Absolutely genius!

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 1999)

To write my opinion of this movie is a very difficult task. It can't be well- explained in words...so this will not be a good comment. If you want a good comment... See the film and let your brain do the work.
The director, Peter Wait, did a great job. The manuscript is well- written by Andrew Niccol. The concept of the movie is that Truman Burbank is the character in the worlds most seen TV- show. The show is called "The Truman Show". Truman doesn't know that he is the main- character in the show. The creators of the show has created a mini- world for Truman to live in.
Everybody Truman meets is actors. His mother, his wife and his best friend. The studio is full of cameras and they plan his whole life. They fix every error that occurs. One day, the biggest error possible occurs. Will they be able to fix it?
In my opinion Jim Carrey (Truman Burbank) did a great performance. Perhaps his best ever. He is well known by his comedies...Ace ventura 1 and 2, the cable guy, the mask and dumb and dumber. He is an excellent comedy- actor. But as mentioned he fits very well into the drama. The other actors did a great performance too.
If you expect a pure comedy when you sit down to see "the Truman show" I believe you will be very disappointed. This is a fantasy\drama.

This film was absolutely genius!
