Join us as we rewind to 1998 with this satirical, almost science fiction, drama, directed by Peter Weir and starring Jim Carrey in a role that broke his typecast of being the comedy funny man - The Truman Show.
Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey), was adopted and raised by a corporation inside a simulated television show. He doesn’t know it, but everything in Truman’s life is a part of a massive television set. Executive producer Christof (Ed Harris) orchestrates “The Truman Show”, a live broadcast of Truman’s every move captured by hidden cameras. As Truman gradually discovers the truth, however, he must decide whether to act on it.
Artificial sets, religious undertones, product placement, a commentary on the world of media, and the potential to give you “Truman Syndrome”; do you have fond memories of The Truman Show?
