The Truman Show

The Truman Show

Who's in it: Jim Carrey, Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich, Ed Harris

What's it about: Truman has lived in almost the perfect world all of his life. He has the perfect wife, Meryl(Linney), and the perfect best friend, Marlon(Emmerich). They help for his life to go around in a perfect circle. He begins to have the feeling that life isn't all that he seems though. Truman believes that all of the people around him are actors in a crazy game. Christof(Harris) is the greatest director of the world famous TV series called The Truman Show. Truman is the unknowing star in this show and there are those who like it, and those who don't.

What I Think: Jim Carrey is great. He's funny but can be serious. This was one of his more funny movies. He playing the man who's blind to his own fame is priceless. It's almost like in a play when the audience knows everything, but the characters know nothing. Linney was alright in this movie. She didn't have much of a role and she was supposed to be an actress who was trying too hard and she succeeded. I've seen her in better roles, but she still did outstandingly well in this one.
