Isn't it scary when media predicts the future? For every Back to the Future 2, which was wildly optimistic about 2015 (where's my hoverboard?), there's a Nostradamus-level prediction, usually from The Simpsons. Well perhaps the most accurate depiction of all comes from a movie that turns 25 this year, and it's leaving Netflix on the 1st of January
The Truman Show is a seminal comedy that depicts the ultimate form of reality TV, a man's entire life. Jim Carrey plays the titular Truman, a man who has lived his whole life as the unwitting star of his own show. Everyone around him is an actor, sponsors follow him everywhere, and his entire life is a lie. His home is a giant dome, even with a false sky. It's the ultimate form of impostor syndrome, and it's all completely true. Spooky on an existential level.
