there is something magical to the moment when a paradigm collapses and a new reality is set. i began to think about this when i saw the last scene of the truman show. truman reaches the end of the dome, opens the door in the sky and disappears on the other side. i think it’s a very poetic and surrealistic picture, just beautiful. so i spent an afternoon, checking my film library to find some similar scenes, mostly in the science fiction pictures. this collection shows how this moment of revelation and transition is visualized in some of my favorite movies.
