The Truman Show Audience Reviews

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

carlmyers-80296 The Truman Show is Jim Carrey as you have never seen him before. This is straight out of The Twilight Zone(in fact writer Andrew Nicchol based the screenplay on an episode of The Twilight Zone. Jim Carrey plays an insurance salesman who has no idea that his entire life is scripted and part of a television show. This is a departure of sorts for Peter Weir also and though I have forgotten much of this film I remember liking it a lot. There are many underlying themes and the entire presentation is something you don't see often. This is a healthy recommendation regardless of whether you are a fan of Carrey or not.

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.

donafebw The Truman Show.I think this movie is beyond comedy. The message behind it is very strong. After watching this movie my thought is suprisingly about god, yet this movie is never talk explicitly about religion. According to this movie I think yes, he has prepared something good for our destiny. But it doesnt mean you just accept it because as a human being you have your own will too. And no matter how great or bad what you have been through, it is just about your own perspective. Maybe you could say he's gives you that experience because he wants to protect you from the bigger problems out there or maybe you would say he is just control and play at you because he knew every single things about you more than you are.

rawatankit-19088 It's great to watch Jim carrey,.he is one of the finest of Hollywood.he has surprised us with many unbelievable movies but this movie will go in history as one of his best works.must watch for those who loves mystery thriller.
