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.

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?

Truman = True Man - Truman could probably sue the company for child abuse & mental trauma & live off that money with Sylvia anywhere they wanted.

"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.

​@dr.burtgummerfan439 actually it was in the script. Lol

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.

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know to fix the year in the description because it is from 1998 not 1988.

I think it's a very clever part of the movie that we don't get to see what happens to Truman. It exposes us to be just like the audience watching him, we want to know what happens.

Also, when we, as the audience, get to make the story complete, after watching him in the "show". Then our minds can run wild, a little goose egg for us.

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.

I think Christof is by far the most evil movie villain of that decade, especially because he is never really considered as a movie villain!

I rarely see anyone mention that his wife is named for Meryl Streep and his bff is named for Marlon Brando. Marlon and Meryl being great actors, after all.

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?

Yes.

In the United States crossing your fingers can mean basically two things: Hoping for luck for yourself or others, but also that you don't mean what you say or do. You can say something, but if you're crossing your fingers you don't really mean it.

There are definitely so many themes and metaphors in this movie to.. how so many people behave in real life, not just gaslighting those who don’t know better but shielding and misleading them “for their own good”, ideal middle-class lifestyles that are so perfect yet the subject doesn’t ultimately want, “reality” tv and how people treat it as voyeurism of said “perfect” life the person who has it doesn’t want, people selling out (the actress playing Truman’s wife who doesn’t really like him yet is willing to have a baby with him for the fame and pay).

Crossing your fingers also means not intending to keep your promise, or to lie with a clear conscience.

The travel agency woman comes out with a white bib on and it’s because she had to quickly get her make up done, no one probably goes in there usually. I read that even Truman’s car and his friends truck are ads because those models had not come out yet when the movie was made.

Should have been Jim's last film 20 or 30 years after. If you know his mental state after his soul mate passed a few years ago. It is him.

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).

Crossing the fingers: yes, you don't mean it.

Once the truman show ends, he gets his privacy, us the audience don't get to see what he does next.

As an acton hero (Star Wars, Indiana Jones) Harrison Ford wanted to broaden his acting skills so he got Australian director Peter Weir to guide him through the dram "Witness" 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... So all three got Aussie director Peter Weir to change their careers around

My late mom used to watch The Shining at least once every year. She said this movie was the most horrific she'd seen.

Crossing fingers is a belief is that it invalidates a promise being made.

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!

I know Jim Carry is legend, a lot of amazing movies, but in my opinion this is my favorite one. And you two reacting to it just made my evening so much better!

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
