Top Comments of this video!! :3
I was a Jehovahs Witness and grew up watching the Truman Show. They definitely demonized doing any critical investigation of the sect's history or theology, and instead insisted constant service to the religion through meetings and door to door work. I had my voyage moment when I decided to do research on the org and it felt extremely liberating to leave it behind.

13:09 The fact that Neo has powers in the "real world" shows that "the real world" is actually within another Matrix, but that is never properly explored in the films, unfortunately

I don't know why in the minute 4:10 I was expecting the scene from Matrix where Cypher is talking to the agent about the bliss of ignorance.

"You could say this is an example of philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattaris concepts..." I DID say that. That was the subject of my thesis paper, that included the same examples from the Truman Show and Eco, along with Baudrilliard and others. That's so funny. Wait, am I actually the subject of a reality tv show?

I find Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) to be very interesting in this aspect. The characters constantly struggle with continuing disillusionment wanting back what once was (getting their original bodies back), until at the end they accept the struggle, the responsibility with the complications, and continue in their lives, driven for just each other. It is the darkest part of coming of age portrayed incredibly well.
I would be over the moon, if you once would make a video on it.

I remember that on online forums it was said that there was an alternate ending in which as he walked out the door, Truman walked into an alley where a man was robbing an elderly woman and simply turned around and walked back to the set. The concept by Echo and the Disney example makes a LOT of sense of this myth.

My favorite thing about the movie is that it ends on Truman leaving. It kinda makes you think "oh by the way, this is just a movie, now go out there and live".
