The Truman show

And while I'm on film review anyway, this week I also watched the Truman show. I taped it during the Christmas break, watched a part of it every night before I went to bed. I enjoyed watching it. Despite my antipathy for Jim Carey, I still enjoyed this one as well. It is a good story, great idea; funny to see how it is all worked out. The end has been stolen though. I don't know if anyone has noticed it before me - I'd be amazed if nobody has to be honest - but if you have read "This Perfect day" by Ira Levin, the end cannot come as a surprise. It was funny to see him sailing to the edge of his world, but the door out into the main studio was too predictable. Not a classic movie, but still entertaining.
