A very, very, entertaining premise

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2012)

Every once in a while, a movie comes along that challenges every aspect of routine filmmaking. A movie which has never been done before. The Truman Show is one such movie. The whole concept of Truman Burbank (which I will not spoil for you guys) is without a doubt an idea that I never saw before in a film. Jim Carrey who plays him is at his very best. We all know him as a really big comedy star, but there's a reason he's in the business he's in. Dude is a great actor. Ed Harris is fantastic in a supporting role which more or less is pivotal to the entire story and the sets built are magical. The movie itself is magical, the best film of 1998, one of the best of the decade, Peter Weir's best film, and a perennial classic that will hit on many issues.
