Also, if youβre into it, this is a fantastic deep dive on the filmβs layers:

I donβt think the film was saying "this is how it has to be" or trying to make hard predictions. It was more about control vs. freedom.
Truman chose to leave once he realised the truth had been hidden.
That doesnβt mean no one would ever consent to such a life... only that *he* wouldnβt.
It just shows that _this_ particular show required deception to work the way it did.
A version with informed consent wouldβve been a completely different kind of show... and arguably a less compelling one for the viewers in that universe.
I love both those movies. Great point about The Fifth Element... I havenβt rewatched it in a while, now I want to.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I donβt think The Truman Show implies that "you couldn't do this unless you tricked someone."
Wait a sec⦠Max looks so smol in this photo!

It's my story of leaving my dev job, and trying to build something meaningful. Would mean a lot if you checked it out. Promise to get better at this whole video thing π
