Fantastic film, so much deeper than people give it credit for

Rating: 9/10 (24 October 2002)

i feel that the degrading review on the page for this film is disgusting. this film is a tremendous achievement with governmental undertones to rival the matrix and one flew over the cuckoo's nest. in my opinion i think that the film is trying to tell us that whatever we do, wherever we are, we are all in some way being watched by someone or something. we aren't as free as people tell us and there are boundaries all around us, just like Truman's world. Truman is told what to do, who to be and where to go through the people around him, to make good television, just like the public are told the same things through the media and through government. i think if you look closer than the exterior of this film, the viewer can find a much more interesting concept than just a story of a guy stuck in a TV show
