The Truman Show

Have you ever felt like you were being watched? Like your life was possibly a TV show? Well, Truman Burbank never did and this movie tells the story of how he found out that his life actually WAS a TV show. Truman is an ordinary guy who has a family, job and whose life is not special at all. Or so he thinks. The truth is that Truman is the star of the world known TV show: The Truman Show whose everyday life is watched by milions of people from all around the world! His life is a lie and he has no idea. We get to see him go through various live decisions and choices, including the biggest one- the choice whether he will stay in the world that has been created for him and is safe or whether he will leave and start living the real life on his own. The last scene is epic, it brought tears to my eyes..

The acting performances are amongst the best I've ever seen. Jim Carey is brilliant as Truman, effortlessly conveying his personality, fear and desire. Ed Harris (Christof) is excellent as the creator of the production. And the entire support cast seems synthetic enough to let the audience know they are "acting" for Truman but in some scenes let their "genuine" feelings shine through. The ensemble simply cannot be faulted.

I simply loved this movie. Everything about it. It is the one you just want to watch over and over again!! If you have not seen it yet, go and watch it!! It’s a must!

„The sweetness of it all will capture you. Truman's predicament will rivet you. The last scene will move you.“
