A masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2001)

This is the best movie I have ever seen. Only Peter Weir could have made it and he made it look brilliant. Peter Weir has made many movies in the past where his characters question the system, fight conformity, or deny the way people accept things in the world.
In this movie Truman denies the entire universe where he lives. He understands it is limited and fake. And in the end he moves beyond the fake horizon that has been created to keep him imprisoned. Christof in the movie represents a fake God. In fact the movie questions the entire concept of a personal God that manipulates the universe from above. If such God exists then he is cruel and sick like Christof in the movie. But can God be understood by the human mind? A lot can be said about this picture. I enjoyed the acting, direction and most of all its score. Kudos to Peter Weir for delivering this masterpiece.
