If this film were made today it'd be about a generation of TikTok & Instagram influencers upset that they don't have Truman's audience. Instead, the genius of this picture lies in understanding the era. Like The Matrix or Dark City, this was a rumination on false consciousness and day-to-day paranoia, with Weir creating an unsettling nightmare that attempts to sooth you via production design and hypnotic montages. And Jim Carrey's performance makes this movie the sweetest dystopia ever created.

great (prescient) premise, though I'd prefer a darker satire, as the feel-good and silly moments take away from exploring the implications. it's too easy to take it as just another movie and leave behind any actual themes in the theater, because look! shiny happy people! and I still can't unsee Carrey being, well, Carrey; guy gets typecast for a reason
