The Truman Show (1998)

A movie about a TV show that is a real life. That's what THE TRUMAN SHOW is about, a baby owned by a corporation that films the boy from birth to present day. It is a controlled environment with 5,000 cameras and hidden microphones. Why are they hidden you ask, because Truman (Jim Carrey) doesn't know there are actors all around. One day a lovely student tells him what is going on but someone comes along and tells Truman she is crazy and the student is moving to Fiji. A good setup as it leads to a big controversy, that Truman might not want to be a star of a television show. The kewl ending where the main character comes into contact with his creator releases endorphins and happiness in me. I wonder how much this release brought reality-TV to the fore. [4.3 stars]
