First 'adult' movie scene

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 2013)

A few years ago my mum bought me The Truman Show for my birthday and told me I'd really like it. It was the first proper 'adult' movie I'd ever seen (being only about nine) and I was a bit skeptical, but the story line intrigued me so I gave it a go and loved it! Truman's character is truly suited to Carrey's acting style, a seemingly effortless portrayal is pulled off which gets the audience laughing and crying along with him. A must see movie for anyone of any age. Peter Weir made it the perfect balance of funny, disturbing, heart-breaking and hopeful, and Carrey's portrayal of Burbank is phenomenal. The concept was one that had not been explored very much before the movie came out, and is one that has intrigued people and made us all wonder about our very existence, with other TV shows and movies adopting a similar concept and doing well. A great family movie. I possess the Great Directors Collection edition, which really goes to show how much Weir is admired for his direction of the movie and how it will be watched and remembered for many years to come by the old and the young alike.
