A Wonderful, Hilarious Movie!

Rating: 9/10 (14 September 2015)

The Truman Show is a hilarious satirical film starring Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank. In the movie, Truman's life, although Truman is not aware, is actually a television show which is being filmed in the giant dome that he lives in where everyone is an actor and everything is part of a set. Throughout the whole movie, Truman becomes more and more suspicious that something is going on and he tries to find out what it is. Besides being funny, The Truman Show pokes light-hearted fun at society and while the movie was released in 1988, the satire is still very pertinent today. In the movie, it is clear how The Truman Show captivates the world to the point where it is all the people can focus on. This targets not just people from the past, but our own society today. The ongoing question throughout the movie is: Will Truman find his way out? Shouldn't he get to have a choice whether he stays or leaves? That is what makes the Truman Show so enthralling. A light hearted comedy with still some more thought-provoking themes, The Truman Show is definitely worth a watch.
