The Truman Show - an original and innovative movie!

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2010)

The movie starts exactly at the point, when Truman begins to realize, that he's living in a constructed reality soap opera: A light of the artificial night sky falls down and nearly hits him. But also the spectator of the movie begins to wonder about the strange things that happen to Truman.
By and by, the spectator gets aware of the fact, that Truman's life is filmed through thousands of hidden cameras and broadcasted live around the world, what makes the story so extraordinary.
So the movie is definitely not just about an all-day story, therefore I think that the plot is quite original and innovative. The fact that the spectator of the film gets inducted into Truman's secret even earlier than Truman himself makes his actions really funny and gripping.
However, the story of Truman isn't funny at all, it's rather tragic. The plot and the well- fitting music keep the film quite moving and the spectator begins to feel sympathy for Truman.
Finally, the movie turns out well, but the story keeps you thinking about today's TV and its influence on people.
All in all, the Truman Show is a beautiful movie with a fascinating story and moving background music, and though it's already more than 10 years old, I can thoroughly recommend you to watch it!
