This movie is perfect. It's amazing to watch the film because of Jim Carey and his range as an actor. You can't even tell that he's a comedian in this role.
Peter Weir (one of the unsung directors of Hollywood with hits like Master and Commander, Dead Poet's Society, etc.) did an amazing job putting this story together and creating the world in which Truman lives. It's fascinating to watch the special features: the actors think that the story is just commentary on reality TV as opposed to what Mr. Weir understood about the movie. It's a story about free choice and whether or not Truman is really free in this 'perfect' world that was created for him. There's a reason that the 'Creator' of the world is called Christof (Christ-off or Anti-Christ).
Overall, a very thought provoking film that is superbly acted, amazingly scripted, and beautifully scored. 5 out of 5. Well played, Peter Weir!
