Truman Show Quotes from Christof
Cue the sun!
Christof
Where you going, Truman?
Christof
We’ve become bored with watching actors give us phony emotions. We are tired of pyrotechnics and special effects. While the world he inhabits is, in some respects, counterfeit, there’s nothing fake about Truman himself. No scripts, no cue cards. It isn’t always Shakespeare, but it’s genuine. It’s a life.
Christof
We accept the reality of the world with which we’re presented. It’s as simple as that.
Christof
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
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
Talk to me. Say something. Well, say something, goddamn it. You’re on television. You’re live to the whole world.
Christof
Truman Show Quotes from Meryl
How can anyone expect me to carry on under these conditions? It’s unprofessional!

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.

Hi, honey! Look what I got free at the checkout. It’s a “Chef’s Pal”. It’s a dicer, grater, peeler, all in one. Never needs sharpening, dishwasher safe!
Meryl
Truman Show Quotes from Marlon
It’s a lot of world for one man, Truman. Are you sure that’s not wishful thinking? You wishing you’d made something more of yourself.
Marlon
Look at that sunset, Truman. It’s perfect…that’s the Big Guy. Quite a paintbrush he’s got.

It’s all true. It’s all real. Nothing here is fake. Nothing you see on this show is fake. It’s merely controlled.

Other Truman Show Quotes
You never see anything anyway. They always turn the camera and play music and you know, the wind blows in and the curtain moves and you don’t see anything.

We can’t let him die in front of a live audience!
Network Executive
One point seven billion 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.

He’s not a performer, he’s a prisoner. Look at him, look at what you’ve done to him!

I’ve been in-love with this movie ever since it went out. I’ll throw in a few cent, Jim Carrey should play another role like this I guess. He is very good at it and the movie industry should give him another shot instead playing a support role or a villain. I mean I saw him once being a freak-o in the The Cable Guy so why Dr. Robotnik? But, hands-down to this man. He never stop doing what he wanted to do as actor.
100%! Eternal Sunshine also a great role for him.
