The Truman Show (1998)


As I've said before in my Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond review, I have never been a Jim Carrey fan as he is the kind of actor whose only appeal lays in finding funny his overacting. I had to think again when I saw Charlie Kaufmann's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, where Carrey gives a terrific, emotionally deep performance that breaks me every time I watch the film. To be completely fair though, although I forgot, I had already seen his talent many years prior, when one of my high school teachers showed us Peter Weir's The Truman Show, a unique, emotional, entertaining as well as thought-provoking film.
