A great satirical look on society and the media

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2016)

Truman lives in a perfectly perfect town called Seahaven, or so that is what he has been told his whole life. In reality, Truman is living in a large TV studio, and has been since birth. Everyone else knows this except for him. Tiny cameras are placed all around the town, filming his every move of every day. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year, this footage is live streamed on TV as "The Truman Show". But what happens when Truman begins to notice that everything in his perfect town, is just a little bit too perfect, and a little bit too repetitive?
The Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey, uses satirical elements to comment on actual society. Connotation is used throughout dialogue to inflict the fake and awkward feelings on the "citizens" of the town. The way they speak makes you feel annoyed with the situation instead of being in support of it like most characters in the movie. The movie targets Americans as a whole in a comedic and ironic way. Overall the movie comments on the way society is so attached to media, and that in some ways it completely controls American's lives.
