"Life is fragile."

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 1998)

The movie is not the typical Jim Carrey comedy. It is a light drama with humor. It satisfies any reason you have as to why do you watch a movie...for enjoyment, entertainment, to make you think, to draw a moral lesson. Yes, some of the inspiring thoughts of the movie were : "You have to conquer your fears." and "Never give up."
Jim Carrey gave justice in his portrayal of the lead character. Actually, I haven't seen any write up about this but personally, I think Truman was a variation of "true human", the image Christof wants Truman to be. And his last name was taken from the city in California that is near Hollywood.
Anyway, the concept is unique. But, the thought of Truman was being watched by millions of viewers and the crew in Christof's world, we as the movie viewers watch Truman also. Just like Truman's audience, I, myself, became attached to his character as I shed a tear in the movie's ending. I became involved in the storyline that when I went out of the movie house, I feel like I was being watched myself.
But then, after the show, I went out to "find more other things to watch."
