The Truman Show was released in 1998. The Truman Show was directed by Peter Weir. Peter Weir has had a lot of experience in his job here are a few:
 Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)  The Truman Show (1998)  Fearless (1993)  Green Card (1990)  Dead Poets Society (1989)  The Mosquito Coast (1986)  Witness (1985)  The Year of Living Dangerously (1982)  Gallipoli (1981)  The Plumber (1979) (TV)  The Last Wave (1977)  "Luke's Kingdom" (1976) TV Series  Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)  The Cars That Ate Paris (1974)  Homesdale (1971)  Three to Go (1971) And peter has got three movies coming out in 2007. The cast includes:  Jim Carrey (Truman Burbank)  a very different movie for what Jim Carrey would unsurely act in. He is more in the comedy movies and this is not that much of a comedy.  Laura Linney  (Meryl Burbank/Hannah Gill) A lot of movie experience starting from 1992-2006. As well as movies coming out in 2007.  Noah Emmerich (Marlon)  started movies in 1993 and is still in many movies today. Is different for this Noah because he is not normally a supporting roll is more a star roll when he is in movies.  Natascha McElhone (Lauren/Sylvia)  Holland Taylor ( Truman's Mother)  Brian Delate (Truman's Father)  Blair Slater (Truman as a boy)  Peter Krause (Lawrence)  Heidi Schanz (Vivien)  Ron Taylor (Ron)  Don Taylor (Don)  Ted Raymond (Spencer)  R.J. Murdock (Production Assistant)  Ed Harris (Christof)  Adam Tomei (Network Executive)  Paul Giamatti (Network Executive) I really enjoyed the movie and thought that it was serious but at the same time tricky and funny. I really like where Truman would always say Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night! I thought that it would was a nice thing to the movie. This movie is a littlie bit confusing and does take some time to understand. The movie starts with Truman living normal life and slowly finding out that something is wrong. Truman is the star of a hit show that is played 24/7 no adds or other programmes. He eventually finds out about this, and for time between then he has been acting all weird. Truman then become his old unmoral self again and makes the movie very cool. His life is a lie. He trusts many people and all those people are actors and are just making money of Truman. They are always told by Christof and the rest of the company what to say and what to do. The movie shows you a scene where the set is above the Hollywood sign. I feel that the movie ends in a fantastic way, the T.V show producer (Christof) talks to Truman trying to convince Truman to stay so that he can keep making money. In this scene Truman walks towards a door that he eventually exits from. This image makes it look like Truman is walking on water, while Christof is talking to him so it looks like Jesus is walking on water and God is talking to him. I loved the movie and I thought that it was well worth watching. I liked the way that the movie got a person that was funny and could be serious at the same time. The Truman show was great. Even though it was old and some people found it boring, I liked it.
