The Truman Show - Blog Posts
just watched “the truman show” and holy shit im so mad 😭 i’m sure this was the intent with the movie but the viewers only cared about what the show said they should care about. even though everyone watching the show knew that truman was literally living in a fucked up simulacrum of real life, they consumed the show with excitement and obsession, and only a small group of people thought negatively of it. then, once truman wants to escape, everyone is rooting for him? they didn’t care when truman didn’t care, but now they cheer once he escapes? where was that support before he knew about the situation he was in? they’d been watching the show for almost thirty years and didn’t care until now.
AND THEN, once the show was over and truman escaped, after the short period of celebration from viewers, they were just like “okay, let’s see what else is on tv” 😧 so they only care about what the television tells them to care about, and then once they’ve gotten all the stimulation they can out of one show, they move on to the next thing. it’s probably not that far off from real life but it really grinds my gears to see it in a movie i guess
Good morning 😊
And in case I don't see you good afternoon, good evening and good night
I can’t unsee Jim Carrey being Jerma, and Ludwig’s love child now. Thanks I hate it!

Idk if it just me but Jim Carrey from the truman show looks just like cillian Murphy as John skillpa from peacock and I hate it like babes brown eyes aren't your colour
Because the Truman Show had products and brands wanting to collaborate, do you think there have been some brands that failed? Like what if a big brand went through all the effort to get the product onto the Truman Show, just for Truman to hate it?
That had to be some type of gamble for the brand, right?
Like yeah you can get the brand advertised by the actors and across the town of SeaHaven, but there's also a risk that Truman will express disgust or hate towards it.
Catching Fire and The Truman Show: Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, and Truman are both living in "fishbowls" and they both fight to escape them.
During the lead up to MIDNIGHTS, Taylor posted a TikTok where she says “She’s a clock, it’s a clock, it’s a clock, it makes a clock, it could help you tell time.” People immediately noticed similarities to Catching Fire, when Katniss realizes that the arena is a clock.
If you’ve seen Catching Fire, you know that the 12 o’clock slice of the arena is a lightning bolt. And that lightning bolt is precisely how Katniss escapes the arena - when the clock strikes MIDNIGHT, she launches an arrow into the lightning, shattering the arena and allowing her to escape.
Meanwhile this is what Taylor has been doing every night while singing The Archer.
Catching Fire Theory by @LissaJoStewart
Truman is begged not to leave his life in the "fishbowl" behind - he's brought people joy and hope, and he has millions of fans counting on him. But he says his catchphrase one last time, stretches out his arms, and takes a final bow.
Taylor stands in front of the door and stretches out her arms to take a final bow before disappearing into the stage.
We will meet Taylor at MIDNIGHT when lightning will strike, the arena will shatter, and she’ll walk out the closet door.
Taylor's last moment on stage. Behind her the mysterious door that came from above during "Karma". This reddit user points out that the moment is similar to The Truman show ending!

Truman makes the choice to leave behind the only life he's ever known -a life of comfort and safety, but ultimately a life of inauthenticity. He leaves for the unknown, for the unpredictable, for the chance at a real life. IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, before finding the door, Truman finds stairs leading up into the clouds. Sound familiar?
(Many have already pointed out that the ascent into the clouds also mirrors the cover for the lesbian magazine The Ladder - but perhaps there's a bit of both?)

Hello Layton Nation! I made another AU.
Presenting:
This AU is based off of and inspired by The Truman Show.
More below!
(Major spoiler warning for all mainline PL games and for The Truman Show)
Hershel Layton is a Professor of Archaeology who leads a relatively peaceful life in the small town of Haverfield. He's lived in Haverfield for his entire life. He has two loving parents, Lucille and Roland, and a best friend and loyal apprentice, Luke.
Hershel doesn’t mind the rather mundane life he leads for the most part. He is bored, yes, but he’s safe. He no longer likes to go on grander adventures after his mother and Randalls’ deaths. He prefers to stay in his quiet office and research and read.
Hershel loves to solve puzzles, and the people of Haverfield love to provide. In fact, they seem to always have a puzzle on hand whenever Hershel brings up his growing desire to leave. The stability of a correct answer keeps him happy, after all, and so Hershel remains content (enough) with his life in Haverfield.
That is until several anomalies begin to make themselves known. He witnesses from his own driveway a stage light falling from the sky. The waves on the shore stop swelling for a day. A patch of rain falls only on him.
Hershel manages to brush them off with a twitching eyelid, but things spiral when he’s walking off of Gressenheller’s campus and spots Randall. Alive.
Hershel starts to doubt the nature of things. This is a puzzle he’s never been more desperate and frightened to solve.
His newfound paranoia and wariness only sharpen his advertency of the several abnormalities and conveniently placed coincidences happening around him, and the less-than-receptive reactions from his closest friends helps drive him further to the conclusion that perhaps none of it is real.
Details:
Christof: Leon
Truman: Hershel
Truman’s mother/father: Rachel
Marlon: Clark
Sylvia: Claire
Randall takes the place of Truman’s wife, Meryl, in many situations proceeding his return.
Additional non-og characters:
Henry
Angela
Dalston
Clark
Brenda
Luke
Desmond
Lucille
Roland
Since the dome in the Truman show is only like. 15 miles wide. There can probably only be two small towns. This means that Last Specter is the only Layton game that can. Happen. Sorry. Wow I really fucked up the plot of Professor Layton. Whatever. This is my au.
Some of this stuff may change! But here's what I have initially. I might write something for this. Who knows. I also probably forgot something. But that's okay I'll come back and add it later.
If anyone has any questions, please ask!! Questions help me think about things I may not have thought about before. I love answering questions. Grin!
