The Truman Show - just some thoughts.
Although I've seen this film many times, there's something so captivating and alluring about this film that I always find myself coming back to it. The very prospect of the film is genuinely terrifying, where a man is being stalked by millions of people daily who cannibalize his very existence without knowledge of this. A notion that we see daily in our modern lives.
Everyone is constantly being documented and surveyed; CCTV, social media, videos, photos, etc. Any moment, public or private, could be made for someone else's gratification or even their own content - much like Christof's views on The Truman Show (seriously stop filming random people, TikTok is rotting our brains into thinking that it's an okay thing to do).
If we as people are consistently being documented while also documenting ourselves - where do entertainment and reality become two separate entities? We almost become the Truman in our own reality.
One of my favourite parts of the film is the feature of the pin that Sylvia wears, "How's it going to end?". You often hear this question in relation to consuming media, when a show is gripping you yearn to know how it ends and we can see this parallel through our lives through a philosophical lens, how is our life going to end?
Truman's life is monotonous and barren, in his mind he knows how it ends - he stays married and dies of old age. But living is about taking risks, the moments of joy and despair, the unexpected, and the absolute humanity. Truman realises at the end when he ascends the staircase towards the exit, he doesn't want to know and he understands that this artificial 'perfect' life isn't real, it's fiction.
It amazes me but ever so slightly freaks me out how jim carrey can play the most over exaggerated funny guy to the most serious charming guy ever. Love his range. Seriously though go and fucking watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Yeah it ends up being a dark ass movie but damn it's fudging amazing

A lot of people make fun of or just don't understand people who don't read books. And I get it, I get all the reasons people well read don't get why someone wouldn't read
But I feel the same way about movies and video games too, and I don't see that discussed as much
They've never seen Truman bow and step through that door
Or Andy craw his way from hell
Or John drop the man holding Nakatomi Plaza hostage out a window
Or Bloom come to realize his brother is dead
And they've never felt the chilling screens of Ravenholm
Or the sense of pride following a full binding pantheon
Or fear at your helpless to the system that will set you free
Or the tragedy of a screaming woman stuffed in a machine
I just feel those who she experience games and movies are missing out just as much as those who don't read

The funny thing is when you start feeling happy alone, that’s when everyone decides to be with you.

Excerpt from: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The pacing of this scene is so good from a comedic standpoint, but it amazes me how genuine Mary’s character was. At this point you weren’t aware that she had been mind-wiped. So it adds a dramatic tone when you watch it all over again.
An excerpt from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) script.
I had watched the movie more than once before I could understand this scene, the sequence was pretty chaotic and with the narration being something interrupting- I couldn’t really feel sad more than I was confused. But now I realize that confusion is equally sad. Like Clementine as a fleeting figment of Joel’s mind, I felt my understanding of reality was disappearing.

This is why you never ask Jim Carrey to play Joe Biden on TV.
“Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realize how peaceful and calm it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.”
