Editor's Note

Comic actor Jim Carrey plays it (mostly) straight for this smart satire from director Peter Weir (DEAD POETS SOCIETY). The life of Truman Burbank (Carrey) has been broadcast around the world with tremendous success since the day he was born. A star for the mere fact that he exists, Truman has no idea that there are cameras in every corner of his world. But soon, cracks begin to show in the constructed world, and Truman questions his existence while everyone around him is in on the joke. Weir directs a fine cast, including Laura Linney as Truman's wife and Ed Harris as the show's director. Screenwriter Andrew Niccol also added interesting twists to the scripts for S1M0NE and GATTACA.

The Truman Show - Blu-Ray DVD Review
By: Alyse Wax - Blogcritics.org Reviews

Truman Burbank lives the perfect life. He and his wife live in idyllic Sea Haven, with its beautifully manicured lawns, clean streets, and residents who know each other by name. But it’s not real. Truman is the star of the world’s biggest reality series. The result of an unwanted pregnancy, Truman was adopted by a corporation, his entire life has been captured on film and broadcast 24/7 around the world. Sea Haven is actually an enormous soundstage in the Hollywood Hills. Over 5,000 cameras are active in this “hamlet.” Everyone Truman interacts with -- even his wife and mother -- are actors....read the full review
