Movie Review

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2016)

The Truman's Show is a rare gem of the 90's. It is very different from the movies that we usually see. Normally in movies, actors know that they are acting while following a script. While technically, this movie may be called as one of them, but the story itself is dramatically ironic. The movie starts a bit slow and boring at first but gradually draws interest of the viewer after interval.
In this movie, Jim Carrey playing as "Truman Burbank" oblivious of his star identity, lives a normal life in a confined set created by the producer of The Truman's Show. Right from the birth Truman finds himself in the artificial world with artificial people without realising that he is actually acting on 24*7 show broadcasted live featuring him as the star. His every action, every moment was recorded on camera. However, lately he falls in love with her mate Sylvia in college. Owing to love, she tries to aware Truman of the reality by taking him away to a far stretch of land not seen by camera. Was she able to unravel the truth? What about the troubles that you apprehend? Did she save him? I am not going to tell the entire story now. Just know that "love triumphs all" and watch the movie yourself.
The film tries to discover convergence between reality vs drama and marvells at its attempt. Although I feel that a better plot with could have done justice with the overall concept of the movie. The movie yearns for lost comedy and songs. I recommend this movie to the audience because its one of a kind but with a disclaimer to be prepared to get bored for most of it.
