Dreamy, thought provoking, and overall wonderful movie.

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2006)

This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Has possibly the most original and thought provoking themes that I have ever seen on film. At first glance, this movie seems sloppy, confusing, and a waste of time. But don't jump to conclusions! As you watch, you will find yourself growing more and more excited. This movie carries you like a dream, with great acting and imaginative writing. Anyone will fall in love with Truman, wishing the best for him, as he sets out to conquer the makers of the Truman show. As you find out how more and more people in Truman's life are fake, you will eventually wonder if you're watching a regular movie or someone's nightmare. Ed Harris is smooth as silk and cool as a cucumber as he plays the directorial genius, and at the same time, you will see little touches of a madman. I would not doubt it if someone starts out saying that the movie is dull, pointless and absolutely dumb, and finishes the film saying that it was the best movie they have ever seen. The acting is totally different than anything I have ever seen, and the directing has the Kubrick feeling. Truly amazing accomplishment in film.
