He doesn't know it, but everything in Truman Burbank's (Jim Carrey) life is part of a massive TV set. Executive producer Christof (Ed Harris) orchestrates "The Truman Show," a live broadcast of Truman's every move captured by hidden cameras. Cristof tries to control Truman's mind, even removing his true love, Sylvia (Natascha McElhone), from the show and replacing her with Meryl (Laura Linney). As Truman gradually discovers the truth, however, he must decide whether to act on it. - The Truman Show, Film synopsis
The Truman Show, a reality television program in which his entire life, since before birth, is filmed by thousands of hidden cameras, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is broadcast live around the world. I remember watching this when I was much younger and caught the last half of the movie, and even then I was intrigued. The basis of the movie of constantly being watched by hidden cameras was always a thought of mine I had as an imagined situation that I often crossed my mind. So when I came across this film, I was very interested and excited.
Then during a Contextual Studies session, we were shown this movie, and I finally was able to watch it from the beginning.

I recently wrote an essay on Genius, Authorship and Originality and used this film as a discussion point, which I thought would be interesting to share my thoughts on this film. These are all my own words and opinions.
