There also is the thing that maybe he really only started to feel this way for him when Truman started to want to see the rest of the world. As long as Truman was content with his life, Marlon didn't question his role, after all he too was raised in that environment so it was his normality. Maybe what we see in the movie is the beginning of Marlon's conscience, so if Truman changed his mind and didn't try to escape maybe there'd come a point when Marlon would snap and tell him the truth.

Surprised at how many people thought Marlon was being callous here.

He resents the whole thing, and of all the people involved he's the one I can forgive because he was raised in the show himself - akin to being brought up in a cult.

There’s no way that all of these people who knew Truman from when he was a child, and his wife would be that sociopathic to not care about him at all. Apparently there are deleted scenes showing that Marlon genuinely cared about him and was wrapped with guilt and I wish they’d kept them in along with this scene. I wouldn’t have minded if this movie was closer to two hours. Marlon had wasted character potential.

From a storytelling and characterisation standpoint I think this was criminal to cut. It doesn't just give us some worldbuilding behind the scenes on the world Truman inhabits, more critically it underlines the cruel emotional detachment of the entire cast towards Truman. For all the film's many accomplishments I don't think the final cut really succeeds at this, Meryl is the only character who is really shown to be dispassionate about Truman's wellbeing. You'd be forgiven for coming away thinking Marlon and most of the rest of the cast did in some way 'feel' their relationships to Truman. Maybe Marlon did, but there's an element of professional detachment - he ultimately does choose the show over the friendship. The invisible hand of Christof really makes itself known here; the net around Truman's life is encapsulated in this script reading sequence.

Ah, you touch on why they couldn't keep it -- it took the focus away from Truman, it didn't enhance his story in a compelling way. It didn't reveal more about Truman. It's a cool scene, it's interesting, I love the acting but in terms of moving Truman's story forward ... eh, nope.

2:00 I love how the writing and delivery of that line. I think it shows Marlon does care about Truman and doesn't agree with where the show is going

I'm on the fence as to which way to take Marlon's comments. At first I thought this scene did a great job at showcasing Marlon's total disregard for Truman's well-being. The film itself really seemed to make Marlon out to be a self-absorbed and disingenuous actor who is entirely apathetic to Truman's plight. However there was always enough grey area in the delivery that left room for Marlon to possibly perhaps genuinely care about Truman, just not as much as he cared about being a famous actor with a nice salary. Anyway, this scene initially struck me as Marlon casually questioning the show's protocol in the event of Truman's death as if he was inquiring about lunch. Total disregard for Truman. Yet when I watch again, I see in Marlon's face that he's not sharing in the excitement and glee the other actors are feeling. That suggests to me that he could simply be asking this question to spite his co-workers. Still, though... Marlon gave me awful vibes the entire movie. He was crucial in keeping Truman contained and seemed to take no issue in gaslighting Truman and acting as Christof's main tool in keeping Truman imprisoned in the false reality he was held captive in.

This scene should have been kept, because it would give clarification to Trumans "wife" to what happened to her after her breakdown. We need more movies like The Truman Show.

I really wish they kept this scene in. I think Marlon is a monster like the rest of them but he cares on his own way, I think he was okay playing his role since he's just getting paid to drink and be someone's buddy and wasn't really "hurting" Truman after all. I mean Marlon was a child actor raised in this manufactured environment too he just knew the nature of his reality, it must all seem relatively normal to him. Then after Truman has his breakdown and the bridge scene happens where he's told to directly manipulate and lie to him with a ridiculous plot of bringing his father back from the dead to use against him I think he started to question if the whole setup was right or not, it went way beyond "maintainong an illusion" to forcing him to accept it for the benefit of others. So his dismissive face and scoffing at the actor meeting discussing plot points and his comment about Truman's death I took as genuine concern and finally bringing up the callous absurdly of it all since he's had to really think about it for the first time in his life.

Marlon was more showing his disgust at Christlof for the blatant disregard of Truman.

I wouldn't believe anyone could stay in character than long for any amount of money. When would they even get time to spend their money and have their own free time?

The comment from Truman's "best friend" is so chilling. You realize in that moment they are actually planning to kill Truman, when his life is deemed no longer worth watching, replacing him with the child. Good job by the editor cutting this one, it ups the sinister undertones beyond what they should've been.

That's not what the line was saying. The "best friend" was basically fed up with how cavalier they're being over the lives of Truman, themselves, and everyone involved. But he can't really do anything about it, so the most he could do was say the quiet part out loud in a cast meeting to needle the director. The real chilling thing is the lack of response.

To be honest, I'm a bit undecided on whether cutting this from the movie was a good or a bad choice. On one hand it gives a huge amount of lore about what's happening behind the scenes. On the other hand, the movie kind of doesn't need this, so perhaps it's good that it was cut.

For sure after Truman gets out... he will sue Kristof & the network for intentional inflicting trauma, invasion of privacy, fear, attempted murder, moral damages & he will be billionaire. ... he will get rich, for royalties of the product placements & his intellectual property right to publish his story. Not only that, he is already a celebrity, he can guest to various tv shows & endorsements etc!

I wonder if the show-runners were intending to kill Truman off in an artificial way for dramatic effect (like an accident or murder). I have a hard time believing that they would continue with the cameras up until he dies of old age. It's a twisted idea and Marlon's blank expression just elevates it even further ... like if he kind of knew about it.

The sick true life we live

One thing I've often found myself asking is, when the people in Truman's "life" say "You're my best friend" or "I love you" do they really mean it? It's probably why Truman was so obsessed with Silvia cause she was the only real person in his life. Some one who was fully honest and had genuine feelings for him. That and his dad. His adopted father actually broke into the set to see his son again. Though his motivations could be debatable given that in the end he chose to help in deceiving Truman.

Why was she in a neck brace? Truman didn't hurt her AT ALL. He was just acting erratic and then she took out the knife. He then defended himself from her attack. He didn't do anything to her neck.

My guess is that they cut it and Peter Weir leave the scene when the interviewer ask the producer Ed Harris about the reason why Truman’s Father was lost: Amnesia. And he also mentioned about the broke up and a Divorce. That would do if you cut a scene so dark. And tell the same thing.

I'd like to believe that Walter didn't come back to the show just for the money, he wanted to see his son again.

Should have kept this one in the movie. How completely F'd up The Truman Show actually was didn't set in for me until around the third time I watched it. This scene personifies that, love this film.

That is how deleted scenes work. They start out in the script, then they're filmed, and then the director or whoever decides to remove it from the final edit.

Perpetual guardianship

This scene is very good but I'll admit the exclusion was better off since it makes the tone very dark. While we know they were trying to egg Truman into having a child, the concept of the child also being subjected to their father's predicament and ultimately become another avenue for profit plainly described before us is really intense.

Nice little freeze-frame at 0:58

Argh, this movie is so weird when you think about it. All they need to do is build a tiny wall around Truman randomly and it'll be The Sims.

My life pretty much

The point that Marlon is getting at in the end is pretty dark when you think about it. He wants trumans offspring (however many children/grandchilden he has) to be on TV since he says avoids the question that marlon asks him about going back to a one channel format.

I always wondered what would happen if Christolf died. Eventually they would have shown Truman the door and send him out with $5 (not a typo) and said good lick.

I assumed Christof would have a successor. In this world there are probably numerous directors who would jump at the chance to direct at least a few seasons of the Truman show.

I like to think after the movie, Marlon and Truman stayed friends I know Marlon was in on it but you can tell he feels guilty about it

at :06 , the prompter almost looks like their depicted as the Davinci's Last Supper Picture

When Truman showed interest in Sylvia, why did they not just go in that direction? There was mutual interest and Truman would've gone along with it willingly, unlike the forced situation with Meryl.

@TrashGoblin824

Because Sylvia could have, and probably would have, told Truman the truth

They should re-release the movie with all the deleted scenes, i would go to the movies watch it.

One thing I noticed about how Harris portrays Christof is that he exhibits similar traits to a director he famously punched out. Not sure if it was intentional on Weir's part or Harris' part, but everything Christof does from his tendency to wear black, to his obsession with water and water related disasters and finally his control freak mannerisms, steer solely in the direction of 80s James Cameron. Hell, both directors nearly drowned their "star."

This would make the movie even more darker

Christof: Television's first on-air conception will still take place. Random guy: "Yes!!!!" Claps hands.

When Marlon says "When Truman dies...", he's saying when truman dies of old age, right??

“So when Truman dies we go back to a single channel format?” Damn dude, you plotting to murder the guy on National television?

The fact Cristoff doesn't say they are going to end coverage of Truman when he dies implies there'll be a live feed of his grave or maybe even his coffin

I watched the movie the other day and was just wondering what kind of plans they had for Truman's kid...

I don't understand why the director had cutted this fantastic scenes. They made the movie perfect.

Couldn’t he just plead insanity since he’s been treated like a commodity/slaves since birth and finding that out would probably lead to something insane happening?

This Movie is Interesting but also Scary

I read that there is a deleted scene of Marlon finding Truman as he was making his escape, that they make eye contact, and Marlon says something along the lines of "he's not here" to Christof and the producers. But I haven't been able to find it on KZread or anywhere. If you have a link, please share!

wow!!

Good movie 😊

I like this scene. If only because it shows a little bit of sympathy Marlon felt for Truman. Of course it changes nothing.

You gotta feel for Marlon. Imaging “pretending” to be something he’s not since he was 7 years old (unless they chose another actor) after that pneumonia reference.

1:51 This "joke" is very heartless. And the fact that the actors laugh at it.

When 'we the people' find out they are Truman, it will be the end of the world as we know it.

They cut out a lot from the script and the movie with Marlon's actor actually becoming sympathetic with Truman. This scene is more proof of that with him joking about what are we going to do next to him pretty much. The movie still works without those moments but it would have worked fine too if they kept it. Kinda sorry they didn't. I like seeing some of the actors actually feeling guilty about what they do and not just being robots as they are portrayed as in the final version of the movie with these parts cut.
