Every second of every day, from the moment he was born, for the last thirty years, Truman Burbank has been the unwitting star of the longest running, most popular documentary-soap opera in history. The picture-perfect town of Seahaven that he calls home is actually a gigantic soundstage. Truman's friends and family - everyone he meets, in fact - are actors. He lives every moment under the unblinking gaze of thousands of hidden TV cameras.

The Truman Show Audience Reviews

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

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.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

MovieManChuck 4/4What if your entire existence on this Earth was one big lie? What if you were a business, and you didn't even know it? The Truman Show seems to tackle the answers, and your emotions definitely play a part in making the experience great.A baby named Truman Burbank was adopted by a TV corporation, and everyone who would EVER enter his life was a mere actor. When things go awry, he has a sensation that "the world revolves around him". Then, he "goes rogue" (as far as the TV producers and directors are concerned) as he tries to find the truth at all costs.Jim Carrey gives a very emotional preformance as Truman. His life is one to die for: no controversy or chaos, but he feels empty and unfulfilled. There are many moments of Truman is overjoyed, but on the other side of the curtain are actors, simply paid to manipulate his emotions. On the other side of "Sea Haven" is a sick man controlling the strings.It's an excellent movie about a person who has been robbed of their life, and their dreams. Once he takes matters into his own hands, he makes it all happen for himself. Accompanied by a great musical score, The Truman Show stands as a winner, and your pity will not be spared!

smsudusinghe Jim Carrey is not just a comedian. Everybody thinks Jim is a comedian, but if you watch this film you'll understand who Jim Carrey really is. They should give him the Oscar for this performance. This movie is made from a great concept. Once that concept was on my head too. Director Peter Weir is a Genius. Somehow he has been able to made this movie without a single mistake. I really hate television. After I watched this I removed the TV from living room. But the movie won't tell you to hate television. It only told me. Truman Show is a great experience. A wonderful movie you can watch with your family. Specially TV lovers.

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.

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.
