The Truman Show

The Truman Show is an American comedy-drama about Truman Burbank,
an insurance salesman whose life has always been a non stop reality TV show since his birth.

He has a very ordinary life with a model wife, good friends, and a wonderful neighborhood until Truman accidentally bumps into an area backstage and starts to be suspicious. His hometown is just a huge set and all the people around him are actors performing a script. Its discovery and other facts like that the same people walk every day by the same site and other repetitive events make him suspect that his life is being controlled and tries to find out the truth at any cost. The director and creator of the show who is known as Christo tries to avoid in all possible ways the escape of Truman but finally the viewers celebrate the escape of Truman, while his true love Sylvia quickly leaves her apartment to meet him.

Although the plot line is quite humorous, there are brush strokes of love and drama. The movie is starring Jim Carrey and Laura Linney and is inspired by a science-fiction thriller. What I liked the most was the implicit message; I would say that the first thing that comes to your mind after watching the movie is the reason of our existence, what role we are playing each of us in our life.

I strongly recommend this movie, not only because you will have the opportunity to have a fun time, but because it will make you reflect if you are also an actor going on a script.

Another great piece of writing Javier! Well done! I've seen The Truman Show twice and agree that it's a really good movie :) Did you know that the director of The Truman Show is called Peter Weir, and he was born and lives in Sydney, Australia (where I'm from!). I actually met Peter Weir's son and become friends with him! Such a small world, haha, and now Peter lives about fifteen minutes away from me! Pretty cool, right!?
