yunussefa-51903 This movie answer the question ,what is a good movie?

adonis98-743-186503 An insurance salesman/adjuster discovers his entire life is actually a television show. The Truman Show has an interesting and very original idea for a story but the film is just not that very interesting for me as a whole. I mean sure Carrey does a good job but the movie was so damn slow that almost put me to sleep. The film is also a bit comedic, a bit dramatic and has some bits of sci-fi in it as well and all those things together in my opinion were kind of lackluster and just messy. I do understand why people love this film and why critics praised it as a whole but Jim Carrey has done way better films than this like Dumb and Dumber and The Mask and this is not on my list i'm afraid. (5.0/10)

smolorz-87925 This movie is also a masterpiece. For me on the same level like Forrest Gump. Movies like this are not made anymore these days. They simply touch you. Well, at least we can be happy with them we got.Some Actors are really made for one specific role, and this movie is made for jim carry. Incredible good Movie.

d-snake1 On the surface, The Truman Show is about a man who has lived his life trapped inside of a bubble. He tries the entire movie to pop the bubble, and he eventually does.Under that layer, though, is a complex theme. Does Truman really enjoy his cell? He seemed to for years. At the same time, he struggled with memories, but don't we all? As the viewer, we're left to determine the morality of the happiness of millions versus the freedom of one. We're also left to consider whether Truman's cage was better than his freedom. A child born into a system that doesn't have a great track record or a life of relative safety with no knowledge of the cage. The viewer also has to determine the sturdy nature of reality. What is reality besides our perception of it? What's real to Jim or to Bob? Are the things that are real to them real to me if I've never seen or heard about them? Beyond the philosophical questions the movie poses, the film itself is solid. Jim Carrey pulls off the part wonderfully. He's more than just a comedian, although he can bring the humor the instant the scene needs it. The supporting cast fell right in line. The pacing may be a little slow early on for many viewers, but that is remedied once the action begins to pick up.
