He's the star of the show--but he doesn't know. Jim Carrey wowed critics and audiences alike as unwitting Truman Burbank in this marvel of a movie from director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poets Society) about a man whose life is a nonstop TV show. Truman doesn't realize that his quaint hometown is a giant studio set run by a visionary producer/director/creator (Ed Harris), that folks living and working there are Hollywood actors, that even his incessantly bubbly wife is a contract player. Gradually, Truman gets wise. And what he does about his discovery will have you laughing, crying and cheering like few film stories ever have.

A product review is intended to help a potential customer determine if they will patronise the product. Only one reviewer was able to collect, organise and write their thoughts so that I can understand them. I found the others to be irrelevant, confused & semi-literate. One review is particularly disturbing. The writing is disjoint, meandering & larded with nonsensical pseudo science. The reviewer appears to be a person suffering from psychological dysfunction.

I found this film just plain creepy and unsettling that a guy's entire life is one huge lie and that he is living in a TV show all about him. It can upset viewers who get easily triggered by this kind of subject matter and cause paranoia in some cases.

Nicolle and I worked on two other films together. The Dead Poets Society's poems are in my handwriting. I've watched my story in this film for the first time, because, you see, I am True Man. Did anybody notice that Truman got paid nothing? Since when does the star of one of the biggest shows on earth get an insurance salesman's salary? I am True Man, will somebody get me paid? I came up with Quantitative Easing for the Fed. It saved the US economy. and now look. Pandemic 2020, here is the way to stop the deaths: Nicholson Science Ross Nicholson, Senior Scientist in Charge What else we can do to preserve society in light of the coronavirus-coved-19 pandemic? March 18, 2020 TOTAL VICTORY CORONAVIRUS Exocrinology to America’s Rescue Human pheromones can save us. Human pheromones can increase human immunity and save lives. Moreover, pheromone exposures contemplated have effects lasting as long as two years. Anecdotal effects of human pheromones, easing mental illness, sociopathy, and autoimmune disease will at least diminish the need for hospitalizations sufficiently to make available life-saving hospital rooms, hospital staff, ventilators, and anti-infectious disease gear for coronavirus cases. Also, once this coronavirus wave has passed over, swamping our emergency rooms, ICU’s, hospitals, and running us out of ventilators, masks, gowns, gloves, etc., it will become endemic. Then what are we to do? It is possible, though unlikely, that a regular vaccine for coved-19 can be developed in time to halt the expected wave of serious respiratory infections. That work must continue. Coronavirus infections are among those that cause the common cold, and we all know how well the hunt for a vaccine for the common cold has been going. It has been going nowhere for many decades. I am not optimistic that a vaccine will be found for this illness, but virologists differ, so let them continue to work on this problem for more decades. Yes, we should manage the crisis to have in place what resources we can muster to fight this deadly illness, and that work continues. America’s capacity for leadership and management is wide and deep. Ideas are coming thick and fast. Indeed, I am depending upon that openness to new thinking brought on by this emergency for my own contribution to the medical public weal. Clearly our first priority other than those I have sketched is that we must diminish the acute and chronic load on our hospital system, that is, we must help people in hospitals now and on a continuing basis not to be there in the hospital taking up resources needed for the peak wave of the coronavirus. Basically, if we can help people get well now, we should. Well, we can. Let’s start with the most obvious. What is it that is always in view whenever we open our eyes? That’s right, our own noses are in view, very close. So from rising in the morning to our last peeping at night before we finally go to sleep, about 8 to 10% of our total vision field is that of our own noses. Covering our noses is a sheen of pheromone that we humans pass when we kiss each other. I published an article in the British Journal of Dermatology, vol 111(5):623-7. The sheen on a person’s nose is the elixir of love, romantic and parental. This elixir is passed in kissing, the pheromone moves from kissed skin to kissing lips to kiss-obtained pheromone recognition in our brains. Perhaps surprisingly, we know a great deal about pheromone receptivity (Nicholson B., Pheromones cause disease: pheromone/odourant transduction. Med Hypotheses.2001 Sep;57(3):361-77). I recognized early in my career that the proteins dissolved and carried in emotional tears were pheromone receptor proteins. From key insights of many scientists studying them, it wasn’t difficult to see that these pheromone receptor proteins in their ionic milieu sequestered ions and released them suddenly when a pheromone made contact. That “hand grenade-like” release of ionic charges or potentials, which we have recorded as tiny potential differences or voltages, stimulate
