Every aspect of Truman Burbanks Life is filmed, when he eats,drinks and when he sleeps. I came away from The Truman Show feeling inspired (and slightly paranoid) which is the goal of good filmmaking. Jim Carrey was outstanding as Truman Burbank, underplaying him, not making him too comic or too dramatic, but giving true sincerity when asked. I was amazed at what a serious character Jim Carrey can play, he is just so talented and I wouldn’t want to change the film in anyway, form or fashion. Truman Burbank is married to Meryl Burbank (Linney) who works “night shifts” at the hospital although this is just an excuse to go home to her real family.Truman is watched everyday by millions of people who just don’t want to miss anything that happens, even elderly Truman loving ladies and a man who got a TV installed into his bathroom so he could watch The Truman show in the bath. But when things start happening out of the ordinary Truman gets suspicous and starts to investigate.
