Beautiful, Original, And Epic

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2009)

If I had to pick ten best movies from the 1990's, "The Truman Show" would definitely be on the list. Just when it seems like there are no more truly original movies to be made, "The Truman Show" blows me away.
After this movie came out, I think the thought that "this could be happening to me" momentarily passed through everyone's head at least once. It really shows how expertly this film was made.
I feel like I can say that without a doubt in my mind that this is the best Jim Carrey has ever been. I feel like he knew it as well. He was absolutely perfect with his mix of seriousness and humor.
So much felt epic with this film. Remember the feeling when the show's director ordered to "cue the sun"? Or during the beautiful, final scene when Truman's sailboat hits the painted wall and then Truman talks to the director and leaves? It is all very large and epic feeling.
If you have not seen "The Truman Show" then this needs to be next on your list.
