@@jamilleyomtown Correct. He hit the nail on the head and she suddenly became desperate, so all she could fall back on was her advertising prowess. Very well-played, to be honest.

@@michaelmcdonald8452 there's nothing bad in analyzing plot or how actors played in movies, series etc. Discussing those small things is part of the fun tbh

@@michaelmcdonald8452 being able to do this is a sign of good writing. Black mirror is especially good at this imo

He kinda did. While he was unaware at the time that Meryl was advertising, he'd rather repair his old lawnmower than to get an Elk rotary.

@@Shanethefilmmaker but he did get an Elk Rotary I believe? I remember a short snippet where he was cutting grass with a new lawnmower and it was horrible

@@ArgonathPL Ya but at the time he started to catch on to the quirks of the world and was faking them out.

@@Shanethefilmmaker oooh, I didn't think of that! Nice one

he is also the best product tester. Like those youtube reviewers today.

I'm always awed by "bad" acting in movies. Usually, you don't think about the fact they're ALL actors saying their lines, but then one of them does it poorly on purpose and HOLY SHIT DUDE I DIDN'T KNOW. Mad respect to actors everywhere.

Given that Truman was born in that life, he shouldnt find it strange that people talk to the invisible camera advertising things

That's Laura Linney for you.

more like bad writing. a mistake if you will.

@@donoi2k22 I don't think it's a mistake. It was meant to reflect her mental state at that time. She had to always be cheerful and steer Truman back to "the script", where he avoids anything spontaneous that might prompt him to leave. But she was running out of ideas and probably feeling unsafe because he was being erratic. She is just an actress and not really his wife in the real sense of it, so she doesn't really care about him or respond to him in a normal way.

Nah they don't stay there forever, only poor Truman will be stuck there for life, like their deaths or exits would be staged at some point and then they can move on to enjoy their amassed wealth

@@murtazahamid6141 Gotcha. Thanks for the insight.

There are times mentioned in the movie where some people, such as Truman's friend, (don't remember his name) are gone for some reason, presumably these are covers for their holidays

My thought was that it was worth it to those people, to send money back home to their struggling families

@@djrubbabi2471 at least he seems like a decent person raised in a kind environment. Those youtube kids will probably become spoiled entitled brats

Absolutely. "Hanna Gill" is SUCH a bad actress as Truman's wife it's ridiculous and drives me crazy (not to be confused with the real film actress Laura Linney who plays the role exactly as it should be).

Which shows how much of a sociopath Marlon is.

@@Fl0wchart there were a lot of deleted/unshot scenes showing the psychological toll that playing Marlon had on his actor. He apparently hated having to lie to Truman and had a drug addiction that he was often in rehab for. And then he was supposed to redeem himself by seeing Truman escape at the end, but not tell anybody. Unfortunately they cut that whole subplot.

@@cherkovision that's a shame, sounds like a great plot thread

He's like the Marlboro man

yeah i was thinking that if i were him, id never get out

I mean, realistically the world would never advanced if we all just lived like robots. Like the cultures sacrificing virgins for the gods, one dude has to go "wait a minute, this just seems wrong. Who are we sacrificing them too?". No but really, I like to think that he didn't notice all of this until it clicked that some actors were worse than others and some things just didn't feel natural. Presumably he would watch movies and TV shows (all made for him or at least designed for him) and maybe the similarities from them and his own life is what gets him thinking.

I don't have any friends because they are ashamed of the videos I upload. Are they really that bad, dear ja

Honestly that's probably my one issue with the movie. Realistically, Truman shouldn't think what they're doing is weird because he's been around it all of his life. To him, it should've been normal. Still one of my all time favorite movies but that part always kinda bugged me.

Yeah but the Truman show probably wasnt as huge when it began and Truman was just a baby. Years and years went by, started to get more popularity, they expanded the studio without him noticing and started to make the actors make more and more product placements, because the show was becoming so popular, they xouldnt just show them, they had to get the actors involved. I imagine it also gave the audience watching more of a thrill went they decided to buy. A marketing technique. So he probably started to find it a little weird how people around him started to try so hard to "hype up" stuff, but he didnt even consider he was living in a fake world so he ignored it UNTIL he started having suspicions, and then everything was not falling into place in his eyes, amd started noticing all the nuances and weirdness around him, paying attention to them. We have a saying in spanish that goes "No hay mas ciego que el que no quiere ver" which means "There's no one blinder than the one whom does not wishes to see" Thats who Truman was until he started wishing to know the truth.

Oh you’re right I never thought about that It makes sense tho

Maybe they didn't start the commercial until later on

you make an interesting point and i imagine it's only when he starts to notice the other bulls**t that he realises the way people talk is unnatural.

The reason the Truman Show is such a huge hit is because Truman acts genuinely like a human, so it'd be weird to make him grow up thinking talking like that is the norm, it'd put the audience off. So it makes sense that he'd be weirded out by it.

I wonder if it would be similar to how things are now. Advertising increasingly getting into things, not just commercial breaks between shows, but within shows themselves. KZfaqrs are putting ads and taking sponsors more and more. Give a company enough time, it'll probably grow to a point where it feels the need to increase advertising to satisfy investors or whatever. Maybe the ads frequency was lower when Truman was still growing up. Maybe advertising culture and other shows and channels didn't do much advertising until recently in their world.

LMFAOOO

Wooow

Bro is calling me out 💀

It could be both

@@nico-v113 No it's not, idiot. What's the product being advertised in that scene?

@@LeeTheSecond he was referring to the scene at 0:13 where Truman was pushed by the two men against a wall with product placement behind him. They are trying to convince him not to leave while simultaneously framing him in front of an ad. He put 0:49 but I don’t think that was what he meant. There’s no need to call people idiots for no reason, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t.

@@nico-v113 You absolute moron. He did refer to the scene in 0:49, because it's not an ad placement scene; it's a scene in which "they" (the TV crew) are trying to convince him to stay home. It's not necessary to be such a nincompoop, I'd appreciate if you could stop it.

@@paulwaltersheherfeministvl521 damn sorry for that but this is not the place to talk about the topic.

I think it's because it feels like you're being talked down to, you're being told about something with all the possible disadvantages being withheld, so it's as if you're stupid for not already owning said product. In real life when we recommend things to each other we're very casual, but ads always have to be upfront and in your face so they can be easily noticeable, and that kind of exaggeration just comes across as needy. People would probably be more okay with ads if they were more upfront and honest, but honesty doesn't get you anywhere in business.

This is a movie, not a documentary.. You're making a conclusion about human nature based on what a writer made the character like. Could simply be wrong.

same

No

@@suvivasqwibqwib4083 Yes.

Agreed. It’s not like actors randomly decide to do products placements on their own.

It was both. The product placement was probably assigned to her earlier at the start of the day but because of all the crazy stuff that happened Meryl didn't have a chance yet to do it, and seeing how Truman was completely acting like a madman putting her under stress she reflexively tried getting back "to work" and thus to normal. Which backfired.

I personally prefer SURFSHARK when I’m trying to STREAM CONTENT that’s locked in my AREA.

except for the capital Y they used instead of y

And this was done back when movies were only watched once My respect to the team increased

The lettering is kinda fucked up (ТРYман БYPбанк instead of Труман Бурбанк), but yeah

@@grongy6122 couldn't that be because of the font? The text on the side uses p and y instead.

@@timcosgrove707 Whatever they want. He would have grown up assuming it was normal

@@timcosgrove707 she would tell him that shee need some practice

It's a small town. Her being in advertising would mean travel. How is she working on advertising campaigns for far off products when they want Truman to stay in that small town? Her being a local nurse allows her to stay situated in one spot. It could just be one of her weird quirks; she likes buying new things and showing it to Truman. If they developed that side of her personality, he just learns to accept it especially if everyone kinda does it. The show literally controls the lives of everyone in that town, they can easily alter what Truman view as normal over years.

Lol that’s what moves everyone out here unfortunately. In times of a natural disaster (hurricanes and earthquakes) we donate money to help refurbish buildings and homes as opposed to acting out of good faith

Like an arena in The Hunger Games

@@lesanimaux4416 I think the Hunger Games arena was sourced from the Truman Show.

@@samuelross9884 Close! "Collins has said that the inspiration for The Hunger Games came from channel surfing on television. On one channel she observed people competing on a reality show and on another she saw footage of the invasion of Iraq. The two "began to blur in this very unsettling way" and the idea for the book was formed."

@@lesanimaux4416 True! People competing | People fighting. That can come from ancient Rome (arenas and gladiators), but it's really similar to the dome.

Looking right down the barrel.

I like this movie compared to his other films where it's about jim Carey making silly faces

in Eternal Sunshine he's withdrawn whereas Kate Winslet is the kooky one

I think it would work better if it could be edited without the outside world stuff. You would think Truman was getting schizophrenic

People will overlook a LOT for love and will even blind themselves to their surroundings willingly when in love. Like those girls who date the "bad boys" and think everything is ok even though they're both poor and addicted to drugs and the kids haven't eaten in a few days.

If you grow up with product placement around you maybe you learn to think it's a normal thing people do?

It already exists. Look at The Instagram show or the Facebook program, or any of the social media stuff that's going on atm.

She doesn't understand Truman on a personal level. She only sees him as a platform to sell products.

Not really her fault. She couldn’t say no, then it’d be another dead giveaway that something is up. If she had an earpiece or something, the higher ups were probably telling her to do it.
