The elevator 'reveal' makes no sense

This movie is 100% based on plot contrivances that a) don't have to exist and b) would never happen, if this was real.

I have already talked about the stupidity about GIVING HIM INFORMATION needlessly, the stuff he never needs to know. He can only know what they LET him know. Why feed him the truth about the planet, the stars, Fiji, names and positions of stars, when you ABSOLUTELY don't need to?

So the movie can happen. There's no need for 'Sirius' lamp, or any stars whatsoever. How would he know there are supposed to be stars in the sky, if he isn't told it? Also, wouldn't the 'light pollution' make it redundant anyway, since he wouldn't be able to see the lamp-stars any more than we can see real stars in a big city at night?

In any case, let's talk about the elevator scene, where Truman suddenly and accidentally surprises some workers on a break behind an elevator set (what sense does that make?).

I mean, what? What is this supposed to be? Why build a set behind an elevator, instead of a real, working elevator, if the next door leads to a real elevator anyway? What's the point and purpose of the big room behind the FULLY FUNCTIONAL elevator doors?

Why let the doors be functional, if it's just an unfinished set or something? Why EVER let those doors open, until there's a real, functional elevator behind them? Why even HAVE the doors, if they don't lead to an elevator? I mean, couldn't that elevator door system be replaced by an ordinary door, so it wouldn't raise suspicions, then if you need to build a real elevator, just build a real elevator! I don't get this 'real elevator doors that lead to fake set of something non-elevatory'-business.

I mean, what is this supposed to be? Can anyone figure it out?

It's not like some wild west town that only needs to have the fronts fully built, but do not have actual houses behind the fronts. This is a real, working city (even if it exists only for the show), so why would the elevator not be real? This makes no sense.

Of course, if these nonsensical contrivances didn't happen, the movie couldn't happen.

If there was even an ounce of realism in how things are built, set up and how Truman is controlled, he would -never- know about Fiji, there wouldn't be -this- many useless extras (think about how much money they would save just cutting 50% of the people that just do nothing but run around for Truman's benefit) - I mean, Truman doesn't need to think the city is all that bustling, does he?

There are 'lonely' places where not many people can be seen in the world. Why can't Truman's town be like one of those? There's absolutely NO need to have this many people in there.

There's also a lesson I learned from watching a Dog Whisperer that the people running this show haven't learned. The owner was trying to get the dog to go on its side, and the dog was basically 'giving him' the right side, but the oblivious owner didn't realize that, so he kept trying to turn the dog the OTHER way, and this frustrated the dog.

Now, they are doing the same thing to Truman here; forcing him to 'love' someone he doesn't NATURALLY love, and then removing the actor he DOES naturally love. Why go against 'mother nature'? Truman's 'love interest' is SO badly designed, it makes me vomit. They could have planned it much better from before he was even a toddler.

When they think he's the appropriate age, they would 'release' a bunch of volunteer teenager girls (or whatever), then see who Truman 'falls for' naturally and starts liking, and THEN proceed from there, and make contracts and arrangements with THAT girl.

It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense that they would pick his mate FOR him, and expect him to fall for her and love her, when he is SO CLEARLY interested in someone else.

In any case, back to the elevator scene; the controllers and actors know each second where Truman is. At least the relevant people do, right? So how come Truman can ever surprise them in any way? How come the elevator people didn't know Truman was approaching MINUTES before he was there? How come they didn't prepare for his arrival at all?

So they can at a few second's notice spawn 100 joggers with numbered shirts and everything (!) to block Truman from meeting his dad, but they can't prepare people for the elevator thing? They can't lock the doors or make them non-functional? They can't turn off the lights in that room so it just looks like 'darkness', like a non-functional elevator would? They can't put a 'ELEVATOR BROKEN' sign or something on the door? WHY WOULD THE DOOR OPEN, why wouldn't someone block Truman as efficiently as the joggers do at least?

None of this makes any sense, which really means, the whole movie makes no sense, because the movie can ONLY happen, if the 'controllers' are incredibly stupid.

The car scene is also ridiculously nonsensical; why would they KEEP LOOPING everything exactly the same _LONG_ after they _KNOW_ Truman has figured it out?
