Paranoia (A Truman Show Fanedit)

Beautiful idea, takes Weir's original and transforms it into something near-Lynchian with its uncanny look at control through conformity. The artificiality of people talking to him is reminiscent of Blue Velvet and the context-free time jumps work in a similar manner as Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway. If you only watched this edit without knowing anything of Weir's original, it might seem odd. It works very well as a companion piece from Truman's POV. I chuckled thinking about the possibility that 1000 years from now, this fan edit has survived but The Truman Show hasn't and historians try to piece together the original from this. Replacing Glass with Herrmann works surprisingly well too.

A minor gripe is that I also love Saul Bass but I don't think the Vertigo opening title sequence fits the rest of the film.

Another one of Paulisdead2221's masterpieces. I didn't know I needed a version of the Truman Show filtered through the eye of Alfred Hitchcock, turns out I really do need one. To say it was a joy to watch this version is an understatement. The imagination on display is breathtaking. The fact that almost a third of the movie is cut and yet the story flows so perfectly is just so damn impressive. Excellent. I can't wait for Paul's next FanMix.

This is a transformative example of what editing can do, and its potential to change the meaning of a film.

There were only a couple of instances where the black and white “hidden camera” filter was used at the wrong shots, making it seem impossible the camera could be placed in such a position. But they were few compared with the overall editing done here.

The score was great, the pacing was superb. Overall, experiencing this is absolutely recommended, it’s an opus of editing.

Possibly The Truman Show is one of my favorite Jim Carry films.

Paranoia makes it a totally different film from the original and it is very appreciated. The complete change of the OST is a success, although there are some moments (where the bus stops) when the original music is heard over the top, which is why I lowered it to 9 stars.
The rest is perfect

my congratulations to Paulisdead2221

This is possibly the most ambitious edit out of the 30 or so that I've seen so far, and it really does succeed massively across the board. The music is so good at changing the mood of the movie, and mixed with the visual editing it makes the shots go from "funny, quirky reality tv show" to "nightmarish dystopia." I felt like I was watching a really cool Twilight Zone episode. It was that good.

NOW, just to be clear, this did not detract from my enjoyment(!) but someone else mentioned a few moments where the camera didn't narratively fit the theme. I've noted a few here, just for reference: (9:43) overhead view of a boat, (17:33) conversation with Mom, (31:46) panning, zooming camera that should have been black + white, (46:12) the camera couldn't exist from that angle, etc.
I want to make sure you don't take this the wrong way, because this is entirely subjective from my point of view. Just reviewing as an outside viewer who was slightly confused once in a while :)

That aside, this is such a great idea executed well! One of the coolest edits I've seen here, and will certainly inspire me to up my own game! Well done!
