90% of the budget was laundered. That said, they should have built in the idea that plane travel means getting in a pod and being gassed before you wake up somewhere else
It also has sort of a reference to humans leaving the Garden of Eden. Sure God made the perfect world why would you want to leave? For freedom and adventure.
>90% of the budget was laundered
what does that even mean? why would asking thir investors for some more money for a fiji set change that in any way? utter moron
no I'm making a joke. modern Hollywood budgets are out of control but the quality keeps dropping, leading to accusations that "they" are squirrelling it away
And how would he travel to Fiji? Would they have fake planes that he would get into and then fake landscape playing outside his window as the plane pretends to fly? How would all that work?
>Woman role of her life is faking a marriage with Truman
Imagine the kind of psycho she really was. did she have "Time for herself" leaving Truman 3-4 months to go on parade around America because the success of the show?
I got a feeling that they were still on crisis mode so they just stalled him for more time. Fiji set takes time too.
Even though they were ridiculously rich the space was still a problem. They used all their stage for the island and sea and didn't have much mainland set. They probably didn't have more room for the highway and airport on mainland.
The more the fictional world diverges from reality, the easier it is for an extra to slip up. Why not do a setting like the island is the only place in the world people live? And airplanes are the gods.
I'd love to see a movie like this but where some kind of apocalypse happens to the outside world and the Truman character doesn't realize anything is happening until the power goes or the other characters break character or don't show up to work.
Kind of like Dead Set, where the contestants are on Big Brother during a zombie outbreak but don't know until it's too late
>its a truman sits at home drinking marlon's beers, shitposting on a tv and film board that is mostly memes, and jerking off multiple times all day episode
All that philosophical and morality stuff aside
This idea was pretty funny in the idea itself and in the execution of this movie we got.
How ridiculous the situation is.
How easily they came up with funny solution to obvious problem: they drugged kid Truman and took him to a Rushmore set.
How elegantly and slightly they used tropes of TV shows to mention this to the audience: "remember that time we took you to Rushmore and you were sleeping the whole time?" "aren't those mountains too close in the picture"
Later there were movies trying to make similar idea, such as Synecdoche New York but it was done clumsily.
Or see how the Divergents and Maze Runner did the staged world thing. They just didn't have the magic, despite having invested ten times more screen time and effects on the idea.
because the goddamn movie is not about a literal TV-show, but instead a metaphor for being stuck in a fake world. being incapable of seeing extremely obvious symbolism and messages being conveyed between the lines is the mark of the NPC.
Yeah wtf
90% of the budget was laundered. That said, they should have built in the idea that plane travel means getting in a pod and being gassed before you wake up somewhere else
Yes, why did they make his life so mundane? They could have had horror or a sci fi scenarios every week
Christopher wanted to prove that he could create a better world than God for humans
It also has sort of a reference to humans leaving the Garden of Eden. Sure God made the perfect world why would you want to leave? For freedom and adventure.
...you mean god is evil and humans fell out of grace for freedom and was actually good?...
>God is evil for making us a paradise

Comet Ping Pong of course.
>asking thir investors for some more money
Oh sweet summer child...
The show's budget on paper was already astronomical. It was being embezzled.
Did they really mention this in the movie?
Its been a few years since i last saw it. Dont remember that bit.
no I'm making a joke. modern Hollywood budgets are out of control but the quality keeps dropping, leading to accusations that "they" are squirrelling it away
Why didn't they have travel restrictions due to apandemic scenario at the ready?
And how would he travel to Fiji? Would they have fake planes that he would get into and then fake landscape playing outside his window as the plane pretends to fly? How would all that work?
They'd drug him and make it seem like he flew for hours.
Why not just let him go to Fiji and just have agents tail him?
To go to real Fiji they would have to leave the studio first. They would come across the backstage and probably have to drug him.
because it is an allegory for israeli control of media
It was far more convenient to make Truman afraid of water than to inspire wanderlust in him and have to work around that every year.
>Woman role of her life is faking a marriage with Truman

someone would have taken the job if she didn't
no, the environment has too many variables the director can't control for it to be practical.
that doesn't answer my question
Yeah and I forgot he's a celeb so some slant-eye could be like HORRY CRUP ITS THE TRUMAN MAN, YOU ON TV, YOU TV MAN, VERY FUNNY!
you could easily get him on a tiny remote island and tell him it's "fiji" and staff the place with actors.
Too expensive
To go to any other place requires a transition from the main stage to the other stage
They should have reserved half the floor for transition long ago but instead they used up all the space they got.
Imagine all the R34 of Truman in that universe's internet...

Even though they were ridiculously rich the space was still a problem. They used all their stage for the island and sea and didn't have much mainland set. They probably didn't have more room for the highway and airport on mainland.
Why did they even use a real map? They could've said Fiji was the next town over.
The more the fictional world diverges from reality, the easier it is for an extra to slip up. Why not do a setting like the island is the only place in the world people live? And airplanes are the gods.
They said Fiji in the first place to scare him because Truman already saw world map and was afraid of sea
This, the Fiji line was improv. Not a bad idea in the moment, but not planned out either
The movie was perfect the way they made it that's why I suppose.

Far cry 5

Why not just tell him there is no world beyond this island?
He needs ambition.
I think he wanted to create a genuine human experience which wouldn't work if you had some star trek larp or something as the guy's reality.

Maze Runner is obviously not as good as Truman but it's a nice little unpozzed action trilogy.

This movie has Penn Pavels. The beer of movies and TV.

I've been on a plane when it was struck by lightning. Sounded like being inside a big bell being rung.
