Just PERFECT!
This is a perfect movie. The screenplay is one of the best I have ever seen. Andrew Niccol is a genius and can compare to the likes of Charlie Kauffman with this. He hasn't done many other memorable works (Gattaca, S1m0ne, Lord of War), but this picture proved he has an imagination like no other. Peter Weir is a fantastic director and Jim Carrey.. well what can we say about him? He is absolutely and positively perfect for this role. His performance was left out when it came to the Oscars in 1998, but that's okay because he did win the Golden Globe that year. Ed Harris was fantastic and Laura Linney was great, also. Linney captured her character which was probably hard to do. She plays an woman who is an actress who is acting in the real life of Truman Burbank where she acts as if she is living her real life, although it's only a performance. She did a great job. This movie is probably one of the best of the decade and was not recognized like it should have been. It's the second best movie of 1998 and one of my favourites of all-time. Instantly classic screenplay. I will never forget this film.
