True experience

The Truman Show is definitely Jim Carrey's best performance. The idea was brilliant too but the implementation was more brilliant! And there were some really great acting, which is really worth to watch: Ed Harris who played Cristof, the creator, and the others who were playing their part in that fake world, with all those fake smiles, bedded tv commercials, monotonous daily routines. I believe that what happened with Truman, what they did to him was really cruel, imagine you that you find out that everything around you is false, pretended by actors/actresses all the time, everything is arranged. How would you feel? It would be like the end of the world. End of a fake world, end of a wasted lifetime... I recommend it! This is a big must-see film! You'll know what I'm talkin about!...Read more

Dystopian Future

In modern society many of our actions are manipulated, manipulated by corporations to affect our daily routine. This compares exactly to the issues touched upon in Peter Wier’s “The Truman Show”. In which we are shown a glimpse of our possible near future that could come to pass if television obsession trend continue. The television show, and its self devoted channel, set up in the film (entitled the Truman Show) displays the extremes of reality programming with many acts of control made against the subject whose reality we are peering into. This subject is the character of Truman Burbank played by Jim Carey. These topics make the viewer question the intentions of corporations and companies that affect their own lives, which of course is director Peter Wier’s true intention of the ...Read more

This film is fantastic entertainment. It was the first time I realised what a fantastic actor Jim Carrey is underneath all the non-stop clowning. The plot to me is entirely feasible. As humanity becomes more obsessed with celebrity and reality tv show culture, I can't think why this would not happen in the not-so-distant future. The Truman Show follows Truman Burbank - his entire life since birth has been scripted and filmed inside a colossal film studio that encompasses his every need. Obviously Truman does not know this until eventually, seeds of doubt are planted into his own mind thanks to hilarious mistakes from the cast and crew as well as his own unscripted love for an extra that he experienced many years ago. It's also a fantastic performance from Ed Harris who portrays the impa...Read more
