7) Decoded Names: Uncovering Secrets in The Truman Show
Trending
The title of the characters contains a thematic clue into how the film explores themes in reality and illusion in Truman Show. Truman reflects reality, as his entire life is a constructed reality in a television show, but his wife, Meryl, is a play with the word "merely," which hints at how inauthentic she turns out to be as an adjunct to him. Fans who pick up on these names will recognize how the film uses those details to cleverly reveal the themes of manipulation, reality, and self-discovery.
