First off, if you haven’t seen The Truman Show, please do as soon as possible. It’s such a remarkable film about heartbreak and how others can corrupt someone’s life, and is brilliantly led by Jim Carrey. Carrey’s performance as Truman is one of the most under-recognized performances in terms of when it comes to the movie community imo. Sure he won some awards along with the whole film itself, but I feel like not enough people talk about it. He has the perfect balance of comedy and tragedy in this and his incredible job makes his character, as well as the world, feel so incredibly real. Once Truman begins to realize what’s going on, he’s sort of in a trance of what’s real and not real and one of my all time favorite scenes in any movie takes place soon after this. While Truman’s confronting his wife after slowly uncovering the false relationship he had been in all this time and how his life had been set up in a way where he doesn’t, and never did, have any control over it. Carrey’s delivery and body language is so chilling based around the context of what’s happening, and the director’s choice to have his wife seemingly barely even notice Truman’s state of mind makes it even more depressing. I can’t get over how incredible the scene is where he says “WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING TO?!!”. Nearly made me tear up the first time I saw it and I was literally jaw-dropped. It’s just so amazing.I have to rewatch this ASAP. via /r/movies http://bit.ly/2XMrqfu
