Just Watched This Again After All These Years

Rating: 9/10 (3 May 2014)

Wow, what a movie! I love this movie today even more than I did the first time. It hasn't lost anything as time has passed.
I recall watching Hitchcock's Vertigo with a movie audience several years ago and when Jimmy Stewart explains to Kim Novak how he wants her to dress and wear her hair he ends with this justification, "It can't possibly matter to you!" The entire audience burst out laughing.
This movie is as fresh and modern as it was in 1999 (not as old as Vertigo, I know). I love the reactions of those watching the show - how invested they are and how much they all love Truman. And Jim Carey is wonderful. Ed Harris, too, as Christoph (a reference to Christo, perhaps? There is a line about an umbrella, picked up in a windstorm, injuring someone) is brilliant, too.
