Description

He's the star of the show--but he doesn't know. Jim Carrey wowed critics and audiences alike as unwitting Truman Burbank in this marvel of a movie from director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society) about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realize that his quaint hometown is a giant studio set run by a visionary producer/director/creator (Ed Harris), that folks living and working there are Hollywood actors, that even his incessantly bubbly wife is a contract player. Gradually, Truman gets wise. And what he does about his discovery will have you laughing, crying and cheering like few film stories ever have.

    This is not the first or last film on the intersection of Utopia Dystopia but an entertaining engaging allegory that may be ahead of its time...

    This film has more flaws than positives , mainly the fact that you fall asleep watching it. That was the slowest 1 hour and a half of my life.

    This is a great film, with a great story line. While getting dated now, it's a must see for any reality tv viewers, it demonstrates how obsessed we are in watching other peoples lives but seemingly ignoring our own.
  • Simply one of the best

    I can't praise this film highly enough. I think it is a rare masterpiece and it ought to live on for a long time. I genuinely can't think of any aspect of it I would mprove! The entire cast, spearheaded by Jim Carrey's brilliant, sensitive portrayal of Truman, were all perfectly suited to their roles. Not to mention the awe-inspiring soundtrack, which really helps to tell this tale very well indeed. And the ending - props to a movie that know when and how to end. Gives me goosebumps everytime. Superb.
