One of the greatest films of all time!

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2014)

Directed by Peter Weir, The Truman Show is truly an excellent film that explores new ways to engage the viewer, in it's own way it truly catches one's attention as it is one of those rare films that are simple yet very deep. It focuses on Truman Burbank, a man whose life is nothing but a routine. Truman then realizes that everything in his life has been the same, and the story begins to unravel from there...
Peter Weir is a great director, he was able to fool the viewer in making us believe that Truman is living in a normal world and not a TV show. He was very successful in making the story evolve around Truman and make us feel the tension between the characters his camera angles were great as he sometimes uses the "hidden" cameras that were used in the show, I felt that was very creative.
The Truman Show is written by Andrew Niccol who also wrote and directed the very successful Gattaca. He does a great job writing the film as he made the viewer know only what Truman knows and did not have any dramatic irony which I really loved, this helped the story to focus on Truman and develop around him, which made the film much more entertaining. I have to admit, when I watched the first 30 minutes of the film I was lost, I didn't understand anything, but once Truman finds out that his life is fake the viewer finds out with him and suddenly I understood everything. The character development is one of the best thing in The Truman Show, as Truman develops into something totally different than what he was in the beginning of this excellent film.
The acting is of coarse amazing, as Jim Carrey does his best ever acting in this film, seeing him happy, sad, angry and dramatic Carrey truly proved himself to be an excellent actor.
Overall the Truman Show is an excellent and unique film, it is a must see!!
