Truman Burbank(Jim Carry) is the star of the famous reality program broadcasted live 24 hours a day all over the world.He lives in his own little town designed by the creator of the program Christof. This town(large movie set) was made as a good example of Christof's idea of the perfect world would be. Everyone in the town of Seahaven is an actor except for Truman himself and their job is to act like everyday town-folk and keep him away from the possible show-breaking truth. The closest people to him are his wife Meryl(Laura Linney) and his best friend Marlon(Noah Emmerich). One day an ex-show member Sylvia(Natascha McElhone) appeared and tries to tell him that "it's all fake", "none of its real, its all a show" etc so his wife and friend Marlon have to convince him otherwise. But he got curious and tries to escape and the creator tries to stop him but he insists on being free. Jim Carry's character is a little calmer and less crazy compared to movies such as Ace Ventura for example but makes up for it in other ways. This is a really good movie written by Andrew Niccol and directed by Peter Weir.
