The Truman Show: Pause 39 minutes and 19 seconds to watch with a bowl of hot chocolate

When an Easter egg hunter goes hunting, he often sets out to explore the galactic frontiers of Star Wars, the paths of Middle-earth, the countless dimensions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or the enchanted landscapes of Disney classics. But even if it is true that some oceans are more abundant than others, it would be a shame never to cast the net in the less frequented waters.

A movie full of easter eggs

For example, we recommend checking out The Truman Show, a dystopian comedy-drama directed by Peter Weir and starring Jim Carrey. Indeed, you probably didn’t suspect it, but this excellent feature film (rated 4.3 out of 5 by aloCiné viewers) contains a lot of winks.

• Mission Cleopatra: pause at 38 minutes and 1 second, no one noticed this little detail

Hundreds of hidden cameras everywhere, a travel agent just back from his lunch break, a technician looking for work, or a radio station from royalty… Truman’s world is a veritable goldmine when it comes to Easter eggs.

A little vitamin D?

But today let’s focus on a very specific detail that is presented on the breakfast table that the main character is eating. If you press pause at 39 minutes and 19 seconds into the movie and look to the left of the chocolate bowl, you’ll see a medicine bottle that deserves your full attention.

As you can see by reading the label on the vial, it contains 1000 milligram capsules of…Vitamin D! And there’s a great reason for that.

Even if he doesn’t know it at the moment, Truman spends his days locked away in a huge artificial television studio, cut off from the light of day. However, we know that people with less sun exposure can develop vitamin D deficiency, so it’s no surprise that production encourages them to eat it every day.
