A short review of the movie including the satirical evidences that are in the film

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2014)

The movie "The Truman Show" is a satire about media and how self absorbed people get in it and how much it can become their entire life. Truman the star of this film is a literal example of this. Trumans life is a reality show. Everything about him, and everything he does gets broad casted to the entire world. Becoming peoples topic of obsession. The people who watch the show follow it habitually. The purpose of this movie is to target the entertainment industry and show them how ridiculous they are getting. It inflates the overall obsession of people to this show, to reveal that people do this regularly without thinking about it and without realizing how deep their obsession runs. This movie is still pertinent today because no matter how crazy it seems the way people follow TV shows has gotten worse. To where they follow them almost religiously. We have so many shows that are like this it is a major feat to count how many there are. TV has become an addiction worse than any drug and no one really realizes how bad it is until something like "The Truman Show" comes around and throws it in your face and says 'you're gonna take this and you're gonna enjoy it'.
