Line 151:
'''Sylvia:''' He's not a performer, he's a prisoner. Look at him, look at what you've done to him! }}
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Truman's fear of water - which was deliberately engineered to keep him from escaping, because the town he lives [[Gateless Ghetto|in is on an island.]]
* [[Word of God]]: Extra material offered by the writers reveals that Christof was an acclaimed film-maker who won an Oscar in his 20s for a documentary on the homeless. He created The Truman Show soon after. This emphasizes what he's trying to say in the above "[[What the Hell, Hero?]]" quote - he really has tried to give Truman the perfect All-American life, sheltered from the cruelty and absurdity of the real world.
* [[World Limited to the Plot]]: Deconstructed - The movie has two plotlines that eventually merge. The "inner" plotline suffers heavily from [[World Limited to the Plot]], but the "outer" plotline reveals that this is caused by [[The Masquerade|manipulation]] rather than bad storytelling.
* [[You Look Familiar]]: In a [[Deleted Scene]], Truman runs into a jogger played by the same actor who played a homeless man in a wheelchair two days earlier.
