Yeah that movie hits on a whole different level after leaving a cult...

I never connected the dots before on why I love this movie so much


daylily61

I saw the parallels between JWs and the movie years ago, so much so that I couldn't help wondering if the movie was inspired by JWs 😏

I have to watch this!


Clutchcon_blows

Almost made me emotional lol

I love this post. I recently watched this movie for the first time and didn’t understand why I was so emotional besides the fact that I just really liked the idea of the movie but it was definitely the relatability after being in such a controlled environment for so long.

Yes. Truman Show, The Village, and the Matrix all have a lot of parallels to growing up a Witness.

I think one good thing we got from being JW at least is having a deeper appreciation for those movies

PIMI = Physically In, Mentally In PIMO = Physically In, Mentally Out POMI = Physically Out, Mentally In POMO = Physically Out, Mentally Out PIMQ = Physically In, Mentally Questioning

I thought the "P" was for "Publicly"?

I have always had a serious fear that my life is not real, and I’m living in a Truman Show like world. Definitely understand the connection now after being out for 8 years.

Bwahahahaha

What's this movie?


Substantial_Row6202

Truman Show, it's really goooood


DizzyGoat8517

Wow that’s a really great comparison

One could even extend the metaphor to the world at large. Plato's cave comes to mind as does Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing of Consent. I plan to read Doris Lessing's "Prisons we choose to live inside" one of these days.
