Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Awesome Movie
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The Truman Show is Jim Carrey as you have never seen him before. This is straight out of The Twilight Zone(in fact writer Andrew Nicchol based the screenplay on an episode of The Twilight Zone. Jim Carrey plays an insurance salesman who has no idea that his entire life is scripted and part of a television show. This is a departure of sorts for Peter Weir also and though I have forgotten much of this film I remember liking it a lot. There are many underlying themes and the entire presentation is something you don't see often. This is a healthy recommendation regardless of whether you are a fan of Carrey or not.
This movie answer the question ,what is a good movie?
I think it is a really good movie because it is really inspirational and I think it is one of my favoutite movie
The themes are 1) how far is one prepared to go to break out of one's world view, and 2) what are the boundaries of broadcast sensibilities for an audience seeking the truth. The Truman Show is fabulously thought provoking and prescient of a future celebrity culture. Jim Carey is well cast and the film has expert direction from auteur Peter Weir.
