A brilliant meditation of The Republics Book 8...

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2002)

It seems lost on people that The Truman Show stems from Platos
philosophy, mainly Book Eight of the Republic. Brilliant references, for
example Truman finds truth when he meets Laurel/Sylia (tricked man finds
truth in nature). Peter Weir is a thoughtful director, coaching a
brilliant performance out of Jim Carrey who can do drama as well as
comedy. The movie is vague but not because of lack of thought. A great
film and touching. Beautiful soundtrack. I would have loved to speak
with the art director, sets and design are great. A definate 10 all of
