Is this Jim Carrey's best movie, Y/N?
But in its original form, The Truman Show was not a movie that mid-90s Jim Carrey would've signed up to be a part of. While the end product that we got is a modern masterpiece that delivers as much drama as it does comedy, which is a big genre detour from Carrey's usual output, it is even further away from what the project actually began life as....
The concept of the movie - a man unaware that his every waking moment is being filmed and broadcast worldwide - has resulted in it being named one of the most prophetic movies ever made, as it predates the original airing dates for Big Brother, which kicked off in 1999. The Truman Show landed in cinemas on 5 June 1998, and off the back of a $60 million production budget , it banked over $264 million worldwide at the box office. It also racked up 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, and was nominated for three Academy Awards, although not for Best Picture. This was the year that Shakespeare In Love won the top prize, so there was no accounting for taste at that particular ceremony.
