The thing I find fascinating is that this film came out in 1998. While there had been reality tv *before* this, it predates the boom in America. We watched this and decided we liked the idea of a voyeuristic faux reality. Within the next five years we got Survivor, The Osbournes, The Amazing Race, American Idol, X Factor, Next Top Model, The Apprentice, etc, etc

2025-11-01 08:26:06 +0000 UTCThe Truman Show is very similar, with enough differences to avoid getting sued, to an episode of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone titled "A World of Difference" which itself is part of a long line of reimagined versions of Plato's "The Cave". It's not at all like the Jim Carrey stuff we had come to expect and yet somehow it's still undeniably "Jim Carrey" (unlike say Robin Williams in One Hour Photo or Insomnia ... both of those are some really disturbing 💩🤣)
