I am amazed that a movie made seven years ago classifies it as old....that makes ME feel old. Oh, and I doubt that anyone is going to that much trouble to make your life "fake"; nice idea though.

I know lots of people who've been really freaked out by that movie. Mostly stoners, but not all.

it just freaks me out. how creepy is living and growing up in a fake world/life? sometimes i wants to look for cameras every where, but i stop myself, because THATS just crazy.

I think when that movie came out everyone questioned their reality. It is just weird that you think about it everyday.

If you haven't seen The Matrix yet then you might want to pass on that one. It has a very similar effect on people.

see here, i've seen the matrix, and it wasn't the same, i mean, it being all futuristic doesn't cut it. the truman show is different. it didn't seem so far fetched to me, still doesn't. why not right? I think about it every day because i look at the people i know, and have known for years, but it always comes back to the moment in the movie where truman starts realizing that everything is so different. i don't know what it is, i just get that feeling every time, maybe its a look i get from people, or the fact that i feel like everyone's watching me. Either way, nothing but shivers if i think about it for more than a couple of minutes.

I think that's really interesting. The scariest thing is that you would never know. You can't tell what people are thinking or even if they think. You just assume that everyone is like you. You think and act on your own free will but it doesn't mean others do too! Scary stuff! I'm not a paid actor, if that helps.

i only wish i could beleive your not a paid actor. is it wrong to second guess and doubt everyones credability/cretability?(not sure of the spelling)

I think it's normal to question it and think about it, but there comes a point when you have to trust people when they say they aren't. Otherwise, it could really affect the way you live your life and the relationships you make. Besides, isn't it more reasonable to believe that we're not paid actors?

of course i don't honestly beleive that you're all paid to make my life SEEM real, otherwise i'd be as crazy as shit, and i woudn't be on the internet, thats for sure. i don't let these thoughts change the way i trust or not, this is actually the first time i mentioned it to anyone. although i do think aboutit every day, and i say that it doesn't affect the way i live, but that fact i'm trying to compensate for that may be creating a bias. who knows. i guess i posted this story to find out , however small the veiwers are, if anyone has ever thought about it like i do, meaning, almost all the time. I couldn't expect to find anyone who has an everyday occurance, but perhaps someone who thinks abot it often enough to relate.
Living in a fake world = still creepy as fuck

Dude , once i had that feeling, too ... But what really concerned me was the simple fact that i never escaped from my region before that , and always when i try to do something in that way somebody would stoped me ... But it was just for a 1 day.

Sounds like either http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depersonalization

or
It was the best movie you've seen in the last 7 years.
Take your pick. Whichever it is, you're mental.

When I was a kid I read this science-fiction story called "The Silicon Man" where a guy winds up having his conciousness transferred into a computer and lives in a virtual world not unlike the Matrix. After reading the book I started thinking about weird sensations that I had, like a feeling of disorientation when I became extremely embarassed and other episodes when some kind of sensation or excitement would make me think that I had some kind of TV static in my senses periodically in everyday life, as if my senses were machine inputs that were subject to interference on occasion. The explanation of Deja Vu in the Matrix kind of reminded me of that.

I would think of this from time to time over the years when I had one of these odd sensations but gradually it passed. I can't say I was ever obsessed with it but it sure did seem like a likely possibility for a month or two during my youth.

To give a short piece of advice on it, think; If your life was planned and staged and faked, would the planners really have let you see a movie like "The Truman Show" which could put doubts into your mind, and ruin the work they had done trying to make your world look real?

And unless you want to postulate a science-fiction scenario with a super-intelligent computer or aliens or something, there is no way any planner could keep up a fake world accounting for every possible idea that might occur to you to test it. Eventually you would do something unpredictable and then see behind the veneer at last like Truman did.

What if the entire universe is all your imagination and you are god, alone forever.

Fuck that shit. the two movies I have from netflix right now are from 1973 and 1965. Old. More like stupid. Insulated. Kids these days.

The Truman Show was boring.Jim Carrey is boring.One lousy movie after another.I wish he would stop it.
