| Truman, if the world were just. |
I think Maddie was talking about it recently? So my brother decided to throw it on.
A review of The Truman Show (1998) dir. Peter Weir.
I'm not sure how to interpret the movie. It's described as a psychological comedy on Wikipedia and Peacock. But I don't think I ever laughed. I would agree that it's a psychological drama, but a comedy? I don't recall laughing at all. I've never liked Jim Carrey's comedy. He's the second richest Nostalgia Critic type character, after Will Ferrell, and I never got the appeal.
It's pretty interesting, though. I like the worldbuilding, and I think the characters fit very well. The foreshadowing is sharp, and I feel like I would get a lot out of a second watch through.
Most importantly, the score is amazing. The songs are catchy and weighty, fitting every scene perfectly. I love how intense the movie feels, propelled along by the score.
7/10
