The Truman Show
Quotes from the film
|
| |
| |
"On the air,
unaware." (film's tagline) |
| |
|
"We found many
viewers leave him on all night for comfort" (Christof) |
| |
|
"For me there
is no difference between private life and public life. My life is the
'Truman Show'. The 'Truman Show' is a lifestyle, a noble lifestyle. It is ... a truly
blessed life." (Meryl) |
| |
"Why do you
want to have a baby with me? You can't stand me!" (Truman)
"That's
not true! ... Why don't you let me fix you some of this Mococoa drink, all
natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua,
no artificial sweeteners!" (Meryl)
"What the
hell are you talking about?!? Who are you talking to?!?" (Truman)
"I've
tasted other cocoas, this is the best!" (Meryl) |
| |
|
"What you're
gonna do? Dice me, slice me or peel me? There's so many
choices!" (Truman) |
| |
|
"I've been
your best friend since we were seven year old Truman . . .
You're the closest thing I ever had to a brother Truman! . . . But the point is, I'd
gladly walk in front of trafic for you, Truman. And the last thing I'd ever do is lie
to you." (Marlon) |
| |
|
"One point
seven billions were there for his birth. 220 countries tuned in for his first step. The
world stood still for that stolen kiss. And as he grew so did technology. An entire
human life - recorded on an intricate network of hidden cameras and broadcasted live and
uninterrupted 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to an
audience around the globe." (TV) |
| |
"As Truman
grew up, we were forced to manufacture ways to keep him on
the island." (Christof)
(flashback) "I'd
like to be an explorer like the great Magellan."
(Truman as a child)
"Oh, you're
too late, there really is nothing left to explore!"
(his teacher)
(back to present) "Finally I came up with the concept of Kirk's
drowning." (Christof)
"Mostly
brilliant! Truman's been terrified of the water ever since."
(interviewer) |
| |
"Was nothing
real?" (Truman)
"You were real.
That's what made you so good to watch. There is no more truth out there
than there is in the world I created for you. The same lies, the same deceit. But in
my world, you have nothing to fear." (Christof) |
| |
"Everything
on the show is for sale. The actor's wardrobe, food products, to the very
homes they live in." (Christof)
"And of course
all of it available in the Truman catalogue." (interviewer) |
| |
"Hi Christof,
I'd just like to say one thing. You're a liar and a manipulator and what
you've done to Truman is sick!" (Sylvia) . . .
"I
have given the chance for Truman to lead a normal life. The
world, the place you live in, is the sick place. Seahaven is
the way the world should be." (Christof)
"He's not a performer, he's a prisoner. Look at him, look at what you've done to him!"
(Sylvia) |
