Jim Carrey's Stage.

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2015)

The Truman Show (1998): Dir: Peter Weir / Cast: Jim Carrey, Ed Harris, Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich, Natascha McElhone: Sensational film about a life in full view of society. It stars Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank whose life is an open book for anyone who wishes to watch. He is unaware of the hidden cameras that observe his every move since birth. Anyone who attempts to warn him of his peep hole existence thus sabotaging the show, are removed. Through space satellite program director Ed Harris has achieved the first fully televised human life. Everybody is an actor and Truman is gradually suspecting that something just isn't right. Triumphant masterpiece by director Peter Weir whose credits include Dead Poet's Society. Could Weir have predicted the influence his film would hail onto reality television? Filled with creative camera angles and art direction. Carrey delivers a sympathetic performance combined with comic wonder and bewilderment. He is the ultimate modern hero and champion. Harris is fantastic as creator Crissoff whose genius knows no limits until his creation challenges him. Laura Linney is bizarre as Truman's wife who speaks as if in commercials. Noah Emmerich plays his best friend who stocks bending machines. Natascha Mcelhone plays Sylvia who attempted to warn Truman of the reality of his lifestyle. The result is an intriguing parallel of celebrity life. Score: 10 / 10
