#236. The Truman Show

"We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented."

Truman Burbank thinks that he is an ordinary guy with a same-old life, with normal friends, a normal wife, and a normal job. Little does he know, his entire life has been video taped for a 24-hour TV show seen by millions, known as "The Truman Show". Everything is going as usual, until Truman starts discovering clues about the set, and the chaos begins.

I really liked this movie. Though I feel that the plot itself is a little far-fetched and outlandish, it's still a very unique concept that makes you think.

My favorite character was Truman Burbank, played by Jim Carrey. Of course, he was the star of the show, but a great one at that. I love that this really shows that he doesn't just play in stupid movies. There was also Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a movie that I absolutely adore, that shows that Carrey can be a very versatile actor. And even though he's done some great comedies, I really think I like his drama movies better.

All I can say is that Jim Carrey was great in this movie, and I thought it was a very solid film. My rating is a 7.5
