The Truman Show [Blu-ray] [1998] [Region Free]

Love Jim Carrey in all his films. This one is not so much a comedy. But he plays it all so wellA true classic film

"The Truman Show" is an absolute masterpiece that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. Jim Carrey's performance is nothing short of phenomenal, delivering both humor and raw emotion. The concept of a life broadcasted 24/7 is mind-boggling, and the execution is flawless.The thought-provoking themes and impeccable direction make this film a must-watch. It keeps you questioning the nature of reality long after the credits roll. Truly a cinematic gem that deserves all the praise it gets.

The product itself was perfect; delivered very quickly, packaged great and with it's original cellophane etc.The film itself was OK. I liked the idea behind the film more than where the writers and director took the film in direction. It was thought provoking and original, and I love Jim Carey's character; realistic and compelling. The film just doesn't really develop much over the couple of hours, and I felt a lot more could have been done with the idea.It was refreshing to see Carey in a different role to his usual, type-cast roles, and he took it on well.It was, though, definitely worth the buy and watch and I will be recommending it to friends, purely for the original narrative.

I've seen this plenty of times. It's easily one of the greatest films of all time!

So much fun watching this classic, such a good movie

Without doubt Jim Carrey's finest moment, The Truman Show is as much a satirical side-swipe at reality TV junkies and celebrity chasers as it is a film about a life lived in complete oblivion. Carrey plays Truman Burbank, an orphaned child whose every moment is captured on camera from birth. As the truth dawns on him that his life isn't what could be considered ordinary, he makes his escape, while the whole nation sit glued to their goggle-boxes. Ed Harris puts in a sinsiter turn as Christof the show's creator and the allusions to God and Adam are clear to spot. When Truman finally realises that his whole life has been a sham (as his yacht reaches the outer edge of the studio and crashes into the set), it is a cinematic classic full of as much pathos, hope and life-affirming chutzpah as any other film scene you might care to mention. The film works on so many levels, but the mania that has gripped the West, besotted as it is with I'm a Celebrity, Big Brother and all the rest of the trash that passes for entertainment, is what makes this film eerily prophetic and perfect at the same time.

As this was an old film I really wasn't sure it was worth the money to rent, the reason for renting it was my grandson wanted to see it. I honestly believe a movie of this age should be free to watch with prime membership or a minimal fee of a£1 at the most

Easily my favourite Jim Carrey film. Manages to perfectly balance the serious moments with Carrey's humour.
