* GroupReactsIndividually: When Truman finally escapes the giant TV soundstage where he has spent his whole life, the people watching on TV have differing reactions. Most viewers cheer and celebrate his escape. Sylvia, a former cast-member who had been fired for trying to tell him the truth years ago, rushes out of her apartment to try to reunite with him. Christof, the creator of the show, hangs his head in defeat as he realizes his life-work is finished. And in the final shot, a pair of viewers just look for the TV Guide to see what else is on.
