A New Dimension In Movie Entertainment

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2005)

THE TRUMAN SHOW ***** Thought-provoking, touching, intellectual story formed into a memorable motion picture. Its unique craftsmanship takes on a new dimension in movie entertainment. Jim Carrey is Truman Burbank, an assurance salesman who lives inside of a world that seems questionable. As the story unfolds, several strange occurrences leads Truman to question the normality (or lack thereof) of his life he believed once made sense. This wonder intensifies as the film continues to follow Truman's adventurous search for the answer, the truth, the meaning of his life. Little did Truman know that his entire life was secretly filmed, and watched hour by hour and day to day by an engrossed world. This is a motion picture that especially showcases Peter Weir's ability as a director. Jim Carrey gives an eminently exceptional performance in the leading role. The film's frequent transition from clever comedy to inspiring drama is pulled off without affecting the excellence of its originality.
