When The Truman Show premiered in 1998, "Reality TV" as we know it was in its infancy. Shows like The Real World existed, but the world had yet to see the explosion of Survivor , Big Brother , or the "always-on" culture of social media.
Watching The Truman Show in a format brings the artifice of Seahaven into sharper focus. When the film was released in 1998, the transition to high-definition was just beginning. The crispness of a BluRay rip allows us to see the "seams" of Truman’s world more clearly—the hidden cameras tucked into pencil sharpeners and the overly saturated, "perfect" lighting of a massive soundstage. thetrumanshow1998720pblurayx264aacetrg verified
