Thought Provoking

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2017)

The Truman show is an awesome satirical movie with a lot of humor and some seriousness. I believe that this movie is awesome because it kind of gets you thinking about the world around you. For me I think about this movie quite often because, (potential spoiler alert if you don't know what this movie is about), what if the world around me is all staged and nothing is real. A quote from the movie struck me relatively hard, when the character of the show's creator, Christof, said "We accept the reality of the world which we're presented". This struck me because of how true it is, we go through our daily lives every day and do the same things over and over again, without questioning anything, and I think it is good to question things every once in a while. Enough of the philosophical stuff, the comedy in this movie is also great. It isn't a comedy movie but the humor is sprinkled in at the right places to create some comic relief. My favorite scene in the movie is when, (spoiler alert!), the very end when he denies Christof's offer to stay on the show and he uses his "classic" line, "And in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night". Overall this is a great movie and would give it a 9/10.
