Yep! TH-cam and other sources list it as a comedy, and sure, it has comedic elements, but so do most other horror movies. It's all horror, though unusual in that it relies on real horror, rather than cheap jump scares and gross-out blood and guts. Better than most horror movies, but still fully a horror movie.
The light that fell at the beginning called Sirius was used on the ceiling of the dome as the star in the constellation Canis Major, which was also written on the light. Sirius is the second brightest star in the sky behind our Sun.
This movie was made years before the rise of reality TV shows so it was a really new and interesting movie idea. It's also even better on a second watch because you notice the details even more. Like when Marlon is filling up the vending machine. When Truman turns around, he removes a bunch of chocolate bars because he ran out and then slowly puts them back in when Truman is looking.
Christoff stated the main thesis of the movie. "We accept the reality with which we're presented". You are supposed to think about the ways in which your own life or the life of others is also just a skewed perspective. Chiristoff himself even said the real world out there isn't any better. There is truth to what he is saying. You guys touched on many of the topics. You can go political, talk about mainstream media lies, philosophical or even into science. But I think the most important one is about all the government lies and government propaganda. You two need to watch the 2009 movie "watchmen"
I found you guys through LotR, and have loved watching how you both interpret things. You are both so insightful and have further inspired me to want to start a platform, where instead of contributing to the influx of nonsensical influencers and product endorsement, I want to inspire people to learn read and think about the world around us.
@@nsasupporter7557 It definitely is the most popular but this is my second favorite Carrey drama. I hope they get to watch Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind cuz thats an even higher bar emotionally to me. TS was amazing in its ability to predict the future of humanity in terms of metaphor and black mirror potential dystopias.
@@ghostmkc4045 unfortunately, Jim has only had 3 successful dramatic movies… Truman Show, Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He did other serious movies like the Majestic and Number 23, but those were flops unfortunately. But still, for a comedian having 3 successful dramatic movies is very impressive
There is a deleted scene after Truman disappears and everyone is looking for him, where Marlon finds him but let's him go. It shows that he was his true friend.
Thanks to Mrs. and Mr. October! 📺 I'm so glad I saw this in a cinema, back when it was fresh. Andrew Niccol wrote it. He wrote another of my favorites, IN TIME (2011)... which I thoroughly recommend when you're in the mood for another psychological sci-fi with action/thriller elements.
Around @32:07 (in this video) you'll hear "The Hague" calling and then immediately hanging up the phone. That is where the court of crimes against humanity is located. It is a little easter egg, pointing out how abhorrent the whole concept is, just in case that wasn't obvious.
Head canon: there was a core group of fans who were disillusioned when scripted arcs were introduced. They watched as they had their own life. When Truman started to wake up to his reality, they rooted for him to escape. That's why they cheered when he escaped his gilded cage. Those of us who saw this in the theater did so knowing the movie was about Reality TV, because of ads on TV & in print media. But the brilliance of this film is it anticipates viewers who're clueless about what it's about. That's why there's the documentary midway through. The bus driver probably knows how to drive, & drives the route over the bridge & to the staging area beyond the "power plant," where they'd exit the set. Obviously, Truman couldn't be allowed to see the staging area! I'd like to think in this dystopian near future, fans probably sued Christoff & the studio. On Truman's behalf. He & Sylvia have probably disappeared. The mainland cop who committed the gaffe was probably just a bit actor who wanted a role, who was watching the show when he got a frantic call from the studio. As for your theories, have you ever seen a scifi movie called The Congress? It examines what you're talking about.
Here’s my theory: Sylvia is part of an activist movement to liberate Truman. Some of the “mistakes” (falling “star” Sirius light, radio frequency “glitch”, targeted rain shower on the beach) were likely sabotage by activists who had infiltrated the crew. Check out Sylvia’s bulletin board! Trying to recruit cast members, etc. She lives in Hollywood, we know because the announcer gives her location when she calls the talk show. Her tiny studio is probably right next to the dome, because she’s waiting for the moment he leaves. Of course she finds him. She would have detailed maps of the interior of the dome. She’ll know exactly where to go to meet him. He’ll be surrounded by a crowd by the time she finds him, but the crowd will part for her, and she’ll reach him easily. She’ll be very emotional, and Truman will recognize her genuine emotion, so different from the phony world he’s been inhabiting. She’ll take him back to her apartment, where he’ll see all the stuff she’s been doing (Free Truman rallies, etc.) and understand that the whole time he’s been trying to get to her in Fiji, she’s been trying to get him out. The movement has already got a plan for what to do when Truman escapes. There are lawyers ready to file lawsuits, trauma therapists, etc. Sylvia and Truman relocate to Fiji pretty much immediately, and buy a home there in a remote undisclosed location. When Truman wins the lawsuits against Christof and the studio, he becomes extremely wealthy. From then on, he and Sylvia spend time regularly at their home in Fiji but spend the majority of their time exploring the world. Whenever they encounter anyone enslaved, especially child slaves, Truman uses his considerable resources and Sylvia her large network of friends, comrades, and allies to liberate the enslaved people. They eventually start choosing destinations that are especially dangerous and known to be hotspots of human trafficking or child slavery. It takes more than fifty years, but Truman uses his fame and resources wisely to found an international organization that grows to enormous numbers, and he lives to see the day when he and Sylvia can’t find anywhere on Earth that anyone is still enslaved. During his nineties, he enjoys skydiving, sailing around the islands of Fiji, and writing his memoirs. After his 100th birthday, he decides to get into BASE jumping as a hobby and has many wild adventures before his heart stopped halfway through his jump off the Kaipo Wall. RIP 🤷♀️😄
I love seeing people watch this movie for the first time now, back when it came out the entire concept of Truman being in a TV show was completely spoiled in all the ads. It was hard to appreciate what the film was doing at the time.
Can you imagine somebody filming their lives for people to watch on TV? This was such a far out concept when it came out. Never would I have imagined that this would become 95% of TV shows.
I'm so glad I found your channel, i love how insightful you are and are so entertaining. Amazing reaction as always! Loved the post movie talk, i absolutely agree with you!
They were lucky to select a baby who would become one of the most incredible comedic talents ever. Imagine if they had picked a baby who turned out to be an uninspired introvert. The film was ahead of its time, essentially predicting the future. Now, platforms like TH-cam, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook have people broadcasting their versions of the Truman Show by choice, and 99% of it is just a colossal waste of time. The world has become where the most self-absorbed, talentless individuals record themselves, believing they're stars, just for sponsorship and advertising revenue. It's a sad state of self-aggrandizement.
"one day guys, everything's gonna be free, but you're gonna have to be willing to advertisements up on your walls" but if everything is free why would anybody want to advertise anything to you since you're not gonna pay them o.O
I can still remember the time when we paid per text message and per minute of call. Also, per megabyte of internet. Now it's unlimited everything for a fixed price. I pay 30€ for unlimited text messages, hours of calls and unlimited gigabytes of internet data. There will be a time where it'll all cost pretty much nothing.
Fun fact everyone misses out on is right before Sylvia called Christof, they pretty much hung up on ICC Hague making it look like they hung up instead. ICC prosecute war crimes, Genocide, and crimes against humanity. Which is why it's great that there's not a sequel because even if you could adopt another child and name him truman, Most likely Hague had a chance to prosecute Christof and this wouldn't be allowed anymore. The chances of truman wanting a camera around to be on another TV show would probably be zero so it wouldn't make sense and make a horrible movie.
Yeah... i think its best if you have seen the movie already😅 because you're not the best backseat watcher my guy. You are holding her hand into realizations(giving analysis of the movie) instead of just letting her react without hinting at anything. Its ironic he was like "i don't know what to do" when not speaking was already the right thing to do 😂
Most comments are about the movie, which is ok, the movie is great and has lots of unique moments (and camera angles). Just wanted to appreciate your ramblings after the movie :) I do not think a lot about simulation and superpositions, but i do notice strange things in life, society, which makes you think there is more to it.
2:06 Sirius is the name of the brightest star in the night sky of as of right now I believe, a small nod to the entire sky being artificial as they are inside a dome. 39:37 Also another extremely subtle detail is the bus driver also being the driver for the boat, he is one of the only cast members that actually shows remorse for Truman so him sabotaging the boat and letting him escape was his redemption for sabotaging the bus and not letting him leave for Chicago earlier in the film.
I mean maybe the reason we've never seen any signs of alien life is that is that a super advanced civilization put some kind of refractive field around our solar system that reflects a false reality of the universe. I could think of several reasons a civilization with advanced enough technology might do something like that. Is it likely? Who knows? Dun dun dun.
That moon is shining on the wrong side. When he says "good afternoon good evening and good night" at the end is cause he knew it since the begining or else why would he say that when he leaves home.
I get what you're saying man, how the show inspired you to question what youve taken for granted about your reality. You sound a lot like me in some ways when you're talking about all these questions and hypotheticals. And how The Truman Show is a discussion on how many of us just accept our world view without giving it too much scrutiny like Truman did for much of his life. That in a more complex and systemic way we are all Truman in a sense living in a world that has been spoonfed to us but instead of from one source or director its the byproduct of many directors all vying for control to benefit themselves and that sometimes it isnt inherently malicious but regardless can carry consequences unseen or misunderstood by us all. When you start talking about the simulation idea I know exactly what you mean because even before the matrix came out I understood that everything we perceive is filtered through our perception and is simply input interpreted by our visual cortex and other monitoring systems of our bodies. So from a certain ironic point of view we all blindly accept that we can see the world outside of ourselves but we are really just a bunch of machines in the dark taking information and turning it into a mental image that we then accept as REAL. When we aren't even really sure how to confirm that when you and I look at an apple on a table that we have at one point gestured toward that thing and agreed to use the particular series of utterances to call it an apple but what you see as the apple could look more like what I would call a baseball (As just an absurd example of it being something entirely different than what the other person sees) yet because we cross reference the information in three dimensional relation to ourselves we just assume the other person sees what we see when even the rods and cones in our eyes can change the view of that thing let alone our own brain mass and its network of differently pathed neural synapses. It is really fun and almost overwhelming and sometimes terrifying to think about these things but I just wanted to say I have been watching you guys for a while and I have started to pick up on how your mind works and I have gained a lot of respect for you now because of it and I think about things like this all the time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how this movie inspired that part of you to question the nature of your understanding.
The universe is expanding AT the speed of light or slower, not FASTER than the speed of light. No particle has been found that travels faster than light(such as a tachyon), so it's still a hypothetical particle. #XoXo!
10:41 _"Is that his new little girlfriend? And he sent her off with his buddy? He's not into her that much, is he?"_ My dude, liking someone doesn't mean they need to be around you all the time or that they can't hang out with other people. 26:20 _"Maybe they're together for real. ... Maybe I misread that."_ You 100% misread that.
I have always been prone to paranoia but on a relatively small scale but after watching this as a teen, for two weeks I've been feeling like I'm in a hidden camera, but for real like. Great movie but fucked me up for days :D
This movie is absolutely epic, Jim Carrey is a master, everything he touches basically turns out to be great. What's crazy though is the Japanese guy that basically was the real life Truman, he went on a game show (Nasubi) and was basically kidnapped and became one of the biggest pieces of entertainment in Japan, but what they did to him is far worse than The Truman Show
In a way, yes, he is the director, but he should be better known as the architect/creator, also known as the INTJ. Truman is an ESFP, also known as the Entertaiaer.. if you don't know or understand, then please look into the 16 MBTI personalities. It really is self-explanatory.
As long as we live in a capitalistic society nothing will be free. For instance: We have ZPE technology but the people who figured it out made the mistake of trying to patent it. The government classified everything. It would be bad for gas companies.
If you watch "The Karate Kid part 2" , you'll see the actor who plays the nephew of Sato is also in this movie. The cameo of the Asian family in this movie. It's quick.
You all should check out another trippy movie with Jim Carey - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - it has the chick from Titanic in it too. It's pretty wild.
mr.october, thank you for openmindedness. you know there's a prime rift in philosophical discourse. they are received as traditions. one is continental and the other is analytical. continental is mostly considered as "the old way", european philosophy reaching back to ancient greece and through medieval islamic and christian transition into modern metaphysics. analytical philosophy follows the positivist and science based new tradition that is mainly anglo-american. continental philosophy is ridiculed because society chamions technology, and academy became a market place because of this. however if you ever find a chance to look into the philosophy of Hegel, Schelling and following them the ecole of phenomenology, you can clearly see that we can pierce through that transcendental limit of our "adolescent minds" - comprative to the hyptohetical advanced future versions of ourselves that you mentioned. the real tricky part is to understand what is all this tool-making facet of human adaptation for. are we truly evolutionary creatures, or are we part of a cosmic entity encapsulating consciousness in a non-linear category of time? i wish the best for you both, always a pleasure to hear your opinions on these artistic contents.
My take on why our life experiences and beliefs are so divergent: You are halfway there. We do not know that much of the actual brain processing into experience thought memory. Or what is alive vs a physical process. All they really know is the vast majority of humans us a fraction of the viable working connected parts of their brain- and much of the rest is a mystery as to function method purpose. This opens the idea of unused potential skills or perceptions or even memory and abilities beyond the average waiting for connection. We are all just a mass of electrical signals in water and tissue after all, as is much of our planet- and likely our universe too. Who knows what our full capabilities could become?
There is an episode of History Channel's _The Food That Made America_ that talks about breakfast foods. Two or more even, because there is one just about Pop Tarts.
The wall of ads: as seen in _Fahrenheit 451_ and in _Minority Report_ and in actual reality, if you know where to look. (wearing a _Guinness_ tee as I post this.)
man its crazy how do you live after finding out your world was a lie hes going to be world famous a superstar with everone wanting a piece of him everyone knowing every intimate detail of his life what if truman gets disatified with life again he starts to suspect the world is fake but this time no matter how far he runs or how badly he sabotages his life it doesnt get better they keep telling him not do do things but what if thats the only way to escape next thing you know hes jumping off buildings what is the difference he will suspect any genuine advise he is giving
@@TheOctobersReact First of all, so kind in taking your time in responding. I appreciate the analysis you made, but in my humble opinion the plot is close to the madness of this distopian world in this lack of humanity reality show, rather than a rethink of what is real an what is not.
it,s because you didn't fully get the movie. one of the disturbing things in it is how the audience chears for Trueman to escape despite supporting this inhumane attraction for years and in the very moment. just for the sake of their own entertainment. just like you. what else would like to see? how Trueman meets Sylvia? their first kiss after reunion? how he adopts to rl, finds job, lives happily ever after? show's over dude. go watch your own life

inception matrix all of them after this
Imagine this movie, but instead of a tv show, it's algorithms controlling our life
This was a horror movie and no one can convince me otherwise.
I agréé 100 précent!!! It is accually horror!!
Its a high quality comedy movie with an actual deep story. Most comedies are just slap stick nonsense for killing time.
Yep! TH-cam and other sources list it as a comedy, and sure, it has comedic elements, but so do most other horror movies. It's all horror, though unusual in that it relies on real horror, rather than cheap jump scares and gross-out blood and guts. Better than most horror movies, but still fully a horror movie.
@@PhilBagelswell said!!!! To thé point,🎯so nice comment...need many likes
The music that plays during the end credits definitely gives that surreal world, twilight zone, feel to this movie.

20:36 Good catch! I always thought she had just gotten done eating lunch, but makeup makes a lot more sense!
This is a film that was ahead of its time, as courtesy of social media and influencers, we live in a world of people who would happily be Truman.
Ahead of its time, or foreshadowing a planned future?
Every time I meet someone new: "Your name is Truman...like the Truman Show?"
This movie was made years before the rise of reality TV shows so it was a really new and interesting movie idea. It's also even better on a second watch because you notice the details even more.

What Mr. October said, about not knowing whether a baby will have a good life based on whether or not his or her parents want him or her, is so true.

thanks so much!
Random movie suggestion.
“The Devils Advocate”
It stars Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino.
My favorite Jim Carey mood Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind. It think you both will like it. It explores the sub conscious.
Absolutely. One of my favourite movies, period.
I think the real world had just started or something like this. Who knew that reality tv would become such a thing
Thanks for the reaction and the interesting discussion afterwards. Greetings from Iceland
Thank you for finally watching this!
love Jim.. he is Anime in human form ♥️
I love seeing people watch this movie for the first time now, back when it came out the entire concept of Truman being in a TV show was completely spoiled in all the ads. It was hard to appreciate what the film was doing at the time.

This was such a far out concept when it came out. Never would I have imagined that this would become 95% of TV shows.
We are all Truman. They're showing us.
Dial up as an 'ancient' tech: proof that the exponential is in overdrive.
It's all in the product placement.

I have “in case I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight!” As part of my voicemail.
1984 has never been more relevant, very happy more people can see the potential issues that is facing us/can face us.
Loved getting to know you more in the outro.
Great discussion, have you guys seen or reacted to the Matrix? That movie would be very fitting to see based on your discussion.

if you've seen the movie, just don't talk at all, trying to drop little hints here and there
That really irked me too
The movie is already really effective at dropping all the hints you need.
A perfect movie!

That in a more complex and systemic way we are all Truman in a sense living in a world that has been spoonfed to us but instead of from one source or director its the byproduct of many directors all vying for control to benefit themselves and that sometimes it isnt inherently malicious but regardless can carry consequences unseen or misunderstood by us all. When you start talking about the simulation idea I know exactly what you mean because even before the matrix came out I understood that everything we perceive is filtered through our perception and is simply input interpreted by our visual cortex and other monitoring systems of our bodies. So from a certain ironic point of view we all blindly accept that we can see the world outside of ourselves but we are really just a bunch of machines in the dark taking information and turning it into a mental image that we then accept as REAL. When we aren't even really sure how to confirm that when you and I look at an apple on a table that we have at one point gestured toward that thing and agreed to use the particular series of utterances to call it an apple but what you see as the apple could look more like what I would call a baseball (As just an absurd example of it being something entirely different than what the other person sees) yet because we cross reference the information in three dimensional relation to ourselves we just assume the other person sees what we see when even the rods and cones in our eyes can change the view of that thing let alone our own brain mass and its network of differently pathed neural synapses. It is really fun and almost overwhelming and sometimes terrifying to think about these things but I just wanted to say I have been watching you guys for a while and I have started to pick up on how your mind works and I have gained a lot of respect for you now because of it and I think about things like this all the time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how this movie inspired that part of you to question the nature of your understanding.
The universe is expanding AT the speed of light or slower, not FASTER than the speed of light. No particle has been found that travels faster than light(such as a tachyon), so it's still a hypothetical particle. #XoXo!
10:41 _"Is that his new little girlfriend? And he sent her off with his buddy? He's not into her that much, is he?"_
My dude, liking someone doesn't mean they need to be around you all the time or that they can't hang out with other people.
26:20 _"Maybe they're together for real. ... Maybe I misread that."_
You 100% misread that.
"She brings all her boyfriends down here." On the contrary, he brought her there.
I have always been prone to paranoia but on a relatively small scale but after watching this as a teen, for two weeks I've been feeling like I'm in a hidden camera, but for real like. Great movie but fucked me up for days :D
Man, you can't keep a secret
It's cool, he's still missing loads. Only knowing part of the story, then telling, that doesn't get u in deep 💩
This should be classified as a horror movie
A great futuristic movie, which goes along with your outtro discussion, is Idiocracy.
This movie is absolutely epic, Jim Carrey is a master, everything he touches basically turns out to be great. What's crazy though is the Japanese guy that basically was the real life Truman, he went on a game show (Nasubi) and was basically kidnapped and became one of the biggest pieces of entertainment in Japan, but what they did to him is far worse than The Truman Show
So you think the dome is made of plaster? Pretty hard to have enough plaster to hold up a dome you can see from space.
The more you watch it, the more you see all the hidden cameras everywhere.
In a way, yes, he is the director, but he should be better known as the architect/creator, also known as the INTJ. Truman is an ESFP, also known as the Entertaiaer.. if you don't know or understand, then please look into the 16 MBTI personalities. It really is self-explanatory.
Jeez poor girl had to take a quiz thur the entire reaction
I love all animals, btw. Not a dog or cat person-I love birds and have had reptiles. Don't think you have to pick. :)
Stop hittin’ the reefer sauce 🤣
Yeah you🫵🏼. 😂😂
hahah i put it on everything! i showed it in a video just for you i cannot even remember which one lol
Deep that - Your conversation... You should've kept it going... I'd listen... .. .
Nothing is free. Everything has to be paid for.
I predict confusion haha
There is no spoon. 😎
Girl - when you start think/feeling that way, its a sign you're on your way to an AWAKENING.
And how far have u gotten in that, what's the latest thing to have blown ur mind hole?
As long as we live in a capitalistic society nothing will be free. For instance: We have ZPE technology but the people who figured it out made the mistake of trying to patent it. The government classified everything. It would be bad for gas companies.
Would love to hear Jim Carreys thoughts on this movie now, after, well......
If you watch "The Karate Kid part 2" , you'll see the actor who plays the nephew of Sato is also in this movie. The cameo of the Asian family in this movie. It's quick.
YES and he is also in I think Better Off Dead

Are y’all From Kentucky? If so hello neighbor! Kentucky here!
georgia! lol it was a KFC t shirt lol
Super science and philosophy.
Movies with Doc Oct. 🍿😎
Watch Gattaca next! It's by the same writer!
You all should check out another trippy movie with Jim Carey - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - it has the chick from Titanic in it too. It's pretty wild.
mr.october, thank you for openmindedness. you know there's a prime rift in philosophical discourse. they are received as traditions. one is continental and the other is analytical. continental is mostly considered as "the old way", european philosophy reaching back to ancient greece and through medieval islamic and christian transition into modern metaphysics. analytical philosophy follows the positivist and science based new tradition that is mainly anglo-american. continental philosophy is ridiculed because society chamions technology, and academy became a market place because of this. however if you ever find a chance to look into the philosophy of Hegel, Schelling and following them the ecole of phenomenology, you can clearly see that we can pierce through that transcendental limit of our "adolescent minds" - comprative to the hyptohetical advanced future versions of ourselves that you mentioned. the real tricky part is to understand what is all this tool-making facet of human adaptation for. are we truly evolutionary creatures, or are we part of a cosmic entity encapsulating consciousness in a non-linear category of time? i wish the best for you both, always a pleasure to hear your opinions on these artistic contents.
It a product is free..... Then YOU are the product sold.
beret. Dont you ever listen to Prince songs?
Love you guys! Always great reactions!

My take on why our life experiences and beliefs are so divergent:
You are halfway there.
We do not know that much of the actual brain processing into experience thought memory. Or what is alive vs a physical process.
All they really know is the vast majority of humans us a fraction of the viable working connected parts of their brain- and much of the rest is a mystery as to function method purpose.
This opens the idea of unused potential skills or perceptions or even memory and abilities beyond the average waiting for connection.
We are all just a mass of electrical signals in water and tissue after all, as is much of our planet- and likely our universe too.
Who knows what our full capabilities could become?
Why am I paranoid again lol
There is an episode of History Channel's _The Food That Made America_ that talks about breakfast foods. Two or more even, because there is one just about Pop Tarts.
The wall of ads: as seen in _Fahrenheit 451_ and in _Minority Report_ and in actual reality, if you know where to look. (wearing a _Guinness_ tee as I post this.)
man its crazy how do you live after finding out your world was a lie
hes going to be world famous a superstar with everone wanting a piece of him everyone knowing every intimate detail of his life
what if truman gets disatified with life again
he starts to suspect the world is fake but this time no matter how far he runs or how badly he sabotages his life it doesnt get better
they keep telling him not do do things but what if thats the only way to escape next thing you know hes jumping off buildings what is the difference he will suspect any genuine advise he is giving
Guys, as a hard conspiracionist believers you are, I was sure the after movie comments would be more interesting than the reaction itself.
To be honest, I don’t really know what conspiracy theories I have endorsed. Everything I was saying was pure hypothetical.
@@TheOctobersReact First of all, so kind in taking your time in responding.
I appreciate the analysis you made, but in my humble opinion the plot is close to the madness of this distopian world in this lack of humanity reality show, rather than a rethink of what is real an what is not.
No I agree. And you can see it now more then ever how people don’t value human life anymore.
But my point is if a dome can trick Truman, what can trick us? Everything from the media to the extreme hypotheticals like simulation theory
@@TheOctobersReact Agree 100% (first comment).
Reality is an illusion caused by the lack of alcohol-
I honestly hated ending so much because he didnt meet with that girl. It felt like movie is really missing that part, alteast for me.
it,s because you didn't fully get the movie. one of the disturbing things in it is how the audience chears for Trueman to escape despite supporting this inhumane attraction for years and in the very moment. just for the sake of their own entertainment. just like you. what else would like to see? how Trueman meets Sylvia? their first kiss after reunion? how he adopts to rl, finds job, lives happily ever after?
show's over dude. go watch your own life
This movie is about *US PEOPLE FROM EARTH*
Its pretty much like these family vloggers exploiting their kids from birth
