The Truman Show

The Truman Show (1998)
Seen on DVD 22nd August

STORY: 5.5/7
Truman was the first baby ever to be officially adopted by a company. He is also the star of his own television show, the thing is, he doesn't know about it. So many people think of this as just another stupid comedy movie with Jim Carrrey. The thing is... i think it's so much more, it's a social commentary about letting people run our lives,and losing control.

ACTING: 6/7
BRILLIANT! Jim Carrey manages to be so intense, while still carrying his "funnyman" act and Laura Linney is breath taking as Truman's "wife" Meryl.

CINE / VISUAL EFFECTS: 5/7
When watching a movie, i sometimes find myself saying... "where exactly is that camera supposed to be? what kind of persprective is that?" ...and well, The Truman Show managed to fix that problem.

SCORE / SOUND: 4/7
