| Jim Carrey plays Truman Burbank, a man who lives in a perfect world with a
perfect job and a perfect wife. Little does he know that his life is the

| Who would have thought? Jim Carrey does drama. When I first saw the
advertisement for The Truman Show, I thought, "What a hilarious idea for a
movie!" However, it was an even better premise for a drama. more |

| The notion that television is corrupt and that it corrupts minds is as old as
the invention of television itself. There have been a plethora of films
concentrating on this technological theme from the classic "Network" to the
recent successor "Wag the...more |

| There's one thing that Peter Weir (the director) does with The Truman Show
that makes it utterly brilliant, and it's something so subtle that you have
to think to notice it. The entire time you're viewing Truman, you're not
watching a movie, you're...more |

| The movie can be viewed as a parable on the amount of control we have over
our lives, or as an allegory about the exploitation so rampant in today's
world. more |

| A movie like The Truman Show is really hard to come to terms with. For
a start, there's all the hype associated with it. I like to go into a
movie with very little idea of what's about to unfold, making it
possible for me to judge a movie on its content...more |

| First, let us now praise Peter Weir and Scott Rudin for producing a film
rated PG, one suitable for my daughter on her tenth birthday. THE
TRUMAN SHOW had two profanities I can recall, no sex scenes, no
gratuitous violence, and a lot of ideas. more |

| *** (out of 4) Truman ("true-man") Burbank is the perfect name for Jim
Carrey's character in this film. President Truman was an unassuming man who

| Peter Weir’s dazzling daydream “The Truman Show” has been tabbed as this
