The Truman Show Film Critique
Easily one of the greatest thought out movies of all time, The Truman Show will forever have me wondering if my life is all staged since everything in my life seems to happen at the worse time like it was planned out. Released in 1998, The Truman Show gives Jim Carrey his first chance to act in a serious role throughout parts of the movie while also allowing him to stay true to his signature role of a comedian. Surprisingly, Carrey plays one of the best roles of his career in this entertaining movie. The writer, Peter Weir, does an excellent job making this movie seem like a TV show in the world today. They talk about how Truman was born on live television showing the devoted fans that have pretty much grown up watching Truman himself grow up.
The supporting cast in the movie is filled with familiar names that do a great job in their individual roles. The one thing that still gets to today about this movie will always be the question to my own self asking if this is a biography about my life and that I am the one on a television show. This is one movie that I must own a copy of and I suggest that everyone else do the game. This is easily a top 100 greatest movie of all time.
