6. The Truman Show

I did a bit research about our oral presentation film, "The Truman Show" for using in our slideshow. I found some interesting information and wanted to share.

-In the town Truman lives, every street name refers to a real actor or actresses name. Lancaster Square and Barrymore Road are two of these.

-Truman's Sailboat is called "Santa Maria", which is also the name of Cristopher Colombus's ship.

-Before Jim Carrey got the role, Gary Oldman (he had played James Gordon in The Dark Knight) was thought as Truman.

-According to New York Times, after watching the film, lots of people in the USA had "Truman Syndrome", which refers to the delusion of being watched. (2008)

  1. Isn't that 'Truman Syndrome' weird? How can so many people be influenced by a film? (Did you have it after watching the film?) :)

  2. I didn't have the syndrome but actually I thought how would it be if I were in Truman's shoes :)
