Film review found on the Internet, but couldn't find a hard copy of the article. |
| Synopsis |
The reviewers sums up the underlying film of the movie by describing it as "a lament for a society that has lost its soul to technology and rote consumerism, and an affirmation of some resilient decency in our nature". Discusses issues of voyeurism, consumerism and lack of privacy. He argues that the most amazing thing about the film is not the thousands of hidden cameras and frequent product plugs, but the fact that we embrace it. Compares Truman to protagonists in other Weir movies, like Witness, The Year of Living Dangerously and Green Card, in that they're all struggling to find their bearing in the world. |
