	The Truman Show (1998)
		A lot more pseudo-documentary footage on the making of the fictional Truman Show was shot but not used in the theatrical version.
		Incorrectly regarded as goofs: An 8-ball that appears to be on Truman's desk (and then disappears) is in fact in a basket on a cart.
		Although it sometimes seems that Hollywood is catering to the lowest common denominator of everything, The Truman Show is proof that there are great ideas that are able to be turned into great movies.

	"The Truman Show", shooting draft, by Andrew M Niccol
		TRUMAN "With a mutiny but half-repressed and starvation imminent, he pressed southward till he found the long-hoped-for straits..." Truman is interrupted by a TRANSIENT in a wheelchair.
		TRUMAN paces impatiently in the living room of his Mother's cramped, fussy, doilyed little house full of Burbank family memorabilia - a cluster of framed photographs is dominated by one of his FATHER trimmed with a fl ribbon.
		Truman's view is abruptly blocked as a rear panel is hastily attached to the elevator.

	DVD Review - The Truman Show (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) is a young man in the quaint community of Seahaven, a little island, leading a regular life as an insurance salesman with his wife Meryl (Laura Linney).
		Unknowingly, Truman is at the center of a huge TV show that started with his birth.
		His life is "The Truman Show", but he has to realize that no matter how well you produce a show, it ultimately remains a set-up and is as such prone to unforeseeable events which eventually cause failure.

	THE TRUMAN SHOW (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although it's staged, we see a flashback to when Truman tried to help his father, but then had to watch him drown off their boat during a violent storm (this may be unsettling or scary to very young kids).
		Truman goes through another tremendous storm at sea while in a sailboat and nearly drowns (this continues for several minutes that again will probably be tense to very young viewers).
		Truman and Marlon hit golf balls off a tee in the middle of a highway at night (that turns out to be on an unfinished bridge).

	BeCaL \| Toolkit - Study Guide to The Truman Show
		Truman Burbank lives in the apparently perfect town of Seahaven — unaware that this is a massive stage set complete with a false sky, that everyone else is an actor and that his entire life is being broadcast to the millions of people who tune in each day.
		Truman was an unwanted pregnancy who was adopted by the TV company at birth and who’s life is now relayed to the world.
		Truman then confides in his best friend, whom he has known since he was seven years old — someone Truman describes as "the closest thing I ever had to a brother." His friend tells him that the last thing he would ever do would be to deceive him.

	The Truman Show (1998)
		Truman's unsettling, darkly funny world is a kind of waking nightmare unlike anything ever previously created on film.
		Truman is not only preyed upon by a network of human and electronic spies, he is literally trapped in his own life, held down and penned in by the surreal existence in which he has been forced to spend every one of his thirty years.
		However, unlike those reality-based shows, the difference on The Truman Show is that the main character is blissfully unaware that he is on the air.

	The Truman Show
		The Truman Show is about the intrusion of the media in the lives of celebrities and the disruption such scrutiny causes, such as in the life of Princess Diana.
		The story is not so far fetched--a world built to broadcast a live soap opera 24 hours a day; a soap opera in which the principal figure is the only one not aware that it is all a set-up.
		So, under The Truman Show scenario, it is out of the frying pan, and into the fire: Out from God's world and into Satan's.

	The Truman Show. A Hollywood Jesus visual film review.
		The sailboat Truman takes to the edge of the world is named "Santa Maria" obviously for Christ's mother Mary (the carrier of the Messiah) and the name of the lead ship of Columbus' fleet that discovered the new world (at least for Southern Europe!).
		As Truman regains consciousness and is determined to raise the sail once again, he pulls himself upright by clutching the sail precisely at the number.
		Truman has not yet been released here but it was movies like "It's a wonderful life" that led to my life long interest in Philosophy that I have only now had the opportunity to pursue in earnest.

	THE TRUMAN SHOW (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Truman can only leave the community in which he lives if he travels over water and Christof has made sure that he is terrified of water.
		Truman recalls via flashback, a beautiful young woman (Natascha McElhone) whom he truly loves that tried to explain the television thing to him only to have Cristof send in an actor as her father saying she is disturbed and they're moving to Fiji.
		But the life of Truman Burbank plays as a television show, a Leave it to Beaver of sorts and although I realize everything is explained away that this is how Truman had been brought up to be, no one is that good.

	THE TRUMAN SHOW
		Truman even has a cushy desk job at an insurance company, in a beautiful coastal town called Seahaven.
		The first person to be adopted by a corporation (Omnicam), Truman has been raised wholly within the borders of both the fictional Seahaven and the reality that has been carefully constructed around him.
		In his most controlled performance to date, Carrey shows that he is more than capable of delivering dialogue through his mouth and not his butt-cheeks.

	the truman show
		In The Truman Show, an intelligent, sometimes powerful, but ultimately disappointing fable, people sit glued to their TVs 24 hours a day, watching Truman move cheerfully through his sunshiny hometown Seahaven on his way to work.
		The Truman Show, directed by Peter Weir (Dead Poets Society) from a script by Andrew Niccol (who wrote and directed the superior Gattaca last year), takes a rather ugly view of American voyeurism.

	The Truman Show
		The intelligent thing about The Truman Show is similar to the soundtrack release of Shine a couple of years ago - it is not really in the brilliance of the music itself, but more in the way in which it is used.
		The Truman Show is all about a giant con, in which a man named Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) is adopted at birth by a giant media corporation and who lives his life in Seahaven Island, in actual fact a enormous TV studio, surrounded by actors who Truman thinks are his friend and co-workers.
		Truman is unknowingly on TV 24-hours a day, filmed by thousands of hidden cameras controlled by the God-like Christof (Ed Harris), but slowly begins to question his existence in his seemingly idyllic suburban home.

	Eye on Comics » Blog Archive » The Truman Show
		Truman has demonstrated that his gritty linework works well for Westerns, with their arid settings and rough characters, and Scout is very much in the vein of those old Westerns.
		It’s interesting to compare Truman’s vision of the title character today (as depicted on the front cover) and his original take on the character, to be found within the book.
		Truman has set the story in an almost-impossible world and in circumstances to which the reader cannot relate.

		It is a television show like no other, for a world in which Truman will grow and be watched by millions of viewers has been created, unbeknownst to Truman, whose world forever will be peopled by actors playing life around him.
		Truman is the ultimate puppet, manipulated by his creator in the perfectly controlled environment of Seahaven Island, built under a fantastic dome that strives to hide its artificiality from Truman at every turn..

	Truman Show becomes a reality
		Instead of candidates living for several weeks inside a compound, German media reports say producers of the show are building a small town, complete with market square, church, shops, workplaces and a small forest.

		The planned format has drawn comparisons with the 1998 Hollywood film The Truman Show starring Jim Carrey, who is unwittingly the subject of a 24-hour television "reality" program.

		My show is about as never-ending and frustrating as Groundhog Day, and God's plan changes/unravels the scene to prepare me for the "proper" ending because I can't get laid either.
		We should be able to show you events like the O.J. Simpson murder investigation, the entire story of Jesus, the fall of the dinosaurs, the building of the pyramids, crop circles, aliens, weather systems, space exploration, and many other mysteries yet unsolved.
		Even though I said earlier that there were no cameras in my show, we can look back and record the events of my past and show them to you as a movie, but you'll be watching my life after the fact, not as it happened.
