All Of Life A TV Show?

Rating: 7/10 (5 December 2013)

Peter Weir directed this comedy-drama that stars Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank, a seemingly ordinary and happily married man who lives in a nice town, with a nice job and friends, but grows increasingly suspicious that something is off, and it turns out he's right, as Truman is unknowingly the star of the world's biggest reality TV show, where everything has been scripted since he was a baby, even his family. Once aware of this, Truman tries to find a way out, while the show's creator and director Christof(played by Ed Harris) tries to keep a lid on the situation... Existentialist film works reasonably well, though this idea had been explored before on "The Twilight Zone". Still, this is an interesting and thought-provoking film regardless.
