What's with all the redacted audio?
-
When I first watched this in my psychology my teacher didnt show us the beginning. We found out as Truman did
-
If I was living in a Truman Show reality right now, the crew would be sweating bullets seeing me watch this video.
-
It’s a miracle Truman lasted that long with a wife who reads the labels of every single thing brought into the house
-
In a world full of actors, Truman really was the only “true man”
-
They sent Truman to cross the bay to REMIND HIM that he had a terrible fear of water. To REINFORCE that fear.
-
Creator of the show: "Truman would leave if he wanted" Truman: *leaves* Creator of the show: 😨😱
-
I always took Truman's last line as him realizing he had a catchphrase and just saying it to appease the audience before starting his real life.
-
9:30 The thing here, is that the guy actually IS Truman's friend. He all but confirms it to Truman, in his acting, his choking back the tears, saying that "if everybody's in on it, I'd have to be in on it too." Apparently they were going to make a scene where the friend discovers Truman during the search (Truman in disguise here) and he chooses to ignore Truman to give him the choice. I wish they had kept that in, as it would've added to the character.
-
Imagine if the Truman Show was just CANCELED when he was 15 or so. How would they break that news to him? "So you're what's known as a former child star now..."
-
the way director peter weir said he wanted to have cameras installed in every theater the film was shown in, having the projectionist at one point cut the power, cut to the viewers, and then cut back to the movie... I can't even imagine
-
I remember one time we were watching the Truman show in class. Normally whenever they put on something, the students aren't that interested, so when the bell rings they're fully ready to leave. But when we were watching the final scene of the Truman show with the stormy ocean, the bell rang and half the class stayed sitting. Everyone was fully willing to be late to their next class just to see how the movie ends. To me that says alot, because I've never seen such a reaction with any other movie.
-
His fear of the ocean was not 'holding onto characterization' it IS his characterization. That is what the show intended. They manufactured his talassophobia to control Truman better. So that they DON'T have to deal with him leaving. It's the whole point, not a side fact that they "luckily kept in"
-
They made this video jokingly as a part of my own truman show
-
Gotta love how Netflix has this labelled as a comedy. That ending wasn't funny, man, that shit was sad.
-
In the scene early on where he's sent to go across the bay, I always took it not as a way to test him or create drama, but to intentionally put him face to face with a water and the sunken boat at the dock to reinforce the fear. They see him fantasizing about traveling and about Lauren, so they re-expose him to the danger to keep him afraid. Even if he did try to leave in that moment, they would whip up a fake storm, and at that point in the movie, he'd be too scared to continue.
-
One scene that always stuck with me was when the bus driver said sorry to Truman, I felt like that was a moment where he broke his character role and actually felt sorry for Truman and how his life has to be, and knowing that he cant do anything to help him
-
Truman didn't find out the truth yet. He still doesn't know he's in a movie.
-
When I watched it, as Truman was escaping I was almost shouting "FOLLOW HIM WITH THE CAMERA! I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!" And suddenly I was the villain of the movie.
-
The moment when he touches the wall and you see it wash over him that he was right and he didn't want to be right, always gets me
