Most Creative Movie I've Seen in a Long Time

Rating: 7/10 (10 September 2018)

I think that the Truman Show is very much a satire, and a relevant one at that. The purpose of the film is to criticize the entertainment industry, and the lengths they will go to for ratings. It is meant to target the makers and producers of reality TV trying to make them realize the error of their ways, as well as the damage they can do with their platform. There are countless examples of of reality TV shows that have gone horribly wrong. As well as several times where individuals in the entertainment industry have snapped from the pressure that producers, directors, and even co-stars impose on them on a daily basis. The audience however is for everyone because we as viewers can also contribute to the problem by supporting the show, and making the producers feel like they have to exploit their actors for more views and better ratings. It is interesting to see Truman's growth as a character develope in such a unique way. The Truman Show is funny, ironic, and wonderfully made, but it also continues to convey a deeper meaning that even the members of today's society can connect with.
