    Do y’all ever watch a movie that everyone else saw decades ago but you never got around to seeing? Watched The Truman Show tonight. Outstanding film. In addition to the storyline, things I loved about it: *the pacing. Not a moment of wasted film. *soundtrack. It’s there, unobtrusive, but perfect

    Has anyone ever done a cut of the Truman Show where you don't know he's in a TV show. Like it skips the first few minutes of the movie and all the behind-the-scenes moments

    I rewatched the Truman Show, and I realized for the first time that we aren't watching Truman figure it out. He already knows at the start of the film. We are watching him act like he doesn't know as he figures out his escape.

    This was one of my more minor complaints too. By the 23rd century they should be able to film incredibly high quality fly-on-the-wall documentaries without bothering the subjects at all. The Truman Show is a great example doing this filmmaking gimmick well.

    The easy resistance plan: 1) Let him build his bunker, 2) Lock him up in the bunker with his cabinet, 3) Organise a fake MAGA show, with the help of Hollywood studios, to make them believe he is still the President. (Like the Truman Show movie), 4) Organise elections and proceed as usual.

    Rewatching the Truman Show now that I'm a content creator has totally changed the movie. Like, you gotta respect his wife for trying to sneak an ad read in there when Truman threatens her life to get production to intervene. She stays on her grind.

    Did you know that the film Jim Carrey did after The Truman Show (1998) was a mockumentary on a performance artist? Man on the Moon (1999) is an homage to the life and art of SNL performer Andy Kaufman who faked faking his own death. We’re talking about it on Tues, DM for the link to the film & Zoom

    copied the caption: What if everything you believed was real was just a carefully written illusion? The Truman Show isn’t just a film it’s a quiet reminder of how easily comfort can become a cage. Truman lived a perfect life, but it was never truly his. And maybe that’s what makes it hit so hard…
