The Truman Show

Wow! What a movie. I mean not the movie but the concept. What a brilliant sattire mocking the desperate attempt of the TV channels' to feed us the overdoze of reality show. If you think of it then you'll realize how since Kaun Banega Crorepati the indian satelite televison arena has been flooded with reality shows. It was new to the bucolic audience here and they just gobbled it in. Cash started raining and everyone followed. Now we have shows to make marriage, break marriage, parenting kids, living in jungle etcetera etcetera.

Truman Burbank was conceived in national television. He was auditioned and casted in the biggest reality TV show when he was in the womb. His eagerness to come out in the real world earned him the edge over the other embroys. And since then he was living in the largest set ever inside hollywood. His life was broadcasted around the globe 24X7. His home was the largest set ever created on Earth insde the Hollwood studios. Nothing around him was real except he himself. His life was a script and people around him were actors constantly creating a world where he never realize that who he is. Little Truman wanted to be an explorer(What an irony) but was prevented by amazing means. The director of the show played by Chris Harris was the god in Truman's world. But however hard man tries he is yet to become full machine and that's what happens in Truman's life. One girl who was meant to be just another extra fell in love with the man and tried to give him the hints of the humungous setup. Though Truman falied to understand this massive plot at first but during his life and his quest for his lost love he realized the facts around him.
I simply salute the writer and director for creating such an apt motion picture in the recent time. Jim Carey was the perfect Truman and as they say it nobody can do the characters which are meant for Jim Carey.
Overall an enriching experience to see such an amazing movie.
