Why?

Rating: 2/10 (26 May 1999)

I really hate Jim Carrey and my friends assured me I would like this film. How wrong could they be? I thought this movie was terrible, I can't see how anyone can like such an evil concept because that is what it is. A person lives their entire life for the satisfaction and enjoyment of a population of sickminded couch potatoes. To keep someone in a place and intrude on their life is not in my mind good viewing but evil. Ed Harris' character should have been arrested for kidnapping not given awards. I thought Carrey's acting was just the same as the rest of his stuff just toned down slightly. The ending was totally implausible and unbelievable. I do not have one nice thing to say about this film, all Truman's co-workers obviously were too greedy to see what they were doing was wrong. I know it is just a film but with the way television is going this type of thing is potentially just round the corner and it will be a big mistake the day that someone actually does this. This film is totally unbelievable, a big waste of money and it was a complete waste of my time.
