So...25 years later...how do you think The Truman Show has aged???...Lucky guess or brilliant foresight?
-
Love the social commentary bit at the very end...the entire world is captivated by Truman's tense escape...but after a few seconds of dead air when the broadcast ends they all flip the channel for something new!
-
Easy to forget that this was Carrey's first attempt at a mostly serious role. And not that he wasn't well compensated; but he accepted a paycheck that was only 60% of his going rate because he wanted the role so much.
-
The casting of Jim Carrey for this role was just chefs kiss perfect
-
This reminds me of a quotes from The Incredibles 2: "You don't talk, you watch talk shows. You don't play games, you watch game shows. Travel, relationships, risk; every meaningful experience must be packaged and delivered to you to watch at a distance so that you can remain ever-sheltered, ever-passive, ever-ravenous consumers who can't free themselves to rise from their couches, break a sweat, never anticipate new life."

still one of my favorites movies and an amazing one to bring us into the next century; the way the tension builds and builds before the movie turns on its head and cuts to the perspective of a 60 minutes type interview of the production was such a unique writing style i think it holds up as one of the great american films of the modern era and delivers great scenes, acting and music tucked in with its bizarre but pretty great cinematography
-
Jim Carrey is a once in a lifetime ball of energy. Even his semi-dramatic acting is so sharp, always on point. Such commitment to the roles.
-
I think that rather than predicting the future the movie influenced it. I remember after it’s release at being shocked at people talking about creating something like the Truman show, thinking at people so dumb as not to pick up on the warnings it was issuing. Lo and behold, reality TV showed up a few years later. It wasn’t a coincidence.
-
Truman show is such a good movie 🍿
-
The Truman Show is such a great movie, Jim Carey's performance deserved an Oscar
-
When I saw it in theaters in 1998 I thought intrusive reality tv was pretty far fetched. Clearly I was wrong.
-
"Cue the Sun" , such a brilliant yet terrifying moment
-
This is one of those rare movies that I actually re watch once every year or two because it’s just so damn well done. Brilliant when it came out, and still brilliant today.
-
I love all the small details in this movie. It hasn't aged a day. I like when you can see Phillip Glass (the composer of the score) sitting at the piano playing in the control room. He's just kinda in the background.
-
The look of content determination on Carrey's face after the boat storm, it makes me well up every time. Nothing can stop me now. Natascha McElhone was great casting too, memorable expressive eyes.
-
I still cry every time I see this film
-
My favorite part is the last line of the movie: “What else is on?” Perfectly represents trends and how they can be dropped in a second.
-
The Truman Show literally established its very own unique subgenre of horror.
-
1998: The Truman Show was a dystopian science fiction story 2024: Nothing dystopian about it.
-
One Jack to another, just to say, the work you're doing is some of the best on this platform. Very exciting to see the genre in such good hands!
