Summary: A Very Special Movie
Review: I have never been a big fan of Jim Carrey and his crazy on-screen antics. For that reason I wasn't expecting anything great when I first saw "The Truman Show." But I was wrong - big-time. "The Truman Show" is one of those very special movies you only come across every few years. The very original plot and convincing performances by Jim Carrey and Ed Harris caused me to experience a diverse range of emotions. "The Truman Show" can bring out laughter (with it's surprisingly sophisticated humor) and it can bring tears (I found myself feeling very sorry for Truman as the heart-rending conflict begins to rage within him). Do not be surprised if you find yourself reflecting on this movie for days and even weeks after you watch it; I did. There really is a very deep and special lesson that this movie teaches. It is one that should be sobering to us all: That in this drama called Life, we can't control everything, nor can we even begin to imagine how many lives we are impacting by our actions. If one day we are to be held accountable for what he have done in our lifetime, will we live the remainder differently? "The Truman Show" is without a doubt a very special movie. Kudos to Jim Carrey, Ed Harris, and Peter Weir!

Summary: If you are looking for tpyical Jim Carey FORGET IT!
Review: I didn't really care for this movie. I got lost in the story and actually fell asleep. It was a bit creepy to realize that your whole life can be on film but I would rather watch "DUMB AND DUMBER" OR "LIAR-LIAR" ANY DAY!

Summary: Good Movie with a few loose ends
Review: The Truman Show was a good movie. Jim Carrey and Ed Harris' performances were very well done. I heard just about every critic get mad when this movie didn't get nominated. Now I know why. There was a loose end in the film. It didn't answer questions like, "How would Truman react to the outside world?" or "Would he ever meet Sylvia again?". That's what disappointed me. I wanted more out of the film. It was good, but not great. It was refreshing to see Carrey in a dramatic role minus the craziness. If you want to see those "rare" Jim Carrey moments, check out "Doing Time on Maple Drive".

Review: This movie is absolutely the best one that I have ever seen. The idea of peeping and broadcasting one's whole life came to me as kind of shock. Hope you experience together.

Summary: Good, but not great
Review: When "The Truman Show" was released in summer 1998, it got many rave reviews from citics all over the world. I think that this reaction wasn't entirely merited.I'm really a huge admirer of Peter Weir's films. "Witness" and "The Last Wave" are among my favourite movies, but "The Truman Show" unfortunatelly could not fullfill my expectations. I think that it has some great moments, but it tries to be too many movies at once. The film isn't satisfied in being a satire, it also wants too deal with larger issues, but this would require an extra movie. Weir reveals too early, that Truman Burbank is just living in a large TV show. That creates a distance between us and him, which I think hurts the movie. We are introduced to the director of the show named Christoph (very significant name, isn't it?), a character that is overwritten and overplayed. Jim Carrey, however, does a very good job and I also liked the score by Burkhard Dalwitz and Philip Glass. "The Truman Show" is definetly worth watching. It just could have been better.

Summary: A good movie!
Review: A man's life is broadcasted on television for the world to see. Jim Carrey's first dramatic role, and it's funny to see him get serious for once. He did a good job, and the movie is very entertaining.

Summary: Overly hyped
Review: I'm not about to scan over the 260-some commentaries on this flick. I don't think Ed Harris deserved the accolades he received. It's a role that anyone, even Paul Reubens, could have played. I'm a Carrey fan, but he never sold me on his stifled performance. It's a good concept gone awry.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I believe this movie is the greatest and most original movie I've ever seen and I don't know why it wasn't at least nominated for any oscars except for ed harris (best supporting actor). I don't look at movies as deep as some people, however. I don't look at movies through the eyes of a critic either. All I know is what I like and what I don't; and this movie I absolutely love! Jim Carrey gives a pretty good performance but it's everyone else along with him that pull the whole movie together. With Peter Weir directing, this movie turns into a work of art; A masterpiece; An unfortunately underrated masterpiece.

Summary: Its our world a fake of another one?
Review: When I saw this movie, i was two days thinking, what happens if our world, is a fake, what happens, if god, is like a director, directing completely our lives, we dont control anything, because he has wrote a script for us, that script we call "Destiny", maybe nothing happens for coincidence, maybe all was writing for us. I think this is the best Jim carrey work, and I loved that movie because is incredible, you must see, and reflex. I recommend. Now about the quality of the DVD, the menu are great, very powerfulls, but is a disappointment that dosnt have, subtitles in english, or french,, the only things is Close caption in englis, I hate close captions. and I speak Spanish, and the DVD dosnt have subtitles in spanish, but well, the sound is great and the image too. This a DVD that you have to be in your DVD collection.
