Spooky

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2005)

Whether this film, Man on the Moon, or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the better film is your decision. But, you cannot deny that The Truman Show is one of the better movies of the 1990s.
A giant studio made to mimic a town is built for just one man and just one show. A weirdo that has some dream of some controlling every aspect of one man's life. A weird nerd that is loved by all, played of course by Jim Carrey. This film has EVERYTHING! What more could you ask for? Sure, some of the things that Christof says can get annoying, and Carrey isn't doing a super-serious roll But who cares!? It's just fun.
What isn't fun is the weird feeling you get watching this movie. You know, that "The Matrix" feel. As you watch, you start to wonder "Could this happen to me? Is this happening to me? How would I know?" It really adds some flare to the story.
