Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2020)

Jim Carrey stars as Truman Burbank whose life is the subject of a crazy show people are eating up as entertainment. Everyone is aware of the show other than Truman himself. He's been on the show for over 10,000 days if you can believe it. Right from his birth. Truman though starts to figure some things out when there are some malfunctions like lights falling to the ground or seeing his dead father just to mention a couple things. Nothing is allowed to happen naturally in his life in his life like falling in love without major input from the show's creator and director Christof (really well played by Ed Harris as usual).
A smart script from Andrew Niccol that is able to ask some good hard questions about humanity while giving a cold look at reality. Wonderfully directed by Peter Weir as well. Harris, Niccol and Weir all received Oscar nominations for their work. Now, I hardly ever feel this, but this film may work just as well if not better on TV due to the subject matter and really making you feel like you are watching the very show Jim Carrey is on.
To me though the number # 1 reason why this film so amazingly well is Jim Carrey. He does not play that way over-the-top character who looks like he has drank 100 coffees that day. He is more down-to-earth, more human. Also starring Laura Linney as his wife Meryl as well as Paul Giamatti and Harry Shearer. So give it a watch if you like to think with a laugh. Highly recommended.
