Peter Wier masterpiece which belongs in top 250 IMDb

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2010)

An outstanding creation based on an extraordinary scenario, this title does not disappoint even for a second, is engaging, funny and mysterious at the same time. But most important "The Truman Show" is a film that launches a question shocking but completely necessary: Is the world we live in an illusion ? Are we treated with arrogance and are our rights violated?
Truman is a common individual, who works as an insurance salesman in town. He sincerely loves his wife, and always had a strange desire to go to Fiji, desire which never came to life.
What he doesn't know is that his entire existence is, in fact, a very popular reality-show, produced and directed by controversial figure Christoff. Truman's life experience was, so far, fake and distorted. Everything he does is caught on tape. His life is rendered with accuracy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Obviously, the television series was suggestively named "The Truman Show".
As time goes by, Truman begins to become suspicious.Step by step, he rebels and decides to claim his entitled right to freedom. Will he get out of the universe created by Christoff, or not? Watch Truman Show and you will find out.
I was particularly impressed by this movie. Peter Wier managed to render a masterly psychological and challenging experience in a concise way, simple and to the point, accessible to all. For that he deserves all the praise he can get because, as far as I'm concerned it is enormously difficult to express a profound message in a manner so classy and suggestive.
The acting was good enough, not great but still good. Jim Carrey did very well as Truman Burbank the central character of this title, not as well as he did in "Man on the Moon" for example, but still he was satisfactory, Ed Harris has exemplary shown Christoff's character and perspective, an eccentric genius willing to overlook any moral law in the name of television. Laura Linney did just fine as she was quite convincing in her very intriguing role, taking into account that she played a pretended wife, who played an actress, if you appreciate the irony.
To conclude, Truman Show is an impressive title, which can not let anyone indifferent because of it's spectacular scenario presented in such a suggestive, sometimes even hilarious, manner. I appreciate it as one of the best films of the last 50 years, and accordingly deserves a maximum ***** out of *****
