The Truman Show is a movie that emphasizes the absurd extremes of reality television. The film tells the story of a man called Truman Burbank, played by Jim Carrey, who appears to be a regular fellow, aging normally, living his life without knowing that he is the sole focus of a 24-hour reality show which has captured his life since he was born. Totally immersed in his artificially constructed world, Truman cannot help but begin to seek the truth that complicates his existence. The film brought up questions on the controversial concepts of privacy and surveillance.
