πŸ”₯ Why Truman Ignored The Truth

Chase Hughesβ€’2:52

Transcription

A big-ass light falls out of the sky and smashes on the street in front of this guy's house. It almost hits him. He walks over and picks it up. It's heavy. It's [music] got screws in it. It's got a label on it that says Sirius. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. The brightest star in this man's [music] entire heavens just landed on the pavement with [music] a part number on it. So, he's holding proof. It's proof the sky is not real and he's holding a piece of it in his hands.

And then he gets [music] in his car, the car radio comes on and says an aircraft was shedding parts over the area. It's a crappy explanation, but that doesn't matter. The explanation doesn't [music] have to be good. It just has to arrive before the question finishes forming. >> [music] >> And it does. A man held the brightest star in his sky [music] and proof that his version of reality was not real and then went [music] to work.

So, everybody [music] thinks the horror of this movie is this this giant dome, the cameras, this fake wife that Truman has. The horror is the speed at how fast a human being hands the evidence of a false reality back and just rejoins the day. So, the dome is not the trap for [music] Truman. It's the schedule. And understand the timing of this here. This is 1998. There's no Big Brother yet. It's probably a year away or some change. No Survivor, no YouTube, no Facebook, no smartphones. When this movie said an ordinary man's life can be real content, the technology to make that real hadn't even been invented yet. So, the film wasn't mocking our modern world. It got here before we did.

So, this isn't going to be a movie review, and it's not a conspiracy video. It is a breakdown of the oldest story that humans tell. And it's so old that a Hollywood studio shot it frame for frame, and apparently never noticed [music] that they were filming actual scripture. By the end of this, you'll know something almost nobody figures out. Why showing a person the absolute truth usually makes them grip onto a lie even harder. And the one [music] thing that actually works instead of that. So, once you see the seams between all [music] of this, I don't think you'll be able to unsee them.
