A real achievement for everyone who worked on it

Rating: Null/10 (5 March 2008)

The Truman Show is one of those movies that succeeds in many areas where most movies fail horribly. One it makes a a very ambitious story seem very real and thats mostly due to the fine acting (Carrey, and Harris giving the best performances of their careers). Two, Peter Weir and his fantastic direction ables to give this film an uneasy feeling, which is why it is probably really hard to give this movie a genre. The movie succeeds on giving the right amount of comedy, drama, eeriness, and romance, and doesn't seem to over due anything. The Comedy mostly stays between Carrey and Linney who give great chemistry and seem liked the really hated each other. The Drama is not in your face but it is extremely effective as some of the scenes in this movie are the most moving scenes I have ever seen on film (The Scene when Truman meets his dad and everyone is watching, and the last 5 mins get me every time.) The Eeriness mostly stays with its Twilight Zone Plot, and this uneasy feeling of how much the media can do, ecspicially now in these times when reality T.V rains supreme. The Romance might drag the story a little but it still is a good part of the story, it still gives the classic notion that you can meet someone only for 5 mins and want to spend the rest of your life with them. All in All Truman is good to watch, I still watch it every time its on T.V. and it still effects me in way that few movies have.
