Truly awesome

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2008)

When I look at films, as a amateur photographer and cameraman myself, I love to look at the photography of a film, the way a sequence of well chosen shots have made the movie for me.
But in The Truman Show it is not the photography that stands out, OK there's the vignetting of the shots to show that you are watching from a hidden camera, but what makes the film really stand out is the concept. This film is conceptually brilliant, and Jim Carey brings it to life.
The Truman Show brings together philosophical meaning, a bit of fun and of course that love interest, in a way that just works.
