Superb acting, directing, and filming.

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 1999)

I would say that The Truman Show is one of the best movies come out of Hollywood in a long time. In a day when most Hollywood companies are sinking to crude sex and action scenes, here is a film that will make you think. Of course I'm sure everybody by now knows the plot, so I won't describe it in detail, but I will discuss. Peter Weir wrote and directed this film, and I'm beginning to think he could be a new person in a new line of directors, because many of his films have been just like that. The concept of putting an unwanted baby into a show filled with perhaps thousands of actors and hundreds of product placements is something I have never heard of before. If you wonder how Truman Burbank as he is called could be so gullible, you're doing the same thing everyday. Just refer to Cristof's line in his interview in the middle, after Truman met his father. He said that "we accept the reality of the world in which we live. It's as simple as that." It really is as simple as that.
