The Truman Show (1998): Reality, Delusion & Us

This week, Ben and Rob step into the perfectly staged world of The Truman Show (1998), Peter Weir’s masterful satire starring Jim Carrey at his nuanced best. From the meticulously constructed Seahaven to the hidden puppeteering of Truman’s life, this film gets the lads asking one big question: how much attention is the right amount for you?The lads explore how Peter Weir, yet again, finds greatness in the people around him - from cast to crew - and drop some behind-the-scenes gems that will make you appreciate every frame. Meanwhile, Andrew Niccol’s script continues to astonish with its prescience and control over the surreal comedy-drama. They also dive into the bizarre cultural resonance, from Lady Diana parallels to the Truman Delusion, and deliver possibly the best ‘what does it all mean’ of the show yet.PLUS!
