Reviews
Perfect cast and a good story
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This movie answer the question ,what is a good movie?
I have never been a fan of reality TV. On television real emotions and real behaviour is not possible. You can only be real to an extent because you know that the whole world is watching you. In Truman Show ; Truman is unaware and hence he is real. Jim Carrey gives a fantastic performance. Ed harris looks fantastic and acts very well. The film is a thinking man's film. It shows the human psyche of trying to go beyond boundaries. It is beautifully made film.
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.
This movie's concept is bizarre but it is extremely well-told with minimal plot holes. Its funny, its dramatic, and its extremely entertaining. Its hard to describe but if you haven't seen it then its time for you to watch it.
