Description

He's the star of the show--but he doesn't know. Jim Carrey wowed critics and audiences alike as unwitting Truman Burbank in this marvel of a movie from director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society) about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realize that his quaint hometown is a giant studio set run by a visionary producer/director/creator (Ed Harris), that folks living and working there are Hollywood actors, that even his incessantly bubbly wife is a contract player. Gradually, Truman gets wise. And what he does about his discovery will have you laughing, crying and cheering like few film stories ever have.

The plot is so brilliant and odd and annoying and EXTREMELY amazing at the same time. Idk if I would buy this movie…. Maybe check on whatever streams you have. Actually I changed my mind. BUY. It.( with This movie I would probably recommend being at least 9 to watch it cause the plot might be to mind provoking for young kids.

    ….here we are today, Truman. 25 years later; with alexa showing bezos our homes so his amazon execs may analyse our bedrooms to determine when to sell us viagra and crotch deoderants. these classic movies were oracles for our fascist present times where the minister of propaganda, elon musk, now owns our childrens nighttime and the fat orange fuhrer fools gullible supporters to hang flags of hate in their mega churches. sad reality. wish i could go back to 1990 when we had a chance to permanently silence trump and newt grinderich’s limbaugh creation before tyranny and sedition would be considered acceptable. … it is nice to watch this comedy back when most of us were inteligent, and that it could never have happended.

    The Truman Show was the most creative movies i have seen in a while, not to mention that Jim Carrey's career has plummet down to the surface with a thud, The Truman Show is a movie beyond expectations, fake, imagnation and creative ideas that take the premise of the movie and turns it into a sitcom. This movie isn't trying to be hailrious with Jim Carrey's goofy personality which makes this nocturnal movie with high expectations and takes the story into another level. The film follows Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) as a child growing up, Burbank is held under his will in a popular TV show that is being aried across the globe when people are watching. Burbank dosen't seem to notice he is actually being forced into a tv show created by TV executive Christof (Ed Harris) who controlls Truman's every move and including the whole entire fake world he has created ever since Truman was born. The elements in the film are quite the creative inpulse that this movie is trying to capture what is like to be on a exciting television show but for me the premise is kinda stupid and random because why would Christof a seemingly talented creator kidnaps Truman and forces him into thinking he is in the real world expect he is in a fake televison globe that neither any human being on earth can handle. Iam not saying The Tuman Show is the worst movie ever made sure the tv stakes and city look perfect in every way, Iam saying that the premise sometimes doesen't fit with the tone of the movie and falls apart in some momments on the course of Truman's life in a fake globe. Well The Truman Show is a excellent, excellent, excellent movie with a not so common premise and Jim Carrey gives a outstanding rather goofy performence as Truman Burbank and as always in case i don't see ya Good Morning, Good Evening and Good Night!- Rating 9/10

    The best 80’s drama I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. I wonder what happened to Truman afterwards.

    I feel like I watched a different movie than the reviews. I only kept watching it waiting for the "wait till you see how he handles it". I really like Jim Carrey and that's what pushed me to rent it. I watched Maverick the night before and it blew this movie away as far as a comedy. If you want to laugh watch that. This is a bomb.
  • One of my favorite movies.

    This is one of the greatest movies of all time. Such an amazing plot, such great acting, with such a surrealness to all of it, confusing you and making you think. I love movies that make you think ("2001", not so much). But this masterpiece is such an iconic and fantastic film. I love his funnier films like "Dumb and Dumber", but Jim Carrey, stepping out of his comfort zone, for this, makes me appreciate him even more. This movie got 3 Oscar nominations, but none for Best Picture, which I think wasn't fair. But I can't even go on to point out every great aspect about it. You have to see it for yourself.
