The truman show review
My Rating: 8.4/10
IMDb Rating: 8.1/10 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 94% Metacritics Rating: 90/100 My Favorite Quotes: 1. "In case I don't see yah, good afternoon, good evening, and good night." - Truman I have to admit my expectations were somewhat high coming into this film after seeing a lot of great reviews. Let me tell you my expectations were definitely fulfilled. So the plot follows a man named Truman the star of a famous TV series. The wired thing is he doesn't know his entire life has been a TV show. Twas a fitting ending for a fantastic film I love the way the movie is presented with the format of it being a television series and showing the directors and special effects crew. I enjoyed that is was realistic that a man would go about his life not taking a second thought about his natural every day life. I liked watching the progression of Truman coming to realization that he is on a TV show. Jim Carrey's acting was magnificent and the fact that he was not even given a nomination disgusts me. I could imagine that since he is mainly known for comedy the Oscars wouldn't give him a second thought. What really helps this movie shine is the build up towards the end and the ending itself. The plot has got to be One of the most original. there are a lot of Very memorable scenes that will never be forgotten. On the other hand the soundtrack was descent, but nothing special. One plot hole that I found surprising was. How come none of the cast of the Truman shows had not given up their little act a lot sooner? Why did Truman not want to travel earlier in his life? I also didn't like some of the supporting cast I thought they were somewhat one dimensional and very boring. Apart from those few things The Truman Show is a very original and fun to watch movie and I rank it an 8.4/10 |
