In this movie, Jim Carrey is Truman, a man whose life is a fake one... The place he lives is in fact a big studio with hidden cameras everywhere, and all his friends and people around him, are actors who play their roles in the most popular tv-series in the world: The Truman Show. Truman thinks that he is an ordinary man with an ordinary life and has no idea about how he is exploited. Until one day... he finds out everything. Will he react?

The Truman Show is one of Jim Carrey's great films. He is able to create this character who is beloved by the world and is watched 24/7. This film allows the view to question what is reality. To Truman his reality was in fact fake but he did not know this until an event occurred that allowed him to step out of his world and see something else. Once this happened he started to question his whole life and what was really going on within it. This allows the viewer to question what is their own reality. Is it real or is it just what someone else wants us to see and think. Truman allows this question to be brought to the view and then the viewer is able to see the glory behind taking hold of your own life. Truman does this and in the end becomes free. The audience must make the same decision that Truman does, what to do within our life and how to deal with the events that are occurring. What is reality and how are we able to view it.
