Review of The Truman Show (1998) by Michael K — 17 Mar 2015
Truman's life is played out in a goldfish bowl, where the illusion of self determination and free will turns out to be just that, an illusion. Every aspect of his life is pre-ordained by a higher authority, the ultimate creator if you like.
He manages to wake up to this fabrication and attempts to seek the truth and find meaning to his existence. You get the feeling that there's more to this movie than first meets the eye. It can be viewed as an existential allegory of life.
