“The Truman Show” almost concluded with a highly meta stinger, according to SYFY Wire. This proposed ending would have added another layer of self-awareness to the film’s exploration of reality and media manipulation, potentially deepening the audience’s reflection on the boundaries between entertainment and personal autonomy.

One of my favorite bits of detail in Truman Show is the scene where Truman meets Marlon at his workplace. Marlon is stocking a shelf with items from a box. During their conversation, Marlon ran out of items to stock. When Truman looked away for a moment, Marlon retrieved a few of those items again so he could continue stocking the shelf when Truman resumed speaking with him.

Nice bit of contemporary science fiction.
