The fact that he said “Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Goodnight” Christof wanted some grand speech, but Truman got the last laugh by using the line they had heard at the start of every episode.
he wanted Truman to break down, to have an emotional break and return. To admit he was terrified of the outside world. Instead Truman turns, at the words "you're live on the air to the whole world" and realizes he needs to be a part of that world. So, he greets them. For the first time on purpose he greets the world. The world he is about to join. Christof knows it too. He understands with horror that the greeting means he made up his mind to leave.
The fact that it’s his one liner is also Truman’s perfect revenge against Christof - it leaves just a bit of doubt whether Christof’s whole experiment was true, or whether Truman was just one of the many actors he hired over the years.
Saddest and most uplifting part of the film. In touching the wall he confirms his suspicions that everything he knew was a lie, yet at the very same time he is now completely free. I freaking love this scene, and this whole movie.
I kinda wish they would've had a few minutes of movie after he escapes to see what he does or where he goes. What he feels like out of there. But I guess that's as good of time of any to end the series.
@@Capybarainahumansuit I think they did that on purpose tho. We want to know but so does the audience in the movie that we despise for supporting this show. Yeah it’s actually fake when we watch it but it’s a cool parallel they draw between us and the audience in the movie.
As Truman walked out the door, he found himself stepping into the real world, outside of the carefully constructed set that had been his entire life. The shock of the sudden change overwhelmed him as he blinked in the brightness of the sun and felt the fresh breeze on his face. Truman was initially disoriented, but as he looked around, he realized he was surrounded by a crowd of people. News cameras were rolling, capturing every moment of his emergence into the real world. The world had been captivated by his story, and the revelation of his life being a reality show had shocked and fascinated millions. Truman's wife, Meryl, who had been part of the elaborate ruse that kept him trapped in Seahaven, stood among the onlookers, tears streaming down her face. She tried to approach Truman, but he held up a hand to stop her. He looked around, searching for someone in particular. Finally, Truman spotted Christof, the creator and director of "The Truman Show," who had orchestrated his life from behind the scenes. Christof, who had become obsessed with Truman's life and had controlled every aspect of it for decades, stood in the crowd, looking somber and remorseful. Truman walked towards Christof, his emotions swirling inside him. He confronted Christof, demanding answers for the manipulation and deceit that had been inflicted upon him his entire life. The two engaged in a heated exchange, with Truman expressing his anger and betrayal, and Christof attempting to justify his actions. But Truman's determination was unwavering. He refused to let Christof control him any longer. With a newfound sense of freedom, Truman turned away from Christof and walked away, leaving behind the cameras and the crowd. He was determined to live his life on his own terms, free from the constraints of the artificial world that had entrapped him for so long. In the aftermath of Truman's escape, the truth about "The Truman Show" came to light, sparking a global conversation about ethics, privacy, and the boundaries of reality television. Christof faced legal repercussions for his actions, and the show was ultimately shut down. As for Truman, he embraced his new reality with open arms. He reconnected with his long-lost love, Sylvia, who had been silenced and hidden from him by Christof. They embarked on a journey to discover the world together, experiencing the joys and challenges of life outside of the constructed bubble he had once inhabited. Truman's story became an inspiration to many, a symbol of resilience and the triumph of the human spirit. He found happiness in the simple moments of life, appreciating the beauty of the real world and the genuine connections he made along the way. Truman's life continued to be an extraordinary adventure, filled with ups and downs, but he navigated it with authenticity and a newfound appreciation for the true reality that surrounded him.
I love the fact the movie ends with him leaving because like the viewers in the movie we don’t either get to see his reaction and his life from that point
I like to imagine nobody ever heard from Truman again, except for perhaps Sylvia. He went and lived a quiet, peaceful life in a remote place, far from anyone who'd recognise him, far from the life of a celebrity. Finally got some freedom and privacy.
I would imagine that would have been very tough for him. It's like raising a wild animal, providing for it's every need into adulthood, then releasing it in the wild and expecting it to be self sustaining. I would imagine Truman would have needed a lot of help in the first few years after leaving the show, building life skills that he did not have to deal with previously. In the first few years, he would likely need to lean on his celebrity to sustain him while building those life skills.
@@RageDaugyeah. It would be relatively confusing for him. He would absolutely get tons of money still though, the show would have to pay him for his time, for psychological damages etc… and he would also be able to appear as a guest star for money boahblah. But like you said, lean on his celebrity status
@@RageDaugI don’t think he would have had to lean on anything. He’d never been paid. It was slave labor without his knowledge. His lawsuit would make him the richest man on the planet.
"You never had a camera in my head!" One of my favorite lines in this film. To use a line from another great film, Kingdom of Heaven, "A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power."
I love to get lost in the fantasy of the ending to this movie every now and again and inevitably there are always comments about wanting a sequel or some fantasy about what happens afterwards, but this is the way it should be. The rest of his life should be his own and none of our business. Let him be human for what's left of his life.
I'm happy either way. The film is great on it's own, but I'm open to the idea of a second. How would he live with a cult of personality following him, could he sue Kristoff for everything he owns because Kristoff owned everything of Truman's life. There are a great many ways a sequel could go, but in the end I'm content with what we got and more importantly he got.
I just love the shot at 01:20 He faced his fear over the water, conquered the "storm"(the studio trying to stop him) and is just enjoying the sailing. He looks so free.
One of those small things that can catch you off guard and make you cry. We’ve all had those small moments of appreciation, joy in the midst of a storm. You can see it all on his face, the first book of the Bible: “Yes…. This is good. Life is worth it.”
@@Dgoc813 "The Truth will set you free" For all his life, Truman has been afraid, but now he's no longer afraid and is free to enjoy the wonders around him while moving forward
Add that to him basically dying and coming back to life through the storm, his crucified posture at 0:17, the creator willing to sacrifice him for the sake of the audience... Truman does plenty of jesusing throughout this film
@@UrSammich No, he didn't even get nominated. It was nominated for best director, best supporting actor (for Truman's best "friend") and best original screenplay (losing to Saving Private Ryan, Affliction and Shakespeare in Love respectively). That said, it did win a 3 Golden Globes including one for Jim Carey's (best actor).
2:24 This is honestly my favorite part of the scene the music rising then cutting to Truman banging on the wall crying. He’s devastated to find out his whole life was a lie,sure he already knew that but getting 100 percent confirmation is just too much for him and he just lays there. However there is a sense of happiness its the thing he wanted most,something real he even bangs on wall just to check it’s real. God Jim Carrey is an amazing actor.
I actually teared up at this scene. With the orchestra playing and no other audio, it hit me almost as much as it hit the character: His life is a lie, he's been lied to by everybody. One of the most beautiful movies ever made.
Confusing and constantly asking questions instead of focusing on the film. I know this because I went in not knowing a thing so half way through I paused and looked online.
The original script was more like that. It was much more darker and more "90s" so to speak. And the reveal that it was a tv show would have been a twist later in the film. Look up the original script, its an interesting read!
Defining moment in film history. Captures everything. Orchestra symphony to the personal struggles we all must sometimes make to escape a world of being conditioned.
@@aonary5382 The US is so large that I can go explore for 2000 miles in any direction and still be in the USA. So yeah, your whole point has just been debunked.
@@minutemansam1214 yeah, Canadians, Russians, Brazilians and Australians all have passports and travel the world, they generally aren't so ignorant to think that just because their country is geographically large they don't need to see anywhere else. You realise 98% of the world's land area is not the USA right? Plus North Korea is a small country yet most of their citizens also don't have passports, because their government has suppressed their urge to explore. So your whole point has just been debunked.....infact, your comment has just proven my point, you have no urge to explore beyond your own borders
But you will never go beyond the ice wall they fool you into thinking is a continent… think about it is there any bit of land on the earth not owned by a single country. There is none. The Antarctic treaty signed by most if not all countries is an agreement to keep what is beyond the ice wall battier a secret and so you are not allowed to go there…people are so dumbed down and pacified with technology and women who think having their face altered is more important while dressing like harlots to attract pea brained males to keep them pacified… we are all living in the Truman show controlled by satan.. you are all just so pacified brainwashed and stupid.. E
Allow me: I don't believe that is true. The masses, more and more, like a strong leader figure and being told what to do, all over the world. Only a very small number refuse the "order" and seek freedom, which always has a high price.
Actually it isn’t. People in this country are rejecting democracy for Christofascism. People hate freedom. They prefer slave based societies with rigidly enforced socioeconomic hierarchies. They want boots to lick, and dogs to kick.
The directorial restraint at 2:28 to play that with just music, which only adds to the sense of helplessness and tragedy he’s feeling. There were so many ways to shoot that and this choice was such a genius idea.
No one could have done this role justice like he did. I think what makes this scene so powerful, besides the wonderful score, is Carrey’s ability to use his body to say so many things that you just can’t properly put into words. You watch him bang on the wall and begin to fall apart and you know exactly what he’s feeling all without seeing his face for SO LONG. The way he goes from angrily banging against the wall to desperately slapping at it with his limp and open hand as the realization washes over him. You’re with him in every way in that moment. The same thing happens again when the Director is pleading with him. You see the back of his head, the way he reacts to the words being said. Him subtly wiping away his tears before he finally turns around. One of the greatest performances in film, hands down.
Yet some people have the audacity to say they dislike him and the same thing with Adam Sandler. Both truly good people on and off set, truly inspiring individuals
This scene is a very powerful metaphor for that moment in our lives when we realise we have been conditioned a certain way our whole life and we finally break free from that conditioning, and henceforth become our true self...
@@octhorror I agree. Easier said than done. The cage is very convincing and comforting and many people never break free from it, which isn't always necessarily a bad thing...
@@tetefelix3399I will say that I am not defending him but He thought of Truman as a character not a person, like generally people don’t feel bad for killing a mob in a video games because it’s “not real”.
I love how society-the viewers-just goes along with the fact that some guy has unknowingly been held captive in a Potemkin village by a cable television corporation his whole life without so much as a single cry of human rights violations.
There seems to be a fairly big cry in the movie's world--the movie pretty strongly implies or outright shows that Sylvia isn't just some lone wolf in the Free Truman movement.
To be fair that was the best ending the show could have ever had and the show will be in reruns for decades. Or the five minutes it takes for a lawyer to find Truman and convince him to sue for enslavement, abuse of his likeness, stalking, unjust imprisonment, and any other charges that would have applied the moment he became a legal adult and they could no longer make decisions on his behalf.
That's also what made his story so tragic. More than other people, he always wanted to have adventures and explore the world, yet they trapped him from the very beginning.
His story is heavily known to my people, but we see him as a villain, a foreshadowing of the fate of my country. How he couldn't persuade his king, had to negotiate with another king, his expedition crew did not have his full loyalty, and when he discovered a new land, he forced the natives to pay tribute to him, then waged war and died. The first Spanish invader, and because of his discovery, led to 333 years of cruelty, slavery and much death
2:03 This, to me, is the saddest part of the whole movie. He realizes from here that he was right about everything being a set up, but then the gravity of the situation crashes on him that he was trapped since birth. And the music just really settles that mood.
This is absolutely Jim’s Forrest Gump. It’s his Magnum Opus. A guy who went from making cheesy comedy movies to making one of the greatest movies in modern cinema. Seaside Florida (where this was filmed) is probably the most beautiful city in Florida as some one who was born and raised.
"Say something, god damn it! You're on television. You're live to the whole world." I really liked this movie but not that particular line. Christof shows his true selfishness and narcissism. Everyone cheered because, while they liked Truman, they did not like the deception.
Christof was selfish, he exploited Truman and was willing to kill him for television ratings. He was an artist, not a good samaritan I think he was also banking on the human desire to be famous and loved that he wanted to draw out of Truman, “You’re a celebrity” like
@@mariajoselleferrer5058 Not to mention that the whole magic and mystique of the show would be gone. The whole point of the Truman Show (the show in the movie, not the movie) was that he wasn't playing it up to a camera or an audience. He was a completely authentic human being that the whole world got to see, warts and all. Now that he knew he was on a show, that's all over. He'd be just another actor and the show would end anyway. Christof really had no control over the situation anymore. He was just clutching at anything to stay on the air for just one more minute, one more hour, one more day.
Biggest messup by Christof: "Say something, goddamit! You are on television.". It it wasn't for this line, maybe Truman would have taken Christof's offer.
My opinion is it happens a LITTLE earlier than that. "The episode when you lost your first tooth" That line, at least to me, showcases that despite making a TV show around his life, Christof doesn't realise that, to Truman, those were moments of his life. Not "an episode."
Imagine the amount of money he'd get when he leaved the set. He'd never have to worry about money anymore, and could dedicate himself to build a real life.
3:01. It shows all this time he's had doubts that maybe he's insane and it shows both happiness and sadness. Happy because he was right, sad because everything and everyone he knew (other than Sylvia) was a lie. Jim fucking acted this so well.
Such a good representation of the indomitable human will against the harsh indifference of the universe. More importantly, it showed that you can't prevent Truman from following what he loves: Adventure and Sylvia.
Well said.. it comes off as a light hearted movie... but the more and more I dwell on this film the more deeply disturbed and horrified I become. It absolutely is a horroe movie. Everything was fake.... his family friends, every conversation he ever had.... everytime he went to the toilet etc etc... the entire world was watching. He would be a complete wreck after he leaves with permanent emotional damage.. this film is a masterpiece.... because it stays with you long after viewing has finished
Imagine truman after all this looking into the faces of all the people he trusted and thought were his friends, especially his "parents." That would be something I'd love to watch
I like to imagine Truman going out the exit and going into the real world, already bustling with fans and reporters and journalists crowding the exit. When Truman sees them, he nervously says hi in one of his many cute phrases. The fans begin freaking out and trying to talk to him, reporters are shoving microphones and cameras in his face and journalists are constantly trying to ask him questions. He tried to calm everyone down but they continue and he becomes over stimulated and anxious and begins freaking out. They close in on him and he realizes his only way out would be back through the door. But he can’t do that obviously, or he’s be trapped in the cage again. But to his rescue comes Silvia who yanks him by the wrist and for a second, Truman is freaked out thinking it’s an obsessed fan but face softens when he realizes it’s Silvia. She gives him that smile and pulls him along while the mass of reporters and fans chase them. She pulls him into the passenger seat of her car and tries todrive off but people crowd the car and bang on the windows, demanding for Truman. Truman starts freaking out and tries to tell them to leave, but they don’t listen and try to opens the door. Some of the fans are completely dressed from head to toe in Truman merch and a few even have “Marry me Truman!” With the fan’s head on a bride and his on a grooms, on a customizable shirt. Truman doesn’t know what they’ll do when they get in, but he doesn’t want to know. Silvia honks her horn loudly and tries toget them to move, and that startles some at the front enough for her to pull forward and get out of there. When they reach Silvia’s house Truman sees all the free Truman stuff hanging around. A tear comes to his eye and gives a silly remark about it all. Soon, (perhaps after few days) Silvia tells Truman that they should sue Christof and his company. Truman would love to do that, but since he doesn’t have a cent to his name (given as all his money was props) he had no money to pay for an attorney. Silvia says she can pay for it with her savings but Truman refuses to have her pay with that. Silvia tells him that if the lawsuit was successful they’d get 100s of Millions of dollars that the show made over the last 30 years. But Truman tells her if it isn’t, they’ll be broke or even heavily in dept. But Silvia is confident and wants justice for Truman more than he does. He smiles at this, knowing she truly cares about him. Unlike Meryl. Or anyone on the show to be frank. Truman continues to get harassed by fans in the streets and is sometimes looked at in weird ways. He tried to stay inside but his urge for exploration prevented him from doing so. (He continues to get recognized and harassed by fans until his early 70’s) A week later Truman starts therapy for what happened to him, and he notices in the waiting room a sign was plastered that said the Truman show was always playing there. Before it ended anyway. So as soon as he sat down and brought up a newspaper, he noticed everyone staring at him and made him feel extremely uncomfortable and he shuffled down farther in his seat. When goes to sign in with the front desk lady, her jaw is dropped the whole time and she asks for his autograph. He reluctantly agrees, not wanting any of this attention. His therapist was not a huge fan of the show, but of course, like everyone, knew of its existence. So even he’s surprised when he walked in. Truman’s therapist helps him get over his trauma of everything on the show and his fear of still being filmed or he may still be on tv. After years of therapy, Truman isn’t completely healed. That kind of stuff sticks with you. But he’s much better than what he once was. What about the lawsuit? Well Silvia filed it anyway, and against Truman pleading her not to, she withdrew all her money from all her accounts and got them a really good attorney. After a trial that went on for 3 months, Silvia and Truman were able to squeeze 780.1 MILLION dollars out of the company, and they were both incredibly happy. During the entire thing Christof stared at Truman longingly, as this was his first time seeing him in person. Sometimes he’d catch Christof miming stroking Truman’s hair, like he did with a screen. It creeped him out and made him dislike Christof more than he already did. Silvia and Truman decided with the amount of money they had, they could go to the Fiji islands and do what Truman had always wanted to do. Explore. Every few months Truman and Silvia would leave their home island, Viti Levu (One of the Fiji Islands) and explore one not seen by many. They’d even get to go explore new islands no human had ever stepped foot on. Truman would also go back to American from time to time to do interviews, to make sure they kept a good amount of income. Christof past away from alcohol poisoning, as soon after the show ended he became depressed and drank plenty when Truman was around 54-55. They continued exploring until their late sixties when they decided to retire and live the rest of their lives relaxing on the beautiful islands of Fiji, exploring new places around the world every few months, but for mere vacations and not real “adventuring”. But they got to see just as many new things. There’s my happy ending to Truman’s story :)
I liked that. The movie made Trumans ending ambiguous (as it should) since he's not being filmed anymore and whatever he does with his life is his business and the fans already know too much about him. Your story was interesting to listen to because it delved into the reality of the situation (Truman can never live a normal life of solitude). Another story I heard about is that Christoff chooses another baby and reboots the show and by the time Truman learns about it, it would already be too late, and the new Truman would be in his 70s-80s in a hospital bed surrounded by his fake family, fake friends, etc. Truman decides to let it go to spare the guy the existential crisis and let him die ignorant and happy.
@@SebastienGendron-uk4po that is interesting, but I wonder what would’ve made him take so long to hear about it. Wouldn’t the original Truman be one of the first people to learn about it? Perhaps over tv or overhearing people talking about it, or people coming up to him and be like, “Hey Truman! You’ve seen this?” But if that did happen that’d be really sad. But also, if the new Truman was 70-80 and in his death bed, wouldn’t the og Truman already be dead lol?
@@DaVickster1078 Yeah, I definitely overlooked those points but nonetheless, Truman's fate at the end of the movie is left up to the imagination and needs no real sequel. This begs the question; can Truman even sue them if he was legally adopted by the same corporation? Is he considered an American if you take into account how many documents, they had to forge to fool him into this made-up world? Is Truman considered property?
@@SebastienGendron-uk4po Yeah it’s great for discussion and imagining Truman’s fate yourself. I hope he was able to sue the hell out of them for everything they did. Perhaps since he didn’t even have a contract with the company, would it make it harder to sue? *Is* he considered property? If so, would they have the legal obligation to do whatever they want with him? Christof said if he really wanted to discover the truth, they wouldn’t be able to stop him, yet they *tried* at every turn. Would it be the same about just letting him go? I mean, he’s the most famous person in the world. Does he even have unalienable rights like other Americans? So many questions, that I’m glad are left unanswered. Perfect ending to a perfect movie, with lots of speculations and questions about Truman’s future left for discussion ^^
The real tragedy of this movie’s ending is despite the fact that Truman’s finally free from the show’s grasp, his life will never be normal considering he’s the most famous man on Earth.
I have always loved this movie, it's up there on my top 10, but rewatching this scene today, all I can think is, "Who tucks in a sweater that thick???"
How about "Who the hell was dumb enough to install a door that said 'exit' in big bold letters just in the middle of nowhere? What if Truman found the door and saw the word 'exit' on it, leading him to knowing that it's the exit of the fake world?"
I feel like this movie was ahead of its time considering today how imprisoned we are on social media. Everyone can see your life. You’re Truman AND the director.
If this score didnt get at least a nomination theres something wrong with this world. Combining that with the legend Jim Carreys and everyone elses skills makes this the most emotional and satisfying ending ever to the greatest movie ever.😭
I love the duality of the 2 soundtracks in this ending. A more sad, but peaceful track when he is sailing. Representing him thinking he is finally at peace but sad because we as the audience all know that the peace he feels is short lived and fake. But then when he finds out and goes to the exit the soundtrack is more grandiose and satisfying. Representing that he can finally have TRUE peace without anyone watching his every move, but also a satisfying ending for both us as the real life audience and the fictional audience watching truman say his goodbye and leave the dome. Sorry if yall were expecting an in depth analysis of this scene but this is the best I've got. Let's just all agree, this is one of the best movies ever made.
That last piece is actually reused from an earlier film - Mishima:A Life In Four Chapters, by Paul Schrader. Ironically it's used in that film for the moment when Mishima kills himself.
OMFG! Jim Carrey. 2:20 that utter sense of despair that just sinks into his face. He acted this scene absolutely PERFECT. Then later 3:00 the anguish that hits him. That he was right the whole time. Yet he still unable to be in control of his life. Who woulda thought a man of comedy, coulda presented such a devastatingly emotional and dramatic scene. Jim Carrey is an absolute legend.
The music is so damn perfect. I also love the shot at 1:05, with all the production staff just watching the screen. The staff who controlled Truman's life all that time are as helpless as the viewers in that moment.
It always pissed me off how the director was trying to be so gentle and caring and he actually believes he is. Being so soft spoken and profound and yet the one person he thinks he cares for the most has been trapped in a cage of confusion and mockery his entire existence. We’ll acted but so aggravating

ese momento tan satisfactorio y triste; triste porque descubres q tu vida ha sido una mentira, satisfecho de descubrir la verdad y llegar al final del camino
When I watched it in 1998 I was haunted by the music.Of course I noticed that the guy behind it must be someone not anybody. Later I learned about Phillip Glass and it make sense.Simple but very complicated and great.
"In case I don't see ya! Good afternoon, good evening, and good night!" is gonna be my graduation quote

There's a reason why this is my most favorite film of all time. All my life, I've felt that nothing except me was real, like everyone was being told by someone to act and talk like they're in a show, the fact that my life was written to go absolutely nowhere, written to have what I had be taken from me. With me being on the spectrum, I've been feeling like I was the star of my own show, thinking that everything should go my way. Selfish, I know, but with the way I've been treated, it feels like it was written for me to be entitled to be respected, for things to go my way so I can finally get closer to being free. This ending scene makes me wish that I finally get to recreate it so I can walk through those doors to freedom.
@@omarbaba9892 That's clearly not true, Sylvia didn’t lie to him and she is the very reason that sparked Truman to free himself, heck the very reason he even wanted to leave the place was to go and meet Sylvia.
Companies own the US justice system in the future, if they don't already. Give the masses cheap food and cheap entertainment and the owners live like kings. Same as it ever was.
The fact that he said “Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Goodnight” Christof wanted some grand speech, but Truman got the last laugh by using the line they had heard at the start of every episode.
he wanted Truman to break down, to have an emotional break and return. To admit he was terrified of the outside world.
Instead Truman turns, at the words "you're live on the air to the whole world" and realizes he needs to be a part of that world. So, he greets them. For the first time on purpose he greets the world. The world he is about to join.
Christof knows it too. He understands with horror that the greeting means he made up his mind to leave.
Id say its also a metaphor for his New life, a New beginning
Definitely a Murdoch operation
Well, to be fair, that was his catchphrase. Most writers would agree that it's a good one-liner to go out on
The fact that it’s his one liner is also Truman’s perfect revenge against Christof - it leaves just a bit of doubt whether Christof’s whole experiment was true, or whether Truman was just one of the many actors he hired over the years.
Saddest and most uplifting part of the film. In touching the wall he confirms his suspicions that everything he knew was a lie, yet at the very same time he is now completely free. I freaking love this scene, and this whole movie.
Very well said...amazing movie.
I kinda wish they would've had a few minutes of movie after he escapes to see what he does or where he goes. What he feels like out of there. But I guess that's as good of time of any to end the series.
@@Capybarainahumansuit I think they did that on purpose tho. We want to know but so does the audience in the movie that we despise for supporting this show. Yeah it’s actually fake when we watch it but it’s a cool parallel they draw between us and the audience in the movie.

The world had been captivated by his story, and the revelation of his life being a reality show had shocked and fascinated millions.
Truman's wife, Meryl, who had been part of the elaborate ruse that kept him trapped in Seahaven, stood among the onlookers, tears streaming down her face. She tried to approach Truman, but he held up a hand to stop her. He looked around, searching for someone in particular.
Finally, Truman spotted Christof, the creator and director of "The Truman Show," who had orchestrated his life from behind the scenes. Christof, who had become obsessed with Truman's life and had controlled every aspect of it for decades, stood in the crowd, looking somber and remorseful.
Truman walked towards Christof, his emotions swirling inside him. He confronted Christof, demanding answers for the manipulation and deceit that had been inflicted upon him his entire life. The two engaged in a heated exchange, with Truman expressing his anger and betrayal, and Christof attempting to justify his actions.
But Truman's determination was unwavering. He refused to let Christof control him any longer. With a newfound sense of freedom, Truman turned away from Christof and walked away, leaving behind the cameras and the crowd. He was determined to live his life on his own terms, free from the constraints of the artificial world that had entrapped him for so long.
In the aftermath of Truman's escape, the truth about "The Truman Show" came to light, sparking a global conversation about ethics, privacy, and the boundaries of reality television. Christof faced legal repercussions for his actions, and the show was ultimately shut down.
As for Truman, he embraced his new reality with open arms. He reconnected with his long-lost love, Sylvia, who had been silenced and hidden from him by Christof. They embarked on a journey to discover the world together, experiencing the joys and challenges of life outside of the constructed bubble he had once inhabited.
Truman's story became an inspiration to many, a symbol of resilience and the triumph of the human spirit. He found happiness in the simple moments of life, appreciating the beauty of the real world and the genuine connections he made along the way. Truman's life continued to be an extraordinary adventure, filled with ups and downs, but he navigated it with authenticity and a newfound appreciation for the true reality that surrounded him.
I love the fact the movie ends with him leaving because like the viewers in the movie we don’t either get to see his reaction and his life from that point
In the script, the movie ends after the network head orders the Cease Transmission. The two security guards was a last minute addition.
thats a really good point i didnt see it in that way wow
They should release an X-Rated version that shows his teenage years. Just Jim Carrey bustin' loads left and right amd ruining his parents towels
@@Excremental_Discharge Absolutely terrible attempt at a joke kiddo, lol.
@@Valientlink trying is the first step towards failure🤷♂️
I like to imagine nobody ever heard from Truman again, except for perhaps Sylvia. He went and lived a quiet, peaceful life in a remote place, far from anyone who'd recognise him, far from the life of a celebrity.
Finally got some freedom and privacy.
it could be me, but I would imagine he and Sylvia/Lauren rekindled (and maybe) started a relationship. but I could also see them as platonic.
I would imagine that would have been very tough for him. It's like raising a wild animal, providing for it's every need into adulthood, then releasing it in the wild and expecting it to be self sustaining.
I would imagine Truman would have needed a lot of help in the first few years after leaving the show, building life skills that he did not have to deal with previously.
In the first few years, he would likely need to lean on his celebrity to sustain him while building those life skills.
@@RageDaugyeah. It would be relatively confusing for him.
He would absolutely get tons of money still though, the show would have to pay him for his time, for psychological damages etc… and he would also be able to appear as a guest star for money boahblah.
But like you said, lean on his celebrity status
@@RageDaugimagine him learning how to do taxes at that age too 😅
@@RageDaugI don’t think he would have had to lean on anything. He’d never been paid. It was slave labor without his knowledge.
His lawsuit would make him the richest man on the planet.
"You never had a camera in my head!"
One of my favorite lines in this film. To use a line from another great film, Kingdom of Heaven, "A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power."
That's a great line. I think I've seen that film, but I'm going to make sure or maybe watch it again in case I haven't.
@@Nocturnalverse Such a great film as well. Definitely recommend watching the Director's Cut version. One of the best Director's Cuts ever
Wtf i just watched truman show after watching kingdom of heaven
King Baldwin was the one who said it right?
@@nothingtoseehere6071 yea
I love to get lost in the fantasy of the ending to this movie every now and again and inevitably there are always comments about wanting a sequel or some fantasy about what happens afterwards, but this is the way it should be. The rest of his life should be his own and none of our business. Let him be human for what's left of his life.
If there ever was a movie that shouldn't get a sequel or a prequel, it's this one. Asking for it absurd :D
Completely agree. But a remake could be pretty good. This movies not too old but in the future a remake could help keep this amazing story alive.
I'm happy either way. The film is great on it's own, but I'm open to the idea of a second. How would he live with a cult of personality following him, could he sue Kristoff for everything he owns because Kristoff owned everything of Truman's life. There are a great many ways a sequel could go, but in the end I'm content with what we got and more importantly he got.
@@omnirhythmThere are some movies that end so definitively that to make any sequel or prequel would ruin the story.
plot twist, it was a dome within a dome
I just love the shot at 01:20
He faced his fear over the water, conquered the "storm"(the studio trying to stop him) and is just enjoying the sailing. He looks so free.
One of those small things that can catch you off guard and make you cry. We’ve all had those small moments of appreciation, joy in the midst of a storm. You can see it all on his face, the first book of the Bible: “Yes…. This is good. Life is worth it.”
@@Dgoc813 "The Truth will set you free" For all his life, Truman has been afraid, but now he's no longer afraid and is free to enjoy the wonders around him while moving forward
Same here. He looked Soo free and amazing . Love the movie and in particular this scene.
Free like gold roger
i agree #trumanrocks
Just noticed that there's an incredible visual metaphor at 3:38 - Truman has conquered his fear and can literally walk over water.
Excellent observation that leads to him ascending a stairway to heaven, an exit from him suffering as a captive. ❤
Add that to him basically dying and coming back to life through the storm, his crucified posture at 0:17, the creator willing to sacrifice him for the sake of the audience... Truman does plenty of jesusing throughout this film
I think it's actually a walkway set by the water, possibly incase any of the actors had to "sail off into the distance and disappear"
This movie should have won an oscar
Compared to alot of films that win Oscars today, you're probably square on!
Oscara arent worth shit anymore
Did Jim Carry get a award for this movie though?
Shashanka Tripathy Fucking agree
@@UrSammich No, he didn't even get nominated. It was nominated for best director, best supporting actor (for Truman's best "friend") and best original screenplay (losing to Saving Private Ryan, Affliction and Shakespeare in Love respectively). That said, it did win a 3 Golden Globes including one for Jim Carey's (best actor).
2:24 This is honestly my favorite part of the scene the music rising then cutting to Truman banging on the wall crying. He’s devastated to find out his whole life was a lie,sure he already knew that but getting 100 percent confirmation is just too much for him and he just lays there. However there is a sense of happiness its the thing he wanted most,something real he even bangs on wall just to check it’s real. God Jim Carrey is an amazing actor.
It’s so stupid that a human wouldn’t have figured that out long ago.
I actually teared up at this scene. With the orchestra playing and no other audio, it hit me almost as much as it hit the character: His life is a lie, he's been lied to by everybody. One of the most beautiful movies ever made.
I still wonder what this film would’ve been like if we the viewers hadn’t known this was a show right alongside truman
Confusing and constantly asking questions instead of focusing on the film. I know this because I went in not knowing a thing so half way through I paused and looked online.
@@MattJackson-s4z cool I’ve learned how to not watch a movie.
@@mrmr_zoomie sweet
The majority of the movie would turn into a David Lynch Movie
The original script was more like that. It was much more darker and more "90s" so to speak. And the reveal that it was a tv show would have been a twist later in the film. Look up the original script, its an interesting read!
Defining moment in film history. Captures everything. Orchestra symphony to the personal struggles we all must sometimes make to escape a world of being conditioned.
it has the magic of a silent movie in this defining final moment

You can't simply suppress the human urge to explore.
The US government does exactly that....
@@aonary5382 They try...
@@crystalcavern4125 they succeed, most US citizens don't even hold a passport
@@aonary5382 The US is so large that I can go explore for 2000 miles in any direction and still be in the USA. So yeah, your whole point has just been debunked.
@@minutemansam1214 yeah, Canadians, Russians, Brazilians and Australians all have passports and travel the world, they generally aren't so ignorant to think that just because their country is geographically large they don't need to see anywhere else.
You realise 98% of the world's land area is not the USA right?
Plus North Korea is a small country yet most of their citizens also don't have passports, because their government has suppressed their urge to explore.
So your whole point has just been debunked.....infact, your comment has just proven my point, you have no urge to explore beyond your own borders
That line "You never had a camera in my head", mixed with the stance and the delivery is probably one of my favourite Jim Carrey lines
Nest line I've used. You never had a camera in my head. You can't know exactly what I'm thinking. DO NOT FALL FOR AI.
The human desire for freedom is unconquerable.
But you will never go beyond the ice wall they fool you into thinking is a continent… think about it is there any bit of land on the earth not owned by a single country. There is none. The Antarctic treaty signed by most if not all countries is an agreement to keep what is beyond the ice wall battier a secret and so you are not allowed to go there…people are so dumbed down and pacified with technology and women who think having their face altered is more important while dressing like harlots to attract pea brained males to keep them pacified… we are all living in the Truman show controlled by satan.. you are all just so pacified brainwashed and stupid..
E
Ice wall barrier.
Allow me: I don't believe that is true. The masses, more and more, like a strong leader figure and being told what to do, all over the world. Only a very small number refuse the "order" and seek freedom, which always has a high price.
Actually it isn’t. People in this country are rejecting democracy for Christofascism. People hate freedom. They prefer slave based societies with rigidly enforced socioeconomic hierarchies. They want boots to lick, and dogs to kick.
@@donniecatalano yes usually death.
The directorial restraint at 2:28 to play that with just music, which only adds to the sense of helplessness and tragedy he’s feeling. There were so many ways to shoot that and this choice was such a genius idea.
25 years last week this released. A classic.
25 years went fast
Where's our Sequel Jim Carrey?
No one could have done this role justice like he did. I think what makes this scene so powerful, besides the wonderful score, is Carrey’s ability to use his body to say so many things that you just can’t properly put into words.
You watch him bang on the wall and begin to fall apart and you know exactly what he’s feeling all without seeing his face for SO LONG. The way he goes from angrily banging against the wall to desperately slapping at it with his limp and open hand as the realization washes over him. You’re with him in every way in that moment.
The same thing happens again when the Director is pleading with him. You see the back of his head, the way he reacts to the words being said. Him subtly wiping away his tears before he finally turns around.
One of the greatest performances in film, hands down.
Jim Carrey truly is a versatile actor
Yet some people have the audacity to say they dislike him and the same thing with Adam Sandler. Both truly good people on and off set, truly inspiring individuals
I think it's usually because they play samey roles. My biggest critique of Jim Carrey is that he doesn't try doing more films like this.
Robin Williamsesque
Deserved an Oscar for this performance!
This scene is a very powerful metaphor for that moment in our lives when we realise we have been conditioned a certain way our whole life and we finally break free from that conditioning, and henceforth become our true self...
That’s not a metaphor that’s just what happens in the scene
That's not a moment in anyone's life
Not everyone gets there… The cage is very convincing.
@@octhorror I agree. Easier said than done. The cage is very convincing and comforting and many people never break free from it, which isn't always necessarily a bad thing...
Oh, I broke free from the programming a long time ago and there's not many of us over here, at least that have maintained some level of sanity.
"The episode when you lost your first tooth". Not the moment, the episode.
Right. All I can think of was “the nerve of that guy to say something like that” straight demon smh and the fact he tried to kill Truman smh just evil
@@tetefelix3399I will say that I am not defending him but
He thought of Truman as a character not a person, like generally people don’t feel bad for killing a mob in a video games because it’s “not real”.
I love how society-the viewers-just goes along with the fact that some guy has unknowingly been held captive in a Potemkin village by a cable television corporation his whole life without so much as a single cry of human rights violations.
There seems to be a fairly big cry in the movie's world--the movie pretty strongly implies or outright shows that Sylvia isn't just some lone wolf in the Free Truman movement.
Couldn't be more wrong, they do address it heavily
@@pronkb000The Hague we’re even getting involved apparently
Sounds like america, the secular country of dumbasses
😂
Honestly that was probably the best finale the Truman Show could have had in universe.
I've always thought that. Couldn't end any other way.
one of the most inspirational and thought provoking films of all times
And ahead of its time
To be fair that was the best ending the show could have ever had and the show will be in reruns for decades.
Or the five minutes it takes for a lawyer to find Truman and convince him to sue for enslavement, abuse of his likeness, stalking, unjust imprisonment, and any other charges that would have applied the moment he became a legal adult and they could no longer make decisions on his behalf.
Unjust imprisonment? Aww jeez Rick I don’t know about that one…
Marvelous movie. P.S. My dick gets vibranium hard thinking about the multi-billion dollar lawsuit.
We need Ugo to do a Lawyers Reaction video 😂
_The Truman Lawsuit._
I can think of more illegal crimes in this movie as well, but it’s not my place to list them.
He truly turned out to be a Magellan. As far as he is concerned, he went beyond his world, facing adversity, and to the unknown.
Damn. That’s a great comment. Kudos.
That's also what made his story so tragic. More than other people, he always wanted to have adventures and explore the world, yet they trapped him from the very beginning.
His story is heavily known to my people, but we see him as a villain, a foreshadowing of the fate of my country. How he couldn't persuade his king, had to negotiate with another king, his expedition crew did not have his full loyalty, and when he discovered a new land, he forced the natives to pay tribute to him, then waged war and died. The first Spanish invader, and because of his discovery, led to 333 years of cruelty, slavery and much death
His name was Fernão magalhaes, hes not spanish, magellan is a spanish name. Hes Portuguese but was in service for the crown of spain.
2:03 This, to me, is the saddest part of the whole movie. He realizes from here that he was right about everything being a set up, but then the gravity of the situation crashes on him that he was trapped since birth. And the music just really settles that mood.
2:54 I love how you can't see Truman's face you can't tell if he's laughing, crying, or even both.
Bro, he’s literally crying. Who is the man that laughs when he discovers that is whole life was a lie?!
@@lucabasilico6446 Some do. When faced with traumatic experiences, some people just break down into laughter.
This is absolutely Jim’s Forrest Gump. It’s his Magnum Opus. A guy who went from making cheesy comedy movies to making one of the greatest movies in modern cinema.
Seaside Florida (where this was filmed) is probably the most beautiful city in Florida as some one who was born and raised.
I agree. But dumb and dumber is great lol
Does that mean you think Tom Hanks best movie is Forrest Gump lmfao
This could somehow look like a near death experience.
its ironic cause it really was a near death experience. he nearly drowned for real in that scene
Have a huge portion of your life being a lie feels like a lost and confusing experience
"Say something, god damn it! You're on television. You're live to the whole world." I really liked this movie but not that particular line. Christof shows his true selfishness and narcissism.
Everyone cheered because, while they liked Truman, they did not like the deception.
Ikr. Shows how much he cared abt his money more than Truman. Good thing tho he said that. It convinced Truman enough to leave the set courageously
Christof was selfish, he exploited Truman and was willing to kill him for television ratings. He was an artist, not a good samaritan
I think he was also banking on the human desire to be famous and loved that he wanted to draw out of Truman, “You’re a celebrity” like
It also shows how Truman didn't care about fame or even making a point at all. He just wanted to move on and be free.
I feel like Truman was at least considering Christof's offer to stay until he showed his true colors with that line. That was the final straw.
@@mariajoselleferrer5058 Not to mention that the whole magic and mystique of the show would be gone. The whole point of the Truman Show (the show in the movie, not the movie) was that he wasn't playing it up to a camera or an audience. He was a completely authentic human being that the whole world got to see, warts and all. Now that he knew he was on a show, that's all over. He'd be just another actor and the show would end anyway. Christof really had no control over the situation anymore. He was just clutching at anything to stay on the air for just one more minute, one more hour, one more day.
The one movie i never want a sequel of, it is perfect.
Imagine how many times the studios pressured for a sequel to this gem.
Biggest messup by Christof:
"Say something, goddamit! You are on television.".
It it wasn't for this line, maybe Truman would have taken Christof's offer.
I don't think so. I think Truman was done.
My opinion is it happens a LITTLE earlier than that. "The episode when you lost your first tooth"
That line, at least to me, showcases that despite making a TV show around his life, Christof doesn't realise that, to Truman, those were moments of his life. Not "an episode."
Imagine the amount of money he'd get when he leaved the set. He'd never have to worry about money anymore, and could dedicate himself to build a real life.
3:01.
It shows all this time he's had doubts that maybe he's insane and it shows both happiness and sadness. Happy because he was right, sad because everything and everyone he knew (other than Sylvia) was a lie. Jim fucking acted this so well.
Such a good representation of the indomitable human will against the harsh indifference of the universe. More importantly, it showed that you can't prevent Truman from following what he loves: Adventure and Sylvia.
One of the best psychological horror movies made
Well said.. it comes off as a light hearted movie... but the more and more I dwell on this film the more deeply disturbed and horrified I become. It absolutely is a horroe movie. Everything was fake.... his family friends, every conversation he ever had.... everytime he went to the toilet etc etc... the entire world was watching. He would be a complete wreck after he leaves with permanent emotional damage.. this film is a masterpiece.... because it stays with you long after viewing has finished
Imagine truman after all this looking into the faces of all the people he trusted and thought were his friends, especially his "parents." That would be something I'd love to watch
One of my favourite parts of this film is that we only ever see Truman on screen when he is in view of a camera that’s broadcasting
5:48-6:12 if you were trying to sound comforting, you overshot it and went all the way to full out creepy af!
Exactly.
He's trying to manipulate Truman, shame and guilt him into staying, make him afraid, but disguising it as parental care.
6:39
I like to imagine Truman going out the exit and going into the real world, already bustling with fans and reporters and journalists crowding the exit. When Truman sees them, he nervously says hi in one of his many cute phrases. The fans begin freaking out and trying to talk to him, reporters are shoving microphones and cameras in his face and journalists are constantly trying to ask him questions. He tried to calm everyone down but they continue and he becomes over stimulated and anxious and begins freaking out. They close in on him and he realizes his only way out would be back through the door. But he can’t do that obviously, or he’s be trapped in the cage again. But to his rescue comes Silvia who yanks him by the wrist and for a second, Truman is freaked out thinking it’s an obsessed fan but face softens when he realizes it’s Silvia. She gives him that smile and pulls him along while the mass of reporters and fans chase them. She pulls him into the passenger seat of her car and tries todrive off but people crowd the car and bang on the windows, demanding for Truman. Truman starts freaking out and tries to tell them to leave, but they don’t listen and try to opens the door. Some of the fans are completely dressed from head to toe in Truman merch and a few even have “Marry me Truman!” With the fan’s head on a bride and his on a grooms, on a customizable shirt. Truman doesn’t know what they’ll do when they get in, but he doesn’t want to know. Silvia honks her horn loudly and tries toget them to move, and that startles some at the front enough for her to pull forward and get out of there. When they reach Silvia’s house Truman sees all the free Truman stuff hanging around. A tear comes to his eye and gives a silly remark about it all. Soon, (perhaps after few days) Silvia tells Truman that they should sue Christof and his company. Truman would love to do that, but since he doesn’t have a cent to his name (given as all his money was props) he had no money to pay for an attorney. Silvia says she can pay for it with her savings but Truman refuses to have her pay with that. Silvia tells him that if the lawsuit was successful they’d get 100s of Millions of dollars that the show made over the last 30 years. But Truman tells her if it isn’t, they’ll be broke or even heavily in dept. But Silvia is confident and wants justice for Truman more than he does. He smiles at this, knowing she truly cares about him. Unlike Meryl. Or anyone on the show to be frank. Truman continues to get harassed by fans in the streets and is sometimes looked at in weird ways. He tried to stay inside but his urge for exploration prevented him from doing so. (He continues to get recognized and harassed by fans until his early 70’s) A week later Truman starts therapy for what happened to him, and he notices in the waiting room a sign was plastered that said the Truman show was always playing there. Before it ended anyway. So as soon as he sat down and brought up a newspaper, he noticed everyone staring at him and made him feel extremely uncomfortable and he shuffled down farther in his seat. When goes to sign in with the front desk lady, her jaw is dropped the whole time and she asks for his autograph. He reluctantly agrees, not wanting any of this attention. His therapist was not a huge fan of the show, but of course, like everyone, knew of its existence. So even he’s surprised when he walked in. Truman’s therapist helps him get over his trauma of everything on the show and his fear of still being filmed or he may still be on tv. After years of therapy, Truman isn’t completely healed. That kind of stuff sticks with you. But he’s much better than what he once was. What about the lawsuit? Well Silvia filed it anyway, and against Truman pleading her not to, she withdrew all her money from all her accounts and got them a really good attorney. After a trial that went on for 3 months, Silvia and Truman were able to squeeze 780.1 MILLION dollars out of the company, and they were both incredibly happy. During the entire thing Christof stared at Truman longingly, as this was his first time seeing him in person. Sometimes he’d catch Christof miming stroking Truman’s hair, like he did with a screen. It creeped him out and made him dislike Christof more than he already did. Silvia and Truman decided with the amount of money they had, they could go to the Fiji islands and do what Truman had always wanted to do. Explore. Every few months Truman and Silvia would leave their home island, Viti Levu (One of the Fiji Islands) and explore one not seen by many. They’d even get to go explore new islands no human had ever stepped foot on. Truman would also go back to American from time to time to do interviews, to make sure they kept a good amount of income. Christof past away from alcohol poisoning, as soon after the show ended he became depressed and drank plenty when Truman was around 54-55. They continued exploring until their late sixties when they decided to retire and live the rest of their lives relaxing on the beautiful islands of Fiji, exploring new places around the world every few months, but for mere vacations and not real “adventuring”. But they got to see just as many new things. There’s my happy ending to Truman’s story :)
I liked that. The movie made Trumans ending ambiguous (as it should) since he's not being filmed anymore and whatever he does with his life is his business and the fans already know too much about him. Your story was interesting to listen to because it delved into the reality of the situation (Truman can never live a normal life of solitude). Another story I heard about is that Christoff chooses another baby and reboots the show and by the time Truman learns about it, it would already be too late, and the new Truman would be in his 70s-80s in a hospital bed surrounded by his fake family, fake friends, etc. Truman decides to let it go to spare the guy the existential crisis and let him die ignorant and happy.
@@SebastienGendron-uk4po that is interesting, but I wonder what would’ve made him take so long to hear about it. Wouldn’t the original Truman be one of the first people to learn about it? Perhaps over tv or overhearing people talking about it, or people coming up to him and be like, “Hey Truman! You’ve seen this?” But if that did happen that’d be really sad. But also, if the new Truman was 70-80 and in his death bed, wouldn’t the og Truman already be dead lol?
@@DaVickster1078 Yeah, I definitely overlooked those points but nonetheless, Truman's fate at the end of the movie is left up to the imagination and needs no real sequel. This begs the question; can Truman even sue them if he was legally adopted by the same corporation? Is he considered an American if you take into account how many documents, they had to forge to fool him into this made-up world? Is Truman considered property?
@@SebastienGendron-uk4po Yeah it’s great for discussion and imagining Truman’s fate yourself. I hope he was able to sue the hell out of them for everything they did. Perhaps since he didn’t even have a contract with the company, would it make it harder to sue? *Is* he considered property? If so, would they have the legal obligation to do whatever they want with him? Christof said if he really wanted to discover the truth, they wouldn’t be able to stop him, yet they *tried* at every turn. Would it be the same about just letting him go? I mean, he’s the most famous person in the world. Does he even have unalienable rights like other Americans? So many questions, that I’m glad are left unanswered. Perfect ending to a perfect movie, with lots of speculations and questions about Truman’s future left for discussion ^^
Where's our Sequel Jim Carrey?
Masterpiece of a movie
The real tragedy of this movie’s ending is despite the fact that Truman’s finally free from the show’s grasp, his life will never be normal considering he’s the most famous man on Earth.
I have always loved this movie, it's up there on my top 10, but rewatching this scene today, all I can think is, "Who tucks in a sweater that thick???"
Well, it was night time after all
How about "Who the hell was dumb enough to install a door that said 'exit' in big bold letters just in the middle of nowhere? What if Truman found the door and saw the word 'exit' on it, leading him to knowing that it's the exit of the fake world?"
@@xanderscookingschool1497 crashing a boat into the sky isn’t enough?
@strangelf with how isolated he is from the real world, he might of thought it's normal. The door is just multiple times worse though.
@@xanderscookingschool1497 what about the world maps he’s been given? The travel agency? All of those would have had to have been fake.
That scene where a yacht crashes into a studio wall is one of the creepiest scenes ever. At least for me.
The glimpse of his face crying his heart out as he bashes the wall always gets me 😢
I felt his emotions when he touch the wall. Your suspicions were true all along. Pain but free
This is one of the best films ever made
Him banging on that wall, trying to get out in desperation before discovering the ledge just hurts my heart every time. Tragic.
I don’t think it was banging to get out, more been incredibly angry and devastated that his entire world was confirmed without a doubt to be fake
This movie is a piece of art.
I don't care how many times I've seen this film, I white-knuckle this scene every time.

If this score didnt get at least a nomination theres something wrong with this world. Combining that with the legend Jim Carreys and everyone elses skills makes this the most emotional and satisfying ending ever to the greatest movie ever.😭
I love the duality of the 2 soundtracks in this ending. A more sad, but peaceful track when he is sailing. Representing him thinking he is finally at peace but sad because we as the audience all know that the peace he feels is short lived and fake. But then when he finds out and goes to the exit the soundtrack is more grandiose and satisfying. Representing that he can finally have TRUE peace without anyone watching his every move, but also a satisfying ending for both us as the real life audience and the fictional audience watching truman say his goodbye and leave the dome. Sorry if yall were expecting an in depth analysis of this scene but this is the best I've got. Let's just all agree, this is one of the best movies ever made.
That last piece is actually reused from an earlier film - Mishima:A Life In Four Chapters, by Paul Schrader. Ironically it's used in that film for the moment when Mishima kills himself.
I will never forget, what I felt at 1:40, when I saw this in cinema.
OMFG! Jim Carrey. 2:20 that utter sense of despair that just sinks into his face. He acted this scene absolutely PERFECT. Then later 3:00 the anguish that hits him. That he was right the whole time. Yet he still unable to be in control of his life.
Who woulda thought a man of comedy, coulda presented such a devastatingly emotional and dramatic scene.
Jim Carrey is an absolute legend.
THE BEST ENDING OF A MOVIE EVER!!!!
When he touches the wall you can sense that he’s relieved that he’s not insane.
This is such a brilliant scene. I have so much respect and admiration for Jim Carrey.
‘For the world is hollow and I have touched the sky’
This not getting an Oscar is tragedy.
One of Jim carrey's finest
The music is so damn perfect.
I also love the shot at 1:05, with all the production staff just watching the screen. The staff who controlled Truman's life all that time are as helpless as the viewers in that moment.
The very ending of this is pure ecstasy. How well constructed this film is!
One of the best movie endings of all time. JC was outstanding
It always pissed me off how the director was trying to be so gentle and caring and he actually believes he is. Being so soft spoken and profound and yet the one person he thinks he cares for the most has been trapped in a cage of confusion and mockery his entire existence. We’ll acted but so aggravating
everything gon be ireeee
Christoff wanted to kill his child. He who would not obey. Cue The Moon. It's part of living in the Matrix!

New zealand is free
As Truman walked out the door, he found himself stepping into the real world, outside of the carefully constructed set that had been his entire life. The shock of the sudden change overwhelmed him as he blinked in the brightness of the sun and felt the fresh breeze on his face.
Truman was initially disoriented, but as he looked around, he realized he was surrounded by a crowd of people. News cameras were rolling, capturing every moment of his emergence into the real world. The world had been captivated by his story, and the revelation of his life being a reality show had shocked and fascinated millions.
Truman's wife, Meryl, who had been part of the elaborate ruse that kept him trapped in Seahaven, stood among the onlookers, tears streaming down her face. She tried to approach Truman, but he held up a hand to stop her. He looked around, searching for someone in particular.
Finally, Truman spotted Christof, the creator and director of "The Truman Show," who had orchestrated his life from behind the scenes. Christof, who had become obsessed with Truman's life and had controlled every aspect of it for decades, stood in the crowd, looking somber and remorseful.
Truman walked towards Christof, his emotions swirling inside him. He confronted Christof, demanding answers for the manipulation and deceit that had been inflicted upon him his entire life. The two engaged in a heated exchange, with Truman expressing his anger and betrayal, and Christof attempting to justify his actions.
But Truman's determination was unwavering. He refused to let Christof control him any longer. With a newfound sense of freedom, Truman turned away from Christof and walked away, leaving behind the cameras and the crowd. He was determined to live his life on his own terms, free from the constraints of the artificial world that had entrapped him for so long.
In the aftermath of Truman's escape, the truth about "The Truman Show" came to light, sparking a global conversation about ethics, privacy, and the boundaries of reality television. Christof faced legal repercussions for his actions, and the show was ultimately shut down.
As for Truman, he embraced his new reality with open arms. He reconnected with his long-lost love, Sylvia, who had been silenced and hidden from him by Christof. They embarked on a journey to discover the world together, experiencing the joys and challenges of life outside of the constructed bubble he had once inhabited.
Truman's story became an inspiration to many, a symbol of resilience and the triumph of the human spirit. He found happiness in the simple moments of life, appreciating the beauty of the real world and the genuine connections he made along the way. Truman's life continued to be an extraordinary adventure, filled with ups and downs, but he navigated it with authenticity and a newfound appreciation for the true reality that surrounded him.

And nothing but mass shootings, religion and obesity.
ese momento tan satisfactorio y triste; triste porque descubres q tu vida ha sido una mentira, satisfecho de descubrir la verdad y llegar al final del camino
That shot where he walks on the edge of paradise amongst the clouds is so poetic
I love this film, watched it again this afternoon, and the music from Philip Glass so adds so much.
2:09
That is the face of validation right there. That is the face of “Oh my God, I’m not crazy after all.”
When I watched it in 1998 I was haunted by the music.Of course I noticed that the guy behind it must be someone not anybody.
Later I learned about Phillip Glass and it make sense.Simple but very complicated and great.
Love Phillip Glass and didnt know this was him! Thanks for pointing this out
A truly stunning movie. The whole cast was terrific, especially Ed Harris and Jim Carrey. So good.
"In case I don't see ya! Good afternoon, good evening, and good night!" is gonna be my graduation quote
There's a reason why this is my most favorite film of all time. All my life, I've felt that nothing except me was real, like everyone was being told by someone to act and talk like they're in a show, the fact that my life was written to go absolutely nowhere, written to have what I had be taken from me. With me being on the spectrum, I've been feeling like I was the star of my own show, thinking that everything should go my way. Selfish, I know, but with the way I've been treated, it feels like it was written for me to be entitled to be respected, for things to go my way so I can finally get closer to being free. This ending scene makes me wish that I finally get to recreate it so I can walk through those doors to freedom.
At 2:03, you could see a crack on the wall as he's about to touch it. Almost symbolizing a crack in his reality 😢
I love how when Truman walks through the door we cant see his perspective because the cameras aren't out there.
And Truman and Sylvia lived happily ever after. ^_^
And went to Fiji together
Definitely not, Truman is never going to be able to trust a single person ever again, even with the most basic of things. Saddest movie ending ever
@@omarbaba9892 That's clearly not true, Sylvia didn’t lie to him and she is the very reason that sparked Truman to free himself, heck the very reason he even wanted to leave the place was to go and meet Sylvia.
@@abhrobiswas4956 wow one person? Yeah it was only the hundreds of other people in his life who lied to him
@@omarbaba9892 Still the point stands, lol. He doubted everyone else for THAT ONE PERSON, and THAT ONE PERSON didn't lie to him.
just one of the very best films ever made
Wait till he finds out he’s actually in a movie and Truman isn’t even his real name.
Truman is his real name. He was born into the show.
@@Rude_BoiSounds like you missed the joke.
The show's director calls his assistants the next day: "Have you found a child for the new season of our series yet?"🎉 show must go on
The amount of money he could win in a lawsuit would bankrupt the company that did this and companies that sponsored it.
Companies own the US justice system in the future, if they don't already. Give the masses cheap food and cheap entertainment and the owners live like kings. Same as it ever was.
"The Creator....of a television show"
Great pause in the dialogue.
Dammit l really love to see both truman / Sylvia reunited....they really should the scene.....
You no longer get to see him. He doesn't belong to you. That's the whole point of the movie.
Amazing movie
The sad music after surviving and then into the reveal of the ships shadow breaking the stage wall, is perfectly done.
He left the studio...and was promptly struck by a Greyhound Bus.
This isn't "City of Angels."
Maybe one of the greatest movies of all time, certainly my favorite.
What a film. And that music that comes in when he walks out of the door. Gets me every time 😢❤
Carrey was robbed not even getting nominated for an Oscar for this masterpiece
"Spolier allert" Best part of the movie.
