10 Incredible Comedy Movie Details You Definitely Missed

2. Vitamin D - The Truman Show

Fargo William H. Macy

The entire essence of The Truman Show revolves around hiding the truth within plain sight. You can't secretly film a man's entire life under his nose and broadcast it to the world without a couple of sleight of hand tricks, and that's something you can pick up on if you look really closely. 

For example, if you keep an eye out, you can hunt for hidden cameras placed in everyday objects and locations throughout the film. That's one example of this movie's relentless detail, but another hints at how much thought went into crafting this Big Brother like world.

One question that springs to mind is how Truman's health is so good, given that he is never exposed to sunlight. Those studio-controlled lighting rigs restrict his access to natural light, which would surely lead to a vitamin D deficiency. 

Well, the movie takes this into account, as you can spot a big bottle of vitamin D supplements next to Truman's coffee when he's grabbing some breakfast. It is nice to know that his overlords think about these kind of things.
