The Truman Show Review

An unnerving film that forces us to question our acceptance of reality, our authenticity and autonomy as people, our consumerist culture, and the ethics of watching people for entertainment. Jim Carrey is incredibly charming and humble as the 'true-man' protagonist. Ultimately what this film left me with was, firstly, a sense of the importance of seeking the truth, and secondly, that people are always more important than entertainment. The real happy ending of this show is that at the end, we really don't know Truman at all, and that is a victory. Extremely well executed, worth rewatching and a definite addition to the 'all time favourites' list.
