The Truman Show

1998

Directed by Peter Weir

On the air. Unaware.

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.

the truman show was black mirror before black mirror was black mirror
Review by Samster3000🌦 ★★★★½ 18

-The way that director Peter Weir stated he wanted to have cameras installed in every theater the film was shown in, having the projectionist at one point cut the power, cut to the viewers, and then cut back to the movie.
—CAN 👀 YOU 👀 EVEN 👀 IMAGINE 👀
“Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!”

Review by Laura ★★★★½ 25

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

the more i think about the ending, the more i feel bad for truman. the way he’s entering a world where he expects to finally be free and in charge of his own destiny, but is actually entering an environment where everyone knows him & has watched him his whole life, and will treat him differently based on what they have learned to expect of him.
Review by Jaxi ★★★★★ 25
