess, like when I would do stuff like that I will every day pick a 10 random pedestrians to make 10 random things like dropping phone, hitting a curb or tying shoes. Would be very refreshing. Same for the radio starting mid-word or teaching actors to react normally like no driver would just sit on their ass when someone runs in front of a bus - would be tons of fuck offs and watch outs you prick. Those tiny details are missing(last one surely to be family friendly, but in general others are doable easily) and made Truman believe in the idea that something's off. I guess maybe that was a plan for producers to make show less boring, as we see routine and boredom all over the plan. But they overplayed and it ended with nice finale for Truman's Show!

I gotta say though, watching the show unravel... seeing truman descend into paranoia and him finally solving everything was probably fucking great television

when he goes “frequency can be loud and sometimes drive you crazy” is a manipulation tactic so he wouldn’t pick up on it

Carry played his character so well i thought he should have been nominated for an Oscar...the Oscars are Irrelevant now.

3:32 he’s beginning to believe…..

its a shame that there was no part 2 after he escaped this whole thing

Most people don't realise that Jim Carey was a very handsome guy, and so talented in many ways.

This also occurs with narcissist in the real world who believe everyone is watching them.

Imagine truman escaping from the reality tv show to the outside world only to also realize eventually they are living in the matrix

Imagine all your friends, relatives, family are liar and being with you because they're paid. Poor Truman 😔

Wouldn't this be the worst? An entire civilization watching you. Like right now could you imagine that some alien race or multiple races are watching you and depending on what you do you would go up or down in popularity? Crazy to think about.

This is what I feel like I go through everyday.. It's hell

When the gov't can see everything you type, tweet, google and track your movements...oh wait

Now these phones are doing this to all of us except the only ones listening are some giant servers in some far away buildings.

I feel like this was the true inspiration for the movie Free Guy with GTA painted on. At the end Truman was a "free guy".

I thought life was like that wen I was a kid around 4 to 7

Nice work. This film is the most accurate depiction of paranoia.

Yup.

Time to lay on the couch and play with myself. Good entertainment right there

So glad the music for this was changed

I was at this city where this movie was filmed at. Surreal experience

Imagine going to toilet and being watched.

The Truman Show, Similar to one's actual life. One reason the Matrix movie was so popular. As one becomes more aware of this reality one starts realizing the truth behind this reality. Be careful what you know. Most people are approximately 5% aware of themselves and this reality and are not ready for the truth. Without the proper gradient and knowledge of this truth, one is very susceptible to the brutality of this reality's traps keeping one imprisoned in it.

tripped like this on DOB and i had not yet seen this movie. it was bizarre and awesome

One of the best movies ever!

Suspicious amount of bicycles for an US Town

smart movie for smart folks.

This would be called 'dystopian' nowadays. In other words, reality.

Brilliant movie!

An Amazing Movie!

Now, I suddenly realised this show could be much better than the youtube and tiktok KOLs

I wonder how many times during the day the pause button is pushed😂🎉

The OG irl streamer

The extras were not extraing at all 😅😅

The street sweepers and trash pickers in the beginning were cleaning up despite having no trash at all

This film was only made to make me think I'm not being watched by everyone and everyone, people even commenting here, are actors

This poor guy would have been driven paranoid Schizophrenic long before adulthood.

Of course I realized it ... Since the first time

This music is perfect

Somewhere around 2009 I noticed

There is a neighborhood in Alameda, CA, (near the former navy base) that has that some unnatural creepy feeling.

Truman was an indigo Child. Sooner or later, he was going to remove that veil. They never expected that.

Almost hitchcok with the music

This movie ****ed me up as a kid lol. I was convinced it was like a hint for me that my own life was also a fabrication.

People demanding a sequel… you are the villains in the story, literally, demanding that you be made privy to Truman’s life even after he escapes

One of the best points (that also made it surreal,) is that all the women are wearing dresses. Very feminine.

Are you a simulation, Morty?

Out of the Matrix born into Narcissistic Dynamic

So much fun…

Cue the sun

I always thought of this movie whenever I watched Wanda Vision.....

What a great movie. The Truman character is a classic.

Wait I never noticed that, why did trumans friend take the one chocolate bar out of the machine then put it back when truman turned back around?? Maybe someone told him to do it but idk why

It's true this is my life, I seen the program pause everyone around me and my car was still moving😂

In David Bowie song life on mars one verse goes “take a look at the long man beating up the wrong guy, oh well wonder if he will ever know it’s the best selling show” this film reminds me of that song, are we entertainment for another planet? We could be…

It’s odd but he looks like Wilson, from House . In this one film it’s just all about Wilson .

poor Truman

I myself is a Truman so are you.

A great great movie......an Aussie director.

I have to admit, I prefer the original Philip Glass score. I think it was originally used in the documovie Powaqqatsi. The Truman Show is one of my favorite movies.

... 14 years ago. They tried putting him on psychotropics.

Imagine this being your life but being intuitive enough to know who is watcing you Flip the script 🙃

BIGG BOSS.
