Hello and welcome to episode five of True Talk, a companion podcast to the film the Truman show.

大家好，歡迎來到 True Talk 第五集，這是電影 Truman show 的配套podcast。

情態副詞

This episode is probably the one that veers the most off from the actual text of the film and into the realms of speculation.

這一集大概是最偏離電影實際內容，進入推測領域的一集了。

But it, it gathers together my experience of my changing experience of this film over having watched it regularly since I was about 10 years old.

但它，它匯集了我從大約 10 歲開始定期觀看這部電影以來，不斷變化的觀影體驗。

I am now, as at time of recording, 31 years old and I've watched this movie probably 50, 50 plus times.

我現在，在錄音時是 31 歲，我probably 看了這部電影 50，50 次以上。

I've probably, to be honest, overdone it and.

說實話，我可能有點看得太多了，然後。

And after this I need to take a break and maybe not watch it for a few years.

在這之後，我需要休息一下，也許幾年都不看它了。

But over that time my interpretation of it, my enjoyment of it and of different aspects of it have have drastically changed.

但在這段時間裡，我對它的詮釋、我的喜愛以及它不同方面的細微之處都有了巨大的改變。

The Truman show is about Truman finally figuring out a grand conspiracy, that his life is a fabrication and that everyone he knows is an actor.

Truman show 講述的是 Truman 終於發現了一個巨大的陰謀，他的生活是虛構的，而他認識的每個人都是演員。

Over the 20 years I've been a fan of this film, my perspective on this topic has shifted, ultimately taking me to a reading that dramatically recontextualizes the film.

在我當這部電影粉絲的這二十年裡，我對這個主題的看法已經轉變，最終讓我有了對這部電影有著戲劇性重新脈絡化的解讀。

There are many moments throughout the film where little nuances in performance, facial expressions or single words are used to distract, conceal the truth, avoid something or draw attention.

電影中有許多時刻，表演、面部表情或單詞中的細微之處被用來分散注意力、隱藏真相、迴避某事或吸引注意。

One amazing way to watch this film is to actively imagine it as a kind of spy or detective flick where everyone is in on the secret, but

觀看這部電影一個很棒的方式是，主動想像它就像一部間諜片或偵探片，每個人都知道這個祕密，但

How much does Truman know when and what sets him off?

Truman 什麼時候知道多少？又是什麼讓他爆發？

The obvious inciting incident is the crash down of a studio light in the street outside Truman's house right at the beginning of the film.

導火線事件是電影開頭，一盞攝影棚燈掉落在 Truman 家外面的街道上。

This is actually a part of the story that was always there, that's been there since the very first draft of the script.

這其實是故事中一直存在的一部分，從劇本的第一稿就一直存在了。

It's positioned as the first of several weird things that caused Truman to question his reality.

它被設定為讓 Truman 開始質疑現實的幾件怪事中的第一件。

And it's no accident that the light is labeled Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky and one traditionally associated with guiding travelers.

而那盞燈被標記為天狼星，這絕非偶然，天狼星是夜空中最亮的星星，傳統上也與指引旅人有關。

Thus begins Truman's own journey of discovery and the beginning of a reactionary phase for the cast and crew of his life as they scramble to make excuses and cover things up.

於是，Truman 的自我發現之旅就此展開，同時也開啟了他生命中工作人員的反應階段，他們忙著找藉口、掩蓋真相。

Classical Clive is the first up lying on the radio about a damaged airplane.

Classical Clive 是第一個在廣播裡撒謊，說飛機損壞了。

There are lots of moments in the film where the dynamic changes and where members of the cast give themselves away.

電影裡有很多時刻，動態關係會改變，工作人員也會不小心露出破綻。

Some obvious, some more open to interpretation.

有些很明顯，有些則比較開放給人詮釋。

This isn't entirely comprehensive, but I'm going to go through a list.

這不是完全詳盡的，但我會列出一些。

The twins, Ron and Don, and their very noticeable product placement.

雙胞胎 Ron 和 Don，以及他們非常明顯的產品置入。

還有你的「可愛的妻子」過得怎麼樣？

The ticket guy at the crossing watching Truman to see if he'll actually get on the boat.

過馬路的票務人員在觀察 Truman，看他到底會不會上船。

Basically, anytime Meryl advertises a product and does her advertising voice.

基本上，任何時候 Meryl 都在推銷產品並用她的廣告腔調。

Why don't you let me fix you some of this new mo Coco drink.

你們要不要我幫你們弄點這個新的 mo Coco 飲料？

The rain sequence where rain selectively falls on Truman for a little bit before the rest of it catches up.

那段下雨的場景，雨點選擇性地落在 Truman 身上一小段時間，然後才開始下給其他人。

Lots of moments in the high school flashback.

像是「結局會怎樣？」之類的事情。

Pin Sylvia not knowing her name, saying that she's not knowing Japanese, saying that she can't talk to him, Sylvia's fake dad.

Pin Sylvia 不知道自己的名字，說她不懂日語，說她不能跟他講話， Sylvia 的假爸爸。

The radio malfunction on his way to work.

The awakening scene with the, you know, iconic music from Dalvitz, with the elevator, green room and the traffic and Truman starting to feel like he can control things.

覺醒的場景，搭配達爾維茲標誌性的音樂，電梯、休息室和車流，以及杜魯門開始感覺自己能掌控一切。

Characters checking their watches, repeated movements, or not responding to Truman in normal ways.

人物們看手錶、重複的動作，或者沒有以正常方式回應杜魯門。

His mother being pushy with photo albums to try and, you know, seemingly try and take him off the scent of doctored photos.

他的母親催促著相簿，試圖，你知道，看似想讓他打消對偽造照片的懷疑。

The travel agent still having her makeup cloth on.

The little girl on the bus, pointing at Truman and saying, is that you know who?

公車上的小女孩指著杜魯門說，你認識他嗎？

The police officer using his first name at the power plant.

And then the kind of police officer in the next scene leaning, in which I've mentioned, kind of trying to get a peek of the celebrity.

然後是下一幕的警官，我之前提過，他靠在那裡，試圖偷看這位名人。

Obviously, the moment where he's hassling Meryl and she calls out and addresses the crew, do something.

顯然，就是他糾纏梅莉爾，然後她呼叫工作人員，要他們做點什麼的那一刻。

And in the heart wrenching Marlon scene where he says he would never lie to him.

然後是令人心碎的馬龍場景，他說他絕不會對他撒謊。

That look, that look that Jim Carrey gives in that moment, there is a moment that feels to me at least, like recognition.

那個眼神，吉姆·凱瑞在那一刻給出的那個眼神，至少對我來說，有一個瞬間感覺像是認出了什麼。

His eyes lift slightly, then he turns to Marlon with this kind of horror.

他的眼睛微微抬起，然後他帶著一種恐懼轉向馬龍。

The beauty of it, of course, is that it's ambiguous, but

當然，它的美妙之處在於它是模糊不清的，但是

to me, it feels like in that moment, Truman realizes he can't trust Marlon to figure out how much Truman knows and when.

對我來說，感覺在那一刻，杜魯門意識到他無法信任馬龍來判斷杜魯門知道多少以及何時知道。

In the dramatic climax of the story, Truman tricks the cameras and escapes through a hole he has dug, leading from his basement to the front lawn.

在故事的戲劇性高潮中，杜魯門欺騙了攝影機，並從他挖的一個洞逃脫，這個洞從他的地下室通往前院。

And from there he makes it to the coast and steals a boat.

從那裡他到達海岸並偷了一艘船。

All of this happens off screen and by the time we catch up to him, he's already out to sea.

這一切都發生在螢幕之外，當我們再看到他時，他已經出海了。

I had probably watched this movie at least 10 times when on a rewatch, I noticed something that completely shook my understanding of Truman and the timeline of his escape.

我可能已經看過這部電影至少十次了，在一次重看時，我注意到了一件事，徹底顛覆了我對杜魯門和他逃亡時間線的理解。

After the scene at the dock, Meryl returns home to find Truman gardening.

在碼頭的場景之後，梅莉回到家，發現杜魯門正在園藝。

He's positioned on his knees, facing away from the camera, and doesn't stand up to meet her.

他跪著，背對鏡頭，沒有站起來迎接她。

She makes a joke about missing a spot and then leaves a Truman missed a spot, Chips.

她開玩笑說漏掉了一個地方，然後留下「杜魯門漏掉了一個地方，洋芋片」。

It's a short, harmless scene that illustrates their kind of lackluster marriage.

這是一個簡短、無傷大雅的場景，說明瞭他們那種平淡的婚姻。

I'd never thought much about it, although I had always found it kind of odd that we have this big shot of Jim Carrey's ass and he stays on the ground the whole time.

我從來沒仔細想過這件事，雖然我一直覺得有點奇怪，我們有一個 Jim Carrey 的大屁股鏡頭，而他全程都跪在地上。

We're not even 10 minutes into the movie, and Truman is executing his escape plan.

電影還沒到十分鐘，Truman 就已經在執行他的逃跑計畫了。

With this in mind, I think it's very safe to say Truman knows at least something about what's going on.

想到這裡，我認為可以很肯定地說，Truman 至少知道一些正在發生的事情。

He suspects things even if he hasn't had them confirmed.

即使沒有得到證實，他也會推測事情。

He suspects enough that to be planning his escape.

When you realize this, it kind of flips the table.

當你意識到這一點時，一切都顛覆了。

If you've read articles about the Truman show like I certainly have, you might have seen the protagonist described as unaware or oblivious.

如果你有看過關於 Truman show 的文章，就像我一樣，你可能會看到主角被描述成毫不知情或茫然。

The more I've watched this film, the more I've come to believe that Truman, from the very start, already knows more than they think he does.

我越看這部電影，就越相信 Truman 從一開始就知道的比他們想像的還多。

We see him attempt a few exploratory missions, testing his environment, seeing what he can get away with.

我們看到他嘗試了幾次探索性的任務，測試他的環境，看看他能逃脫什麼。

But also feeds them misinformation in a way.

但某種程度上也是在誤導他們。

After years of not knowing he was living on a stage, we watch Truman finally become a performer.

在不知道自己活在舞臺上多年後，我們看到 Truman 終於成為一名錶演者。

Nothing more beautifully conveys this than when, in the final moments of the film, he recites his catchphrase.

沒有什麼比電影最後的時刻，他唸出他的口頭禪更能美麗地傳達這一點了。

In case I don't see you, Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.

萬一我再也見不到你們，祝你們午安、晚安，還有夜安。

The look on his face in that moment is the look of a man who has played everyone.

他那一刻的表情，是一個玩弄了所有人的男人的表情。

Of course, no single reading of a film or piece of art should be treated as gospel.

當然，沒有任何一種解讀電影或藝術作品的方式應該被視為絕對真理。

The great thing about good art is that it can and should be interpreted differently by different people.

好的藝術之所以偉大，就在於它可以也應該被不同的人以不同的方式解讀。

A lot of what I'm reading into comes down to tiny nuances in performance.

我很多解讀都來自於表演中的細微之處。

Details that might be happy accidents or just unintentional.

這些細節可能是開心的巧合，或是無意的。

If they were intentional, they may have been injected at later stages in the process, such as the power of editing and post production.

如果它們是故意的，那可能是在後期製作階段加入的，像是剪輯和後製的力量。

They may not have been inventions of the director or of the writer.

它們可能不是導演或編劇的原創。

It's also entirely possible that I've watched this film too many times and I've overthought it.

也有完全可能是我這部電影看太多次，想太多了。

And my theories at this point are basically fan fiction.

我目前的理論基本上就是粉絲創作。

But I think, dear listener, that Truman knows what's going on before the film even starts.

但我認為，親愛的聽眾，Truman 在電影開始前就知道發生了什麼事。

Nowadays, when I watch the Truman Show, I delight in this level of detail and speculation that turns the whole movie on its head.

如今，當我觀看 Truman show 時，我樂於這種將整部電影顛覆的細節和推測。
