| description | There are two interesting antecedents to the film The Truman Show. One of them is “Special Service”, an episode of the popular series The Twilight Zone. Andrew Niccol was inspired by it, respecting its core plot and multiplying its dramatic possibilities, with a different ending. The other antecedent is the Spanish short film “Te lo mereces”, made in 1996 by Felipe Jiménez Luna. An examination of these short films, which preceded The Truman Show, allows us to analyze Niccol-Weir’s classic from an angle of ethical-analytical interest. |

Existen dos antecedentes interesantes del film The Truman Show. Uno de ellos es «Special Service», un episodio de la popular serie The Twilight Zone. Andrew Niccol se inspiró en él respetando su núcleo argumental y multiplicando sus posibilidades dramáticas, con un final diferente. El otro antecedente es el cortometraje español "Te lo mereces", realizado en 1996 por Felipe Jiménez Luna. Un examen de estas piezas breves que precedieron en el tiempo a The Truman Show, permite analizar el clásico de Niccol-Weir desde un ángulo que presenta interés ético-analítico.
