I didn't think I would like the Truman Show. I was expecting Jim Carrey over the top humour and contorted faces. I was wrong. Really wrong! The Truman Show is the epitome of "reality shows" (and hopefully our own reality shows will never go as far). Truman grows up as the unknowing star of his own reality show. Everything is television, and nothing is real-- even though it's real to Truman. Jim Carrey is brilliant as Truman, and Ed Harris plays the steely and yet passionate producer/director/'god' watching over Truman. I liked this movie because it really showed off some of the uglier parts of what television can be, but also made distinct that the beautiful parts of our lives, like love, are real no matter what. Give this movie a shot. It's dramatic and moving and funny, and NOT you typical Jim Carrey film. Yay!
What a great movie. Jim Carey is amazing. Usually just good in a purely comedic role Carey shines in this more serious role. Still at the same time there are many instances of his comedic brilliance shining through. "Good morning! And in case I don't see you..good afternoon, good evening, and good night." I strongly recommend this movie.
I did not really like the movie that much because I find it a bit eccentric, but I watched the movie a long time ago and I thought I would see it again. I did not like the movie, but I did like my transaction on Ebay which was awesome, the sellers were very prompt in delivering my items. Thank you very much.
This movie is a must for anyone traveling to Destin, Panama City, Fl and most importantly SEASIDE and colors. Seaside, Fl was built because of this movie and is still one of the most sought after properties in the area.
Truman is the most famous person in human history. He was born on television and his whole world was created just for the show. All of the people in his life are actors. He doesn't know that his life is fake but things are starting to fall apart. When will he realize what is happening? I don't always like Jim Carey movie but this is one of his better performances. Ed Harris does a great job as the director of Truman's world. This is worth the time to watch.
