Paranoia (A Truman Show Fanedit)

First, thank you for doing this. I love the Truman Show, I watch it quite often. This edit, somehow, surpasses the original in my opinion, I do enjoy a lot of fan edits, rarely does one replace the source for me when I want to sit down and watch a movie. A lot of edits change the narrative, modify the flow, they're different enough to sit on their own alongside the source material, this edit here blows the source material away. My brother is the one who introduced me to the Truman Show, and after I watched it the first time I had to show it to him, we watched it together and we both agree this edit is superior.

Thank you for making this.

Extremely, extremely impressive. The amount of work that must've gone into this is insane - nothing is left untouched. This is what a true fanedit is, a completely transformative work of art. The video editing, the change in narrative & tone, the audio editing & rescoring, are all really well done. A very original concept, with a lot of imaginative changes. The tone has been completely changed to match that of Hitchcock's films. It's also paced very well. I won't go into specifics because this deserves a watch by anyone who's interested in fanediting and the potential it has.

Paul is very much alive, and I hope he gives us a couple more like this and the Silent Film Version of Dracula.

Perfect, its the best way to watch The Truman Show.

While the original would still be my prefered version this is a great and original take on it. Telling the story entirely from Trumans point of view and leaving the audience as confused by what is happeing really adds great tension and suspense. As a viewer I can imagine a first time viewer trying to unravel the mystery and firgure out what is happening just like a classic Hitchcock thriller. The resocring of the entire film is especialy noteworthy. Very carefully and well solected Bernard Hermann tunes. Loved it!

What about this edit? It's the very first one I've watched, and frankly I'm not disappointed!

The intro is just great!
The atmosphere is really very heavy: the constant noise of the vinyl cracking is really good. Also, I think it's cool that the scenes that are "outside" have been removed, so we are really immersed in Truman's world, without real interruption.
Also I was pretty happy that the pace was smooth, although at times it did slow down, but I know that was on purpose so it's not a negative!

The only negative point I could say is that at times you can hear one music over another which is a shame.
And that the so-called final scene in the boat was not kept in its entirety, because in my opinion it is really epic

Anyway,
A great edit that I recommend, it was great!
