History Awesome / TheTrumanShow

--->'''Engineer:''' He's gonna drown and he doesn't even care!

* "[[MeaningfulEcho In case I don't see ya: Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight]]." Truman rebuffs Christof's offer to stay, [[GrandFinale takes a bow, and walks out of the set as people around the world cheer]]. Christof falls into a VillainousBSOD and slumps over in shock, while a nameless studio executive tells the crew to cut the feed, ending the live show for good.

* While it is a sad and [[NightmareFuel scary]] moment, Truman lashing out at Meryl after she pulls a bunch of knifes is a sign that he's not gonna put up with her bullshit anymore.

* There's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EynCFAF8Q2Q deleted scene]] where Christof has a cast meeting, and maintains to his actors that not only will he eventually produce the "first on-air conception" but he'll have [[HereWeGoAgain a whole new channel]] for Truman's prospective child. In response, Louis Coltrane (Marlon) proceeds to make things very awkward:

* A small but pivotal moment: Due to a technical glitch, Truman accidentally hears instructions being fed to people around him over a radio frequency he's never heard before. Disturbed, he then spends the next ten minutes going out of his way to break the usual morning routine in various different ways, ranging from subtle to wildly idiosyncratic. It pays off when, at one point, he ''walks into a green room.'' It's the first section of the movie where he really starts to question his surroundings.

-->'''Truman:''' [[IsThatTheBestYouCanDo IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO]]! [[SmiteMeOMightySmiter YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO...]] [[{{Determinator}} KILLLLL MEEEEEEEE!]]

* Even the TV engineer (played by Creator/PaulGiamatti) is moved by Truman's defiance, [[EveryoneHasStandards refusing to be the one to increase the effects to their limits and kill Truman]].

* "You ''never'' had a camera in my head!" An understated ShutUpHannibal.

* After the incidents that give him full knowledge that things are fake, Truman decides to give the audience one more show and goes along with his usual routine. ''No one'', not the cast or the filming staff, realizes he's onto their secret and just playing them. Ironically and literally "acting" in a live reality show ''and fooling them all''.

* "CueTheSun". This is moments after turning ''the moon into a spotlight'' to hunt Truman down.

* Three words: "CueTheSun". This moments after turning ''the moon into a spotlight'' to hunt Truman down.
* Truman's last attempted escape, over water -- his biggest, engineered phobia -- with a storm deliberately blown up to massive proportions. Logically, he wouldn't have been very good at sailing, then couple that with the fact that Christof was ready to ''kill him'' to stop him from leaving, but with the entire audience cheering him on, Truman still survives, and offers one of the most defiant screams ever, while [[OhCrap Christof looks on in shock:]]

* Burkhard Dallwitz's score. Listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTiVw3rFNhU Storm]] and say you don't get goosebumps.

-->'''Christof:''' I think what distresses you ultimately, caller, is that Truman prefers his 'cell', as you call it.
-->'''Sylvia:''' You're wrong. You're so wrong. And he'll prove you wrong.
