UTOPIA














This movie is guaranteed to leave you in deep thoughts, it shows the impact that reality television can have on everyday life,,,Truman Burbank ( Jim Carrey in a once in a lifetime role ) plays an ordinary guy who is unaware of the surroundings around him...the movie deals with existentialism, utopia...right from his childhood his entire life has been developed into a television show for the entertainment of the global audience...

i always feel touched when i see the scene when Truman breaks down...and that of satisfaction when he exits the artificial world,,,,
outstanding performance from Jim Carrey,,,superb script...intelligent direction from Peter Weir ( Dead Poets Society)...when Truman cares for someone the most but he had to let go of the opportunity because of the artificial friend and future wife he was lured by has lot of sadness plus irony... a landmark performance by Carrey was ignored for an idiotic movie like “as good as it gets” was another in the long line of horrible decisions by the academy and the most overhyped movie ever titanic was rewarded instead of this gem.
