The Truman Show Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Steineded How sad is this?
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
yunussefa-51903 This movie answer the question ,what is a good movie?
Jitendra Kotai I have never been a fan of reality TV. On television real emotions and real behaviour is not possible. You can only be real to an extent because you know that the whole world is watching you. In Truman Show ; Truman is unaware and hence he is real. Jim Carrey gives a fantastic performance. Ed harris looks fantastic and acts very well. The film is a thinking man's film. It shows the human psyche of trying to go beyond boundaries. It is beautifully made film.
TheNameBrand It's shot in such a unique way that you can almost believe it's the real backstory of Jim Carrey. It's an nice classic staple of film, that many people should be able to appreciate for its originality and also for it's meaty existential plot.
shakercoola The themes are 1) how far is one prepared to go to break out of one's world view, and 2) what are the boundaries of broadcast sensibilities for an audience seeking the truth. The Truman Show is fabulously thought provoking and prescient of a future celebrity culture. Jim Carey is well cast and the film has expert direction from auteur Peter Weir.
