Rating: 7/10 (13 September 2016)

The Truman Show is an intriguing cinematic experience that delves deep into the ethics of human rights and free thought in a semi-comedic way. The film follows the story of a man named Truman Burbank, an insurance sales representative who has a normal life. We soon learn, however, that Truman is the most famous man in the world, without even his knowledge. Truman lives on the sunny island of Seahaven, a man- made island rigged with cameras that are broadcasting live 24-7 to a TV audience. Every person in Truman's life is an actor paid to record him and to create good television. This movie seems to be a satiric commentary on several things, specifically the control and influence that the media has on our society. Throughout the movie there are various product placements and references to things the consumers of the show will see. It was also a satire over the treatment of zoo animals and prisoners, as well as the control the Government puts on our lives. Truman is completely controlled, and although he is treated fairly, he lacks free choice. He only has the illusion of free choice, which many believe to be a God-given right to men. The Truman Show was a well executed film, I would highly recommend this movie.
