True Man Show:

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2007)

The Truman Show (1998) directed by Peter Weir is a story of an ordinary man who does not know that he is a star of a long running show that started on the day he was born and depicts every smallest detail of his life in a picture perfect small town of Seahaven for all world to see. Everything and everybody around him is not real, including his family, his friends, his job, and the whole world that seems so friendly and familiar. The ultimate irony is in his name - he is the only TRUE man among the actors.
Jim Carrey's performance is a revelation and it is still a mystery for me why he was overlooked by the Academy of Motion Pictures that year and was not rewarded for his superlative work. He's been helped by Laura Lynney and Ed Harris (great performance). The true star of the movie is Peter Weir's directing - he is the real Creator of this "theater of absurd".
