AV Club:

If anything has changed between now and the movie’s 10-year anniversary, it’s that the internet has transformed into this place, where every conspiracy theory is true, where everyone is always watching, waiting for you. The Truman Show looks less like the increasingly scripted world of modern reality TV and more like the modern internet—full of endless antagonism, hyper-specific advertising, constant surveillance, seductive conspiracy theories, vainglorious anger, and preening self-importance. The film ends with Truman finding a door out of his reality at the edge of the soundstage, leaving us to wonder what awaited him in the real world. For a clue, we might look to Carrey himself, who has kept busy in recent years protesting Facebook and wandering onto a red carpet to tell an E! interviewer that she doesn’t exist. He has achieved viral fame within the hell-world of Twitter for paintings that lampoon—who else?—our reality-TV president. In 2018, there isn’t a single person online who isn’t, in some way, operating under the delusion that he made famous.

Really enjoyed this look back on The Truman Show in 2018 by Clayton Purdom. One of my favorite movies ever, which has become strangely prescient today.
