The Truman show

I must say that the whole concept of the film is amazing. To think he is the only real thing in his entire life is ridiculous. The whole concept of the film is verging on George Orwell's novel "nineteen-eighty-four". The way that it is filmed is very clever as it's a programme within a film and therefore if you see any film set e.g a boom or a microphone nothing is taken from the verisimilitude of the film. I think one of my favourite shots is when Truman is in his car and it's as if the audience is in the radio as oppose to just being in the car generally. This not only enhances the realism of the film but also allows the audience to imagine themselves in the car with Truman. This film is also clever in the sense of how, in one scene, the audience is shown how the director sets the perfect scene to get the emotions e wants from Truman. A great film would advise all to watch.
