Review of The Truman Show (1998) by Bryce F — 04 Jun 2012

One interesting concept of a film, "The Truman Show" skewers the obsession with celebrities and eerily predicted the sick minded reality TV shows such as "The Kardashians" or " Jersey Shore".

Unlike those people, Truman is a lovable, likeable protagonist whom we want to watch, but he want to watch him break free of his prison. The repercussions of the real world seems irrelevant, instead we get an interesting reflection on the nature of free will and, perhaps, what it may be like had someone recreated Eden but without the chance to be tempted.
