Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Movie

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2010)

This film is inspiring and captivating. Jim Carrey pulls off the performance of his career and was ignored for an Oscar nod. Ed Harris does a believable job as a man playing "God", and provides a very artistic air to his work as Christof. And Peter Weir leads both these men to act out a very touching and emotional story.
One of the most amazing things about this film is the elegant and abnormal camera angles/techniques that were used. Through this the audience believes that they are watching the TV show Truman is unknowingly starring in.
But most of all along with the excellent acting of Jim Carrey, the music really helped this film bring about its emotional core. The music really added another layer to the film's overall essence.
All-in-all "The Truman Show" is a story of exploration and desire--
Wanting to be so much more than just normal, Truman wishes to be removed from his mundane activities and turn his dreams into a reality...
