One of the Best Stories Ever

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2016)

I was really surprised that The Truman Show didn't get more recognition back when it came out. This is one of the most original and best screenplays I've had the pleasure of watching! I have hard time describing this movie. Its not exactly a dram or a true comedy, but the feel has a little of both. There is a uniqueness to The Truman Show that everyone should enjoy. Peter Weir took the topic of the media and made his point without feeling forced. Weir's style fit perfectly with this kind story.
I don't understand how Jim Carey and Ed Harris didn't get more for their performances. Jim Carrey has been in plenty of over the top, slapstick roles, but this is not one of them. His humor came out subtly and perfectly. This is by far his best performance. Harris was also fantastic and played his villainous role well. How didn't these two get recognized back then?
The Truman Show is a phenomenal and extremely under-appreciated. No way around that. There is a fantastic story and meaning behind this, and it was presented perfectly. 9/10.
