Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2005)

"The Truman Show" is about Truman Burbank who lives in a created world called Seahaven; everything is faked and controlled by the producer Christof. Truman's life is broadcasted live in every detail by thousands of cameras. Until he is 30 years old he doesn't recognize that his whole life is a lie, but after some time he gets suspicious and he tries to get out of his world. Jim Carrey, who plays the main character Truman, acts in a crazy way and gives the film a special funny touch which makes it even better. In contrast to Truman the other characters are acting more seriously which is an advantage for the film because if everyone acts in Carrey’s funny way , the film would have another effect to the viewer. In Making the film the director draw peoples’ attention to the present problems caused by TV and Reality Shows.
