The February movie: From Wikipedia: The Truman Show, is a 1998 American comedy-drama film written and co-produced by Andrew Niccol, and directed by Peter Weir. The film depicts the story of Truman Burbank (played by Jim Carrey), a man who is unaware that he is living his entire life on a colossal soundstage, and that it is being filmed and broadcast as a reality television show that has a huge international following. All of his friends, family, and members of his community are paid actors whose job is to sustain the illusion and keep Truman unaware that the world he inhabits is scripted and fake. The film’s supporting cast includes Laura Linney, Ed Harris, Noah Emmerich, Natascha McElhone, Holland Taylor and Paul Giamatti.
You can watch a trailer here.
This film can be streamed for free wth your library card on Hoopla and Kanopy. There are also 8 copies of the DVD available to be checked out in the library system (only one at Corning; the others can be put on hold and delivered to Corning)
