Let’s get real here, if the Truman Show was real. That ending would have been the greatest ending to a TV show ever.

You know why we don’t see what happens after he leaves the island? Because he’s not on tv anymore. We are the audience, and he is supposed to be free, so we don’t see it.

What's with all the redacted audio?

I just realized they named him Truman cuz he was the only "true man" while everyone else was playing a part, very clever

“Truman could leave at any point if he really wanted to” meanwhile they’re blocking him at every turn, gaslighting him his whole life, and doing everything in their power to stop that from happening, going to drastic and dangerous measures to stop him from leaving. Cristoff is truly an insidious manipulator

When I watched it, as Truman was escaping I was almost shouting "FOLLOW HIM WITH THE CAMERA! I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!" And suddenly I was the villain of the movie.

the way director peter weir said he wanted to have cameras installed in every theater the film was shown in, having the projectionist at one point cut the power, cut to the viewers, and then cut back to the movie... I can't even imagine

Truman has for sure the best lawsuit case of all time. He's been an unpaid actor his entire life. Thats almost 250,000 unpaid work hours. Not to mention the clear emotional trauma and abuse suffered on site for his entire life.

They made this video jokingly as a part of my own truman show

i think the most important part of the ending isn't when everyone watching cheers for Truman, it's when they're done cheering and change the channel. That's the real tragedy-- once the movie is over we can change the channel, watch something else, and wonder vaguely about Where He is Now, but Truman is stuck with the consequences of this forever. He can't stop living his life, and his life was destroyed for the fleeting entertainment of strangers who move on the second he stops entertaining them. Even the Free Truman movement seems to be incredibly small-- if it's bigger than just Lauren at all.

They sent Truman to cross the bay to REMIND HIM that he had a terrible fear of water. To REINFORCE that fear.

I think it's also worth mentioning that after the Truman Show finishes and everyone cheers, they simply switch to something else. After all it was just a show to them, and they don't actually care.

The Matrix is having everyone in a false reality, which just makes it normal reality. But the Truman Show is all for one guy, and that's terrifying.

Just realised that the reason Truman has vitamin D deficiency is because he has never been exposed to real sunlight

I saw a theory that 'The Truman Show' within the context of the movie, is running out of money. That would explain the light falling, blatant product placement and advertising - that Truman clearly isn't entirely used to - set break in from his Father i.e. cutting back on security, and the only two people on shift to watch him when he escapes at the end. (Great video!)

I don’t understand why Jim Carrey didn’t win an Oscar for this movie. He is able make us feel how Truman is feeling especially at the end when he’s standing in front of the door to leave. As the creator is talking to him all we see is Truman’s back to the camera, but in that moment we can feel every emotion Truman is experiencing even if we can’t see his face. we know everything Truman has been through up until that point and Truman’s silence speaks volumes, we understand what he is going through and has went through he doesn’t need to say anything. Jim Portrayed this dude so well that we didn’t even need to see Truman’s face to know what he was feeling we just knew. I can’t express enough how I just love the end of this movie, and is an Excellently acted movie through out.

Anyone else feel like Truman catches his “friend” when he says “I would never lie to you”, you can see it in his eyes and I genuinely think that’s the moment he breaks free and knows for sure he lives in a manufactured world

I always thought that the reason they give Truman the job to deliver something across the bay is because it makes it seem like he is staying in his city by his own volition. If he was never offered a chance to leave the city it would make it easier to doubt the validity of the world around him, but by making it seem like it is his choice he doesn't doubt it in the least until forced to.

When I first watched this in my psychology my teacher didnt show us the beginning. We found out as Truman did

I always took Truman's last line as him realizing he had a catchphrase and just saying it to appease the audience before starting his real life.
