A Must Watch!

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2010)

Peter Weir's 'The Truman Show' is amongst the finest films I've seen. It's a trend-setter.... in terms of presentation and execution.
The film chronicles the life of a man who discovers he is living in a constructed reality soap opera, televised 24/7 to billions across the globe, known as 'The Truman Show'. Weir knew what he wanted to say through this film, his message comes across as a LOL first, but when you understand the film and it's meaning, you're left awe-struck. The film begins awkward, but sucks you into the plastic world 20-minutes into the film. The climax, is the high-point of the film, it's sad, and at the same time a Revelation. It's simply Magic!
Weir's direction is EPIC! Andrew Niccol's screenplay is beautiful. In the acting department, the film belongs to Ed Harris. The Veteran Actor is simply fantastic in a supporting role. Jim Carrey brings Truman alive. The actor, as always, is flawless. Laura Linney is superb in a extended appearance. Noah Emmerich is excellent. Natascha McElhone is effective. Paul Giamatti does a fine job.
'The Truman Show' is a must watch. His life is off-air now, re-visit the popular reality show once again, and know his legend. Two Enthusiastic Thumbs Up!
