    You don’t get to see what happens after Truman leaves the set because it’s now his private life. I always took it as commentary on how we look at the audience of the Truman show as if we wouldn’t watch something like this but in reality our curiosity probably would get the better of us. We end up in the same place as the fictitious audience.

      Yeah and there is nothing specific they could shown that wouldn’t be an imperfect sort of let down.
      Him and Sylvia on a yacht with a newspaper article about how he won a $10 billion settlement…?
      Although I’d just be curious if the friend character would ever try to reach out and apologize for his extra levels of betrayal as each other’s alleged best friend for life.

      I also think that the movie ends on the perfect spot.
      Everything in it, except from the moon room and the viewers' reactions, is shown by a camera that is actually a part of the world.
      As soon as Truman leaves the world, there are no cameras there to show him anymore. (And none in his head, too)
      You could tell a different story of him and Sylvia living their lives from the royalties of the show - but you better should not - no sequels, please.
      Everyone is allowed to make up their own ending to that, and that's fine, it even makes the original story better.
      Now, move on. What else is on?

    "Keep your fingers crossed" means to hope for luck/success/the best.

    Regarding the finger crossing at 12:38 - There are two idiomatic meanings of crossing fingers, one that suggests lying, but the other that suggests luck. The film is playing on both meanings in a clever fashion. When she crosses her fingers in the picture, it means that she was lying when she made her marriage vows. On the other hand, when Truman says "I'll cross my fingers for you", he is using that in the sense of wishing her luck. But he says it with a tone of veiled sarcasm that suggests a subtext of "I'm saying good luck - but I really mean that I'm starting to be suspicious that you are lying". It's his delivery of the line that makes the double meaning effective here.

    "But why they don't allow her to be with him?" In my view, the cheerleader was an actress specifically chosen to be his love interest, while Sylvia was just an extra. The production team already had their plans in place for the show (and I'm sure the cheerleader had a contract in place covering some stretch of time); they couldn't allow a "wildcard" extra to disrupt things.

    The Truman Show is one of my all-time favorite movies. I was lucky enough to watch it in the theaters as a teenager. The fact that Jim Carrey and the movie got snubbed for Best Actor and Best Picture is still ridiculous to me. It seemed like just science fiction back then, but with the way technology has progressed, a scaled-down version of this could absolutely happen. It portrays a special kind of paranoia. It makes you want to question your surroundings; how much of what we think is reality is actually real? Are you being watched? Is your family even your family? What "truths" you know are actually lies? Truman's gradual process of noticing things and slowly breaking it all down is always fun to watch. There are lots of little details that you'll only catch on multiple rewatches, like the "You Are Now Leaving Seahaven Island! Are You Sure It's A Good Idea?" sign just before he drives across the bridge.
    The production is really interesting; several things were changed between script drafts. One of the early scripts was much darker, with the fake setting being in New York, the escape being longer and more violent, including Truman shooting down a helicopter, going through the exit door and sneaking out of the studio lot, holding a flare gun to a tour guide's head, and an in-person confrontation Christof. The sentence, "You never had a camera in my head" was always there, but it was in a darker context; originally, Truman said it as he was about to throw himself and Christof from the top of a building. In the movie's official companion book, it's revealed that the guy in the bathtub died when his TV fell in the water. The Nick At Nite promotional featurette reveals that Marlon drinks all the time as a coping mechanism for what his life has become. You should check out the deleted scenes, too; one shows that Marlon actually found Truman during the search at the end, but deliberately let him escape. Regardless, there's no way the show would've lasted; the actors are terrible at improvising under unpredictable conditions, and Truman's natural curiosity was going to win out over fear in the long run. It's a great message about embracing one's nature, not denying it, taking risks, and seeking truth. And yeah, that's one of the best endings I've ever seen.

    The crossing of fingers has a double meaning in this film. Firstly, (in the wedding photo), crossing fingers while making a promise or vow indicates that you don't really mean it, there is a high likelihood that the promise will be broken. Secondly, it can indicate that you wish, hope or need luck for something, so crossing fingers brings good luck. A lot of reactors I've viewed are unfamiliar, especially with the first use. Is this something that is no longer done? A trend from the past or do people still do it?

    Crossing your fingers has 2 meanings (which may be something peculiar to American culture and similar ones). One is where you wish for luck or something fortunate to happen. The other is when you’re lying or not actually intending to keep a promise you’re claiming to make (like swearing that you’re telling the truth), essentially being insincere, like the actress playing Meryl when she “marries” Truman but only her character and for the show (which Truman himself didn’t know).

    Comedian Robin Williams also wanted to branch out into serious movies and got the same director to guide him through "Dead Poet's Society"
    And so we come to this move. Peter Weir also directed it... because Jim Carey wanted to try a more serious role and felt that since Weir had shown he could do it before...

    Hypothetical sequel: documentary format with narrator hypothesizing about his exit from the dome, his reunion with Sylvia, & what they've been doing since, w footage provided by traffic cam, ATM cam, cellphones, paparazzi, accidental news footage (they're in the background), security camera footage, etc. Narrator mentions Christof's legal woes & the fact that audience pushback forced the studio for offer Truman 30 years back pay!
    My theory about the tour bus is that it normally circles the town carrying fans. Obviously, it never leaves the set (unless thru the stage doors Truman & Meryl were on when the production so frantically stopped them.
    My theory is that the "mainland" is usually used as storage/backstage. Notice the so-called "forest fire" never ignited the trees? They'd be too hard to replace, plus the smoke would betray the downward slope of the down!
    My theory about the cop who recognized Truman is that he was an actor who wanted a bit part on the show. An hour earlier, he was home watching the show, when he got the frantic call from the production team.
    No one ever seems to understand the ending, making me wonder if you listened to Christoff in the intro. He promised no scripts. Yet, as the show progressed, there were obviously scripted arcs, such as the actress playing Meryl constructed to become his wife; & Sylvia contracted to just be a schoolmate/tease. This undoubtedly disillusioned a lot of fans.
    When Truman woke up to his reality & began testing the limits of his cage, it became real again. They were rooting for him to escape. When he finally did, they cheered because it felt real & unscripted! Those with friends or family involved in the production knew the studio was panicking! Wanna bet the studio sued Christoff for effing up so badly they went off the air?
    The signage behind Sylvia shows she's part of a movement to free him. Her teammates probably staged the falling studio lights & irregular rain shows as a way of indicating "reality" wasn't real.
    Unfortunately, Christoff was correct in the intro: we accept the reality we're presented with. He was, at most, a couple days old, when his actor "mom" & "dad" took him into the dome set...so he's never seen a real rainbow, a real eclipse, a real dawn or a real dusk. The moon neither rises nor sets; nor gets farther or nearer! Most of the town are mockups (like the building with supposedly 1? working elevator; or partial sets like the hospital, where real doctors can talk actors thru scenes, or can take over if Truman needs surgery.
    Kurt, Truman's fake dad, snuck on the set; & when production realized who this extra was, they huzzled him away.
    The fun part is spotting all the cameras built into the sets on 2nd viewing. It never would've occurred to me to look at the low fence along the lawn if not for Truman's fanny shot!

  • @sushijuice6895
    @sushijuice6895 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    i think its because they already like Cast his wife for the show so they introduced her as the love interest but he wasnt going for her he was more attracted to the girl he liked and they saw this as a problem because the girl he liked was more of a background character like a TV Extra , just someone to be in the background so they werent sure that she would keep up the act or if she could be controlled. Because as we saw later on she immediately told Truman that everything is fake , she loved Truman and so she wanted to help him realize that his life was a lie

    One thing that I never understand about this movie is why would Truman ever get suspicious? I mean he was born in that world and I'm sure the glitches and odd occurrences must have been happening his entire life, so why would they now lead to him questioning everything? If all he has ever known is that world he wouldn't think what was happening was weird...

    Ed Harris was nominated for an Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this role, but lost to James Coburn.
    I believe the supprting cast always has to do more to be considered for an Oscar, as they really can shine against the main characters.
    But I think Laura Linney also deserved one for playing Meryl, the advertiser while pretender.
    In the car scene, when they were about to get stopped you could see her showing a glimmer of hope to get out of the situation while trying to keep up her facade against Truman next to her.
    And the desperation in the final breakdown with the unintentional fourth wall break - that was far from 'unprofessional'. A great actress portraying a bad one.
