it would be just like a corporation to do this to someone

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2005)

Truman Burbank's (Jim Carrey) life is a TV show. Nothing about his idyllic small town is real, but rather created for him to live in. And he doesn't know about any of it, because a cabal of slimy people have successfully kept him there his whole life. Until one day when he starts to get suspicious that there's something going on.
The movie not only shows the corporation completely manipulating someone's life, but might also be interpreted as a metaphor for being a prisoner of TV. I've never seen a Peter Weir movie that I didn't like, and "The Truman Show" further backs that up. This movie really deserved an Oscar.
