Is it too realistic?

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2006)

Jim Carrey does an immaculate job of actually playing a serious role. The problem is that Jim has played so many comedies that a semi-sweet role isn't really approved by the common public. In my opinion he is still very funny and plays Truman very well. The question for The Truman Show isn't did Jim Carrey play his role well or not, rather, it be is the satire to this film too realistic to how American minds think. The director Peter Weir does a very good job making fun of us. He shows through comedy, triumph, and weakness how to advertise. The way that Weir makes fun of reality TV makes all Americans look like cruel idiots. The Truman Network that people watch almost 24/7, is pop culture at its weakest. This is saying right there that we are sort of interdependent to it. Also it proves Foreign countries opinion that Americans are lazy by showing people of all ages watching The Truman Show. Overall Jim Carrey and the rest of the cast does an amazing Job of portraying the fairytale life of Truman
