The Truman Show Movie Review

The Truman Show, Truly Remarkable The Truman Show is a movie that orbits the life of just one person. That person is the character Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey). Truman has no idea his every move is being broadcasted as a live show throughout the world. Christof (Ed Harris) is represented as “God” in this movie as he controls Truman’s life.

Jim Carrey played his role accurately in the melancholic scenes as well as the elated scenes.

I honestly even giggled a little when I saw the ridiculousness of the idea. It also brought my attention that it required hundreds of actors 24/7 for Christof to keep
