This line doesn't make sense


Christoph says Truman was born in front of a live audience, so he can die in front of one. However, earlier he says Truman was adopted by the studio and chosen out of five babies. What really happened?

reply

He also said a baby was chosen amongst a few where the birth was coinciding with the start date.

hE WAS ADOPTED WHILST IN THE WOMB. Easy.

reply

That line also means that all 5 mothers had their babies filmed in the womb... because the show didn't know which baby would arrive first.

reply

No, it doesn't.

Something in a womb is not yet a BABY, it's a FETUS.

for the line to make sense and to be truthful, they couldn't have done it that way - they would HAVE to have been born first.

Try again.

reply

They showed the birth of all 5 and then decided which one to keep. pretty straightforward. Heck, maybe they let the audience decide.
