Seeing the eyes of Christ showing him the truth. Very symbolic and deep.

The Truman Show joins that elite group of Sunset Boulevard, Peeping Tom and 8 1/2 as one of the great movies that takes a long hard look at its own medium in the mirror, and by extension is one of the very greatest of all time. Watching these movies serves as a total crash course on how to do self-referential material right.

Chopin's 1st Piano Concerto

She's so creepy holy fk

Yet the main reason Sylvia likes him, is due to his celebrity. In some sense, their moments together were just as scripted as the show.

OMG SHe so hot.

Konichiwa .... 🥰🔱

Of course she knew, she's Catherine Halsey :V

It's not just that Truman took an unexpected turn off script, but that the actress went against the studios/producers plan

Wait so if this is unscripted was this whole sequence broadcasted?

The way she runs to him at the end

In my head cannon Truman found her after he left the show.

This movie is a masterpiece.

I remember years ago a girl that wrote in my yearbook to call her over the summer. I never did and I’m worse off for it.

THATS MY LAST NAME

Love this movie

This is my favorite thing in stories, movie, TV, comic book, etc. Love that transcends time and space.

Love at first sight for Truman but I think for her she was star struck.

Jim Carrey was pretty handsome in this movie, and Natascha Mcelhone is so beautiful ❤ Edit: I also blame Sylvia for my love of red cardigans and jumpers because of this scene ❤

Zorak’s little “wheee” is his equivalent of that “yipee” sound

easily carrey’s best and most genuine performance. i’ve never seen him approach this in anything else, his ego seems to get in the way of the character too often. but he caught it here, perfectly. it’s beautiful to me.

Holy smokerooski Batman, are we super amazed yet?! I AM , in the name of Jesus, the Nazarene, the Christ amen 🙏 amen ❤️ 🙏 🙌. Writers and readers and seekers, oh my!!

How can you not love this film with your whole heart? It's just perfect

She kinda look like Ella purnell

If we don't go now,it won't happen...so what do you want to do?

Not to burst everyone's bubble, but in real-world terms, a woman who is obsessed with a celebrity is generally obsessed with them *because* they are a celebrity. Relationships based upon this dynamic are unlikely to endure. His interest in her was authentic and yes, the moment was unscripted, but this Sylvia woman would surely have had her own motivations for trying to get him out of there. At the end of the movie, Ed Harris says, "The world out there isn't any more real than the world in here." Ain't that the truth? They don't tell you whether he and Sylvia got together afterward, but if they had, surely it would have been a short-lived fling. It would have been replacing the show's script with Sylvia's script. In terms of making people question, hopefully, the ways in which they unwittingly follow life's script, this movie is superbly thought-provoking. To be relevant, a person needs to be willing to take the third path and, ideally, needs to break away from that human desire to get credit and attention for every little thing. Praise is well and good, but one also has to be willing to accept that a good deed is its own reward. Truman has that quality in spades and exemplifies it in his good-natured mirth. I think this movie also goes to show that a person who is given good examples to follow, even if artificial (think people who grew up watching Leave It to Beaver,) they will tend to follow those positive examples. Providing idealized models to which children may aspire to imitate and furthermore expecting them to perfectly match the ideal may be unrealistic, but surely that does not justify the abeyance of the provision of aspirational goals to youth in the first place. Surely, aiming high is a better strategy for ensuring pro-social behavior than mentally priming children for failure. We also, therefore, must conclude from this movie that not all artifices are negative. Social convention is an artifice, basic moral principles e.g. the Code of Hammurabi are artifices. Even modern agriculture is an artifice. Shall we do away with those things simply because they are artifices? One of the great tragedies of the last 50 or so years in this country has been the rejection of those artifices which have been demonstrated to be useful and constructive and simultaneously replacing them with other, deleterious artifices such as political correctness. The idea that providing positive role models for children is going to lead to naivete is entirely ludicrous and, in fact, we have learned that leaving children without moral guidance, in fact, is what leads to greater naivete. When we teach our children about pitfalls to be avoided, that is instilling wisdom, not naivete. Telling children that they can simply trust everyone or that they may experiment with narcotics without consequences, for example, are actions which generate naivete. Truman was able to benefit from the facade with which he was presented and was furthermore able to independently identify the seams of his artificial world and successfully broke away from it, becoming an independent person with less outside help than, for example, the robot boy in A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. Haley Osment's character was helped by fellow robots as well as by a deliberately placed Internet advertisement for Cybertronics. The Truman Show, quite unintentionally, created a perfect human being through its complete disregard for certain aspects of Truman's emotional well-being. Although he was denied authentic intimacies both collegial and romantic, he was never deprived of an education, of friends, or of employment as someone might be in the real world. Some of his needs were met and others were not. Unlike Brendan Fraser's character in Blast from the Past, Truman is not truly naive nor is he truly deprived because he is provided with many of the elements of a normal life, in contrast to Fraser's character's exposure only to his parents for three decades. Truman was able to interact with the same variety of people with which an ordinary person might expect to interact and, due to the controlled conditions, he had, in many ways, ideal experiences. Where an ordinary person might be neglected or might have unfavorable experiences which might lead them to be discouraged, Truman had largely positive experiences and therefore had little reason to be cynical. Truman's transformation into a malcontent was predicated upon a handful of his emotional needs failing to be met; first, his wanderlust, second, his desire for a relationship with his father, third, his desire for authentic relationships more generally and his desire to start a family. This is a sort of tragedy when seen in a certain light as many on the outside would likely have coveted the ideal aspects of Truman's life and it furthermore mirrors the universal human tendency toward failing to appreciate the virtues of one's life as a consequence of one of two aspects of it not being exactly what one might desire. A great deal of human suffering has been caused by people looking gift-horses in the mouth. Successful relationships and especially successful marriages are predicated upon both patience and an ever-present cognizance of the virtues of the marriage even when one or both parties are discontented due to one or more aspects of it. Many homes have been broken because a single individual decides that a mere emotional need outweighs their own practical needs as well as the emotional and practical needs of their spouse and children. Many homes have been broken by a single individual who is bored with the scenery or with their spouse. Although such persons will swear up and down that everything they do is for the well-being of their children, no woman in her right mind who was actually concerned with the well-being of her children would force them to grow up in the nightmare that is a single-parent household in the name of fulfilling a mere emotional need. Surely we cannot evade the need to make trade-offs in life and cannot escape all artifices. A culture of selfishness now pervades our nation and it acts as the devil on the shoulder of the masses which whispers, "Don't worry about the other person, just think about yourself." We are living in a world now which is the natural consequence of generations of the dominance of this mentality. When people decide to have children, rarely is the question asked: Will those children be glad to exist in the world we've created for them?

Love can blossom even in a cage.

Truman's heart was utterly captivated by that brief moment he had with Sylvia. Her eyes. Her smile. Her spontaneous nature, even though she was a mere extra. His heart belonged to Sylvia and no one else. That's why he longed for her and looked for her for years afterwards.

Damn those eyes. I guess I don't need will power anymore...

This and the scene where he’s on the boat and she sees the cut out magazine strips that is modeled after her face.. so heartwarming, true love right there.

Once she realized he talked to her even just a it too long, she knew she'd be fired by the show and truman would be presented with a funeral of her due to a car accident or something. So, she figured if she's gonna get fired anyway at that point, she might as well...

Are those her real eyes? They are so enchanting.

20 years later and it gets stuck in my head outta nowhere

What is crazy is that out of the millions of viewers that watched this show, Lauren was the only one who cared about Truman. So much so, that she snuck onto set.

This film is an absolute masterpiece.

i'm pretty sure the original pong arcade machine was an arcade cabinet, not a reproduction of a console setup.

Good times!

Rizz

Without doubt, one of the most romantic scene ever ! ❤️❤️❤️

What incredible eyes !!! 😍😍😍

After watching 2nd times this scene give me goosebumps.

Damn bro, Caucasian people really won the genes lottery..

This is one of my favorite scenes ever.

Oh my goodness gracious!!!

wheee ^_^

His acting is too cute 😭😭

I need this woman in my life. Holy smokes! so beautiful..would really make a man lvl up

Amen😊✝️😀🙏🍞❤️😇🍷🎉🕊️

Such a great scene that Timothee Chalamet had to copy/steal during his drug deal scene in “Hot Summer Nights”. Lol. Pretty pathetic him and Director E. Bynum would even try to do that.

Chopin playing in the background is really the cherry on top for this scene
