Great Movie, Loved the Concept

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2016)

In this movie, Truman Burbank, played by Jim Carrey, is living a fake life; however, this is ironic because he has no idea that it is fake. I thought this was a great idea for a movie, because he is living in a studio with hidden cameras everywhere and everyone around him are actors playing their role while Truman has no idea. The Truman Show has everyone around the world watching. Truman thinks he is a normal man living a normal life and he has no idea that he is being filmed. This film can be seen as a satire because they are targeting the falseness of modern entertainment. Truman simply lives his life but just like the popular TV shows, Survivor or Big Brother, everything on set is fake. Since the power of media is so strong, the audience of The Truman Show or a show like Survivor think that everything is real. This movie is trying to show us how fake modern entertainment can actually be but the power of the media makes us think it is real. The whole time I watched the movie, I wanted Truman to break free of this false media. I never thought he would until one day, Truman finds out something is wrong. What will he do?
