Originality At It Best

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 1999)

Who Are You?.... I'm Your Creator.... Then, Who Am I?.... You're The STAR. Those are one of the last lines of The Truman Show, and simply one of the best lines in the whole movie. Jim Carrey and Ed Harris takes us to an odyssey of moral issues; You can never think yourself as a God, because the more you believe it, the less your sons adore you. When I saw this film I was in the biggest state of awe i have ever been in a long time in a movie theater, I LOVE all the camera angles in every frame, the Director Photography must've had quite a lot headaches trying to satisfy Peter Weir demands, and in my opinion, deserves and Oscar, as well as the Editing, Art Direction, and Music. Not to mention the great performances by Ed Harris (who should've won the Oscar a long time ago) and Jim Carrey (the first time he actually attracts the audience not only by his jokes and charm but also by his heart). Many people disagree by the ending, the believe to be frivolous and incomplete, but I believe they are wrong, the whole movie IS THE TRUMAN SHOW, and after Truman leaves the set, THE SHOW IS OVER, that's the whole art of the issue, If we get to see him in the outside world, it would be some kind of sequel, not precisely THE SHOW. This is one of the most original movies of the 90s, anyone who adores the art of making movies out there as much as I do, don't miss it.
