He's the star of the show-but he doesn't know. Jim Carrey wowed critics and audiences alike as unwitting Truman Burbank in this marvel of a movie from director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society) about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realise that his quaint hometown is a giant studio run by a visionary producer/director/creator (Ed Harris), that folks living and working there are Hollywood actors, that even his incessantly bubbly wife is a contract player. Gradually, Truman gets wise. And what he does about his discovery will have you laughing, crying and cheering like few film stories ever have.

This was a truly unusual movie, esoteric and challenging. I loved it!

A bit hard to get your head around but an interesting movie non the less.Perhaps a second look might clear up a few things.

Interesting idea. Not a captivating movie, though.
