10 More Fan Theories That Totally Change Your Favourite Movies

10. The Show Was Sabotaged From Within - The Truman Show

The Truman Show demonstrated reality TV at its highest possible level, as the subject of the show, Jim Carrey's Truman, didn't even realise what was going on. He thought that the world created by Christof was reality, and it took a ridiculous amount of work to create such an illusion.

This is why seeing so many things jump out at Truman in just one day is a little hard to believe. Certain things like "dead" characters trying to make contact, or fans breaking in to tear down the fourth wall weren't in the show's control, but other things happened within a short span that should have been. According to this theory, these things were well under the control of an inside group trying to lead Truman to discover his life was a lie.

A worker could have loosened the light, causing it to fall, someone could have changed the radio frequency in Truman's car so he could hear himself being watched, and surely the actors playing supposed strangers in his life would have known better than to call him by his actual name.

All of these things happening so close together simply can't be a coincidence. People trying to outright tell him about the show had failed, but if they could plant the idea that things weren't right in his head without specifically telling him, then nothing Christof could throw at him would be able to quell it.
