some docs out of the 'box'

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2014)

The Truman Show, this name is going to be historic forever, just because it is an attempt completely different, out of the box, unique. The moment you watch it, one is made to think "can such ideas be really crafted in a motion picture?" The director Peter Weir and writer Andrew Niccol must be specially praised for such a work.
Now don't overlook Jim Carry, he is a master man as always with Ed Harris' intense performance. This movie may also remind one about the story of a frog in a well who thinks that the well is everything, the whole world. Not like that but being a comedy it shows what might happen with such a life entrapped yet unaware of anything. At the same time we see the desire of freedom and lusty minds who seeks entertainment. It questions as to what do we prefer, humanity or false entertainment at any cost for momentary escape from reality in our life.
The film is certainly not preachy but makes one to think about various cobwebs that are and that may entrap us time to time. The thing that lacked in the movie are, as i felt, editing and cinematography. It was typical and simple. Some special things should have been done to provide complete impact to the viewer but i wonder if that would make the move more artificial. But still it could have been better in the part of sets and camera.
