The Truman Show (1998)

I found this to be an interesting point of view shot. Strangely enough it seems to be coming from the radio in his car. So far through the movie the viewer has caught a few glimpses through some odd POVs. This builds up the suspicion that he's being monitored intensively.



Truman and his friend are watching the sun set while Truman ponders the strange recent developments in his life. His friend says, "Look at that sunset Truman, its perfect. That's the big guy. Quite a paintbrush he's got." I got the impression he wasn't talking about God, but about some other "almighty" being, perhaps the one behind this facade. Honestly, have you ever seen a sunset like that?



This will probably end up being one of my favorite reaction shots ever. Here Truman is going through his photo album when he notices a small detail. Upon magnification he realizes that, in one of his wedding photos, his "wife" is crossing her fingers! His somewhat restrained response of surprise and shock is quite fitting.
