">If [wife] leaves him he gets an instant hotter replacement"

As someone happily married, I am rather offended at how incredibly shallow this statement is. My wife is nothing short of an incredible human being, and someone assuming I would immediately get over losing her if someone "hotter" instantly replaced her is a horrible statement.

And you just know that there are people IRL who think like this.

I mean, that’s the conflict of the movie. If everyone around you is always kissing your ass, you’ll never know you need to wash it. Sounds great on the surface but he wants to know he’s actually loved. Not just because it’s scripted to love him.

If everyone around me was being paid to like me all the time, I’d never be sure if I was a good person. No one would ever correct me or tell me I need to do better.

Dude saw the Truman Show and actually envied him. God that's cursed

Anon wants to be plugged back into the Matrix.

"The plot demands he can never struggle too much"

"Let's kill his dad when he's 12."

I mean thats basically why it was the biggest show in the world in the movie.

Everyone idealizes what it must be like to be so pure and safe from decisions. Not realizing that curiosity and a desire to be free to choose who we are is more inherent to who we are than our exhaustion at complications of life.

So people watch, to pretend to be simple.

Anon is forgetting about the unskippable ads.

The secret ingredient is slavery.

Also, 100% guaranteed the producers of the show watched Truman fap.

Because, anon, you’re seeing him from the outside looking in, and he couldn’t look out (until he broke free.)

You seem to assume that, knowing what you do, you’d have the same knowledge you do now when you’re in his position. You wouldn’t. You, just as he did, would have to discover the same discrepancies he did, and you (being him) would sail until you hit the wall.

Anon, do you by any chance find yourself agreeing with Cypher regarding pill choices?

You have all the google (/other corp) services making your life easier, turning on the lights when you say so, syncing your files, emails across all you devices, hosting your videos, editing your family pictures for you etc... and all that for free.

But what did you sacrifice for all that, Truman ?

Anon doesn't realize how distressing schizophrenia is. Not a moment's privacy

Does he have sex with his "wife"? Are they legally married? There's a lot I'd like to know about Truman's world.

I feel like Truman, except its inversed. Everyone around me just trolling. Everyone is abusive. Everyone ignores me. I am the Anti-Truman.

Fake: Anon likes the internet too much to go back to the early 90's

Gay: Anon wants to be psychologically abused by another man for the rest of his life (CNC mascdom)

Truman Show has the same message as The World's End

Maybe our mistake is assuming it’s possible to build a utopia. Maybe every timeline ends is dystopia and the only way for that to not happen is to be satisfied with where we’re at today and halt “progress”
