商务0903 赵轶,The Truman Show is a 1998 American satirical comedy-drama film directed by Peter Weir and written by Andrew Niccol. The cast includes Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank. The film displayed the life of a man who is initially unaware that he is living in a constructed reality television show, broadcast 24-hours-a-day to billions of people across the globe. Truman becomes suspicious of his perceived reality and embarks on a quest to discover the truth about his life. The genesis of The Truman Show was a script by Niccol. The original draft was more in tone of a science fiction thriller, with the story set in New York City. Scott Rudin purchased the script, and instantly set the project up at Paramount Pictures. Brian De Palma was in contention to direct before Weir took over, managing to make the film for $60 million against the estimated $80 million budget. Niccol rewrote the script simultaneously as the filmmakers were waiting for Carreys schedule to open up for filming. The majority of filming took place at Seaside, Florida, a master-planned community located in the Florida Panhandle.,brief introduction,plot,Born as a TV star, Truman is imprisoned in a small island called Seahaven for the first half of his life. His life is designed, and his work, all his friends, his parents, evens his wife. He dreamt to be an explorer, and was told the world had nothing to explore. He dreamt to leave the island, and indirectly resulted his fathers death. He dreamt to fall in love with the girl he likes, but only to be told that she was a psychopath. And at last, he finally realized that there was something wrong with the world he lived in. leading by his dream, he managed to get out, leaving the world that was created for him and went to that unknown outside, dark and dangerous.,In this movie, Trumans life was perfectly devised. In order to control him, Christof, the director, arranged so many plots to interfere Trumans thinking, making him afraid of water by his fathers death, advocating the plane crash and preaching up the living environment of Seahaven. All of these made Truman feel that all these years he spent on this island were so comfort and easy, just as the world should be. However, it was his dream that changed all these beauty. Although he didnt talk much about this dream of going out, he never let it go. The dream was just like a seed, taking root in his heart and flourishing into flowers. Finally one day, he wanted to go out, to go after his dream. All the things he was familiar with became his barriers.,Starting as a comedy, I am always taken by how well the film moves to become more and more interesting but yet never loses sight of those audience members who have come for the basic story. Hence it delivers an enjoyable and engaging central narrative that, plainly put, makes for a comic and involving yarn we grow to care for Truman and this makes the ending an emotional and satisfying one even if some viewers will bemoan the fact that (to them) it appears open ended. That it is also a very thought-provoking affair is only a bonus, with the satire working on many levels. Of course by seeming to tackle so many subjects and issues in such a short running time, the film never really gets its teeth deep into any one of them but this is not a major problem because it leaves us to do that in our heads after the film finishes.,film review,TRUMAN：Who are you?

In a Hamilton Spectator interview (February 2007), Carrey remarked, “If my career in show business hadnt panned out I would probably be working today in Hamilton,at the Dofasco steel mill.“ When looking across the Burlington Bay toward Hamilton, he could see the mills and thought, “Those were where the great jobs were.“ At this point, he already had experience working in a science testing facility. In 1979, under the management of Leatrice Spevack, Carrey started doing stand-up comedy at Yuk Yuks in Toronto, where he rose to become a headliner in February 1981, shortly after his 19th birthday. One reviewer in the Toronto Star raved that Carrey was “a genuine star coming to life.“In the early 1980s, Carrey moved to Los Angeles and started working at The Comedy Store, where he was noticed by comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who signed the young comedian to open Dangerfields tour performances. Carrey then turned his attention to the film and television industries.,film,his,2001 - The Majestic - 尊贵光环 2000 - How the Grinch Stole Christmas - 圣诞怪杰 2000 - Me, Myself & Irene - 一个头，两个大 1999 - Man on the Moon - 月亮上的男人 1998 - The Truman Show - 楚门的世界 1997 - Liar Liar - 大话王 1996 - The Cable Guy - 王牌特派员 1995 - Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls - 神探飞机头II 1995 - Batman Forever - 蝙蝠侠III 1994 - Dumb & Dumber - 阿呆与阿瓜 1994 - The Mask - 变相怪杰 1994 - Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - 神探飞机头 1992 - The Itsy Bitsy Spider 1991 - High Strung 1990 - Meet the Applegates 1989 - Earth Girls Are Easy - 地球姑娘好相处?! 1989 - Pink Cadillac 1988 - The Dead Pool 1986 - Peggy Sue Got Married - 佩吉苏出嫁 1985 - Once Bitten 1984 - Finders Keepers 1983 - Copper Mountain and Introducing.
