Fantastic Idea, but poor execution.

Rating: 7/10 (15 April 2008)

There are just a few things which I feel that don't fit with the premise of the story. First of all, I feel that the musical score should reflect how Truman is feeling rather than the fictional characters who are viewing "The Truman Show". I also think that the part of the story, when Truman is unaware that he's on a TV show, should have been extended in length. I don't know the name of the lens where the viewer sees just a circle of the screen, but I don't think it should have been used. If the camera was positioned to make the viewer THINK something was wrong, but not be quite sure, I think it would have been better. I think that soley unique camera angles would produce an awesome effect (and a greater "Wha????" moment when we realize Truman is on a show). Overall, I think that if the film were done in a slightly more surreal manner rather than its current straightforward nature, it would be more interesting.
