Overall a Good Movie, Will Be Enjoyed by Most

Rating: 8/10 (13 September 2016)

The Truman Show is a wonderful work of satirical art that takes the viewer on a thought provoking journey the whole way through. Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) is the ideal man living in an ideal world. He has a wonderful desk job, a perfect home in a perfect neighborhood. But it is almost too ideal, and Truman soon starts to figure this out. Truman is also the star of the longest running television show to date. 10,000 plus days on live television, to be exact. His perfect world is full of actors, and he lives inside a large dome. But he doesn't know it. Yet.
The Truman Show provides a wonderful movie with fine details of satire, criticizing us for believing too much of what we hear in the media, and to avoid it because it is taking over our lives. Even though the movie was made in 1998, I believe it is even more relevant than it was back then, because now we have cell phones that keep us constantly connected. There are so many more controversial stories today, and because of that, you can't always believe what you hear.
The Truman Show is, overall, a good movie that provides a good instructional satire. I would recommend this to anyone who wants something to watch something that they intend to learn from.
