The Truman Show

“After being blown away by Fearless, I set out to see more of Peter Weir's work. Along the way I came across The Truman Show. After watching the film, I have nothing but praise for this film. The Truman Show is a truly dazzling and sophisticated satirical comedy drama on media omnipotence that benefits from fine direction and performances. Beautifully scripted by Andrew Niccol and flawlessly directed by Weir, the film is utterly captivating from the start right through to the truly poignant finale. Here Carrey plays Truman Burbank, the star of the world's most popular reality show. The catch is he doesn't know that. Truman believes he lives in Seahaven an island community that is somewhat idyllic, but in reality it is just a set housed in a studio with his friends and family as actors. This” read more

"The Truman Show (Peter Weir, 1998) "

“vi THE TRUMAN SHOW, segue o review: Truman show é um filme estrelado pelo Jim Carrey sobre um rapaz que vive em um mundo irreal e fictício onde ele é a única pessoa verdadeira sendo o restante dos personagens atores enquanto tudo em sua vida é transmitido em um canal de televisão, bom o Jim Carrey é um humorista e de primeira achei que seria um filme de comédia tonta como a maioria, mas nop é um filme sobre escapismo, evolução, liberdade e alguns temas filosóficos que são desenvolvidos ao longo da história, Truman é criado desde de bebê nessa realidade falsa o que faz com que ele desconfie de tudo apenas quando mais velho, quando começa a perceber as falhas da matrix, todo o filme gira em torno de Truman tentando fugir e driblar a matrix que vive, é ai onde mora as implic” read more

"Format: Streaming Viewing: 2nd (or 3rd) Thoughts: As much as I used to enjoy this film around the time it came out, the novelty of this Black Mirror, reality tv to the extreme kind of wears off a bit after repeated viewings. Maybe it was the pacing, maybe the serious tone, something just kept it from reaching that level of greatness. That being said, the movie does have its moments and Jim Carrey is great here. "

"Simplemente hermosa. Es de las películas con las que más me he sentido inmerso y su mensaje sobre la conformidad y la rutina junto con su uso de simbolismos es simplemente brillante. "
