    • Trivia
      On its first showing on German TV, it wasn't shown with any announcement explaining the satire, but just like a "straight" game show. Hundreds of young men didn't realize that the movie is fiction, taking it for a real TV game show; they applied themselves for the show, either as future candidates or man-hunters.

    The real Truman Show
    Great film and above all very exciting. Camera always calm and no wobble. Not much talk besides the moderator. Music wasn't special, but the movie is just a TV movie and that's why it's great. In the end I also liked the one shot where Lotz was shocked and lay on the stretcher at the end, holding the one million EUR envelope. You can see or understand the message of the film from this.
