What is your favorite scene in the Truman Show?
shareWhen Truman is drawing on the mirror with soap. The crew in the control room panic a little and are about to call their boss when they realize he's just screwing around. Not realizing his last sentence after he wipes the mirror, "That one was for free" and then winks well leaving the bathroom. The crew didn't understand but I very well did that he sent a message to them. That he's indeed very well aware that he's constantly being watched by them.
When the boat crashes into the wall and he's desperately trying to break it.
The part where they show how they tried to control all the ways of him staying in town, including a wild rottie barking and snarling at him not allowing him to go through as a child. This explains why he's afraid of Pluto the dalmatian and the little dog that the woman was holding. The fear of that dog still lingers in his brain, so he's afraid of dogs.
When the set light falls from the sky. It was so random, and I didn't realize what the movie's plot was about at that time, so I was so confused when that happened since there were blue skies up above!
When his wife yells "DO SOMETHING!", when she thinks he's about to cut her with the knife and then realizes that he was just trying to remove it from her hand, quickly composes herself and denies ever yelling for help.
When Truman is trying to make a break for it with his wife in the car, they are cut off due to a powerplant or something. The officer after explaining why they can't go through at the end says, "Okay bye, Truman." completely giving away that he knew his name when they had never met. Which then Truman makes another run for it on his feet until he gets tackled down.
The entire movie was a masterpiece.
>>>>Truman attempting to make his way through the storm.
We see Christof being very quiet, when suddenly Truman shouts out "Is that the best you can do!? You're gonna have to-KILL MEEE!!"
To me, I saw that scene almost like the equivalent of a son defying his father, and the father losing his temper that his attempts to 'punish' the son have not worked.
>>>>>>>>
It's an even stronger scene as at that point he doesn't know it's a TV show. He could be yelling that at God as the ultimate act of defiance.
Incredible sequence.
"What are you, some kind of doomsday machine, boy?"

But as we've seen, Christof is a god of this world, given he can 'cue the sun' like in that one scene.
It reminded me also of during Christof's god speech to Truman, we see Sylvia quietly looking skyward and going, 'please, God,' and on the screen, we hear Christof's 'faux-god' preaching to Truman.
"Thanks, guys." "So long, partner."
