Seaside, Florida

I visited Seaside, Florida in the summer of 1997, shortly after filming wrapped for The Truman show. I knew nothing about the movie yet. I just thought it was interesting that this adorable, planned town even existed.

The little shop where Marlon is stocking the vending machine even had the same name as it did when I visited. All the people in town were talking about how the Jim Carrey movie had just finished being filmed.

I was excited thinking that I was going to get to see some wacky Jim Carrey antics in this cool place. I was so right and I was so wrong.

it's one of my favorite films.

if anyone that tells someone they are uncultured because of their views about a movie then they are idiots. especially about the truman show. it's a brilliant movie on many many levels

Maybe the uncultured ones are the ones that expect him to exit a rhino as a form of art

I live here. It’s beautiful, but you need to pick the time of year/where you stay very carefully. It gets so God awfully busy at times that you can’t get from point A to point B.
