Superb and brilliant film!

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 1999)

I need to finally say this. Andrew Niccol has done two movies, and both are on my top 3 list. Gattaca was AMAZING! Everything about that movie was spectacular! Now here comes The Truman Show, which was written but not directed by the genius, and is almost as good. The story is SO unique! There has never been anything like it before! Jim Carrey is exceptional! Peter Weir, who did another movie on my top 3 list, Dead Poets Society, did a FANTASTIC job directing this story of paranoia! And of course, the script is brilliant. Jim Carrey should really be proud of himself for doing such a different role, and to star in a DRAMA-comedy. This movie is definitely on my top 3. That's funny, my top 3 movies all have something in common: Ethan Hawke is in Dead Poets Society and Gattaca, Gattaca was written by Andrew Niccol along with The Truman Show, and Peter Weir directed The Truman Show along with Dead Poets Society! (Note: I do not count the Star Wars movies on my top 3 list because I don't count those as movies, I count those as empire's.) I am very glad that this story had very little comedy elements in it. It was mostly drama and fantasy. This movie is a very unique and special movie, and I highly recommend it to everyone who likes unique stories. Just don't expect to see a Jim Carrey comedy-type movie.
