Every second of every day, from the moment he was born, for the last thirty years, Truman Burbank has been the unwitting star of the longest running, most popular documentary-soap opera in history. The picture-perfect town of Seahaven that he calls home is actually a gigantic soundstage. Truman's friends and family - everyone he meets, in fact - are actors. He lives every moment under the unblinking gaze of thousands of hidden TV cameras.

I went into this movie expecting a strange experience, and I was certainly not disappointed. The Truman Show explores one of the most interesting premises ever conceived: what if someone's entire life was a simulation made for TV? It's so bizarre but done in such a grounded way that it really makes you feel for Truman, and by the end of the movie I was uncomfortable for both him and myself. It's almost a horror film in how it fills you with a strange sense of paranoia. Excellent idea, excellent execution, and deep enough to keep you thinking for a long time afterwards.

If you didn't get a little paranoid after watching this movie, you watched it wrong.

A classic with a future flavor.

A film that will always be one of my favorites. The screenplay is the masterpiece here, no doubt.

The Truman Show is the film that made me hanging at the end but at the same time gave me satisfaction. This film will give you so much mixed emotions and realizations about reality. I love every piece of it. The way it was directed is also beautiful. I also love the aesthetic in this film. And ofcourse, kudos to the actors and actresses especially Jim Carrey!
