1998’s The Truman Show stars Jim Carrey as the mild-mannered Truman Burbank, an unremarkable man living in a small island community and enjoying a quiet life. However, unbeknownst to Truman, his entire existence has been a reality TV show. Every scene, from his birth through his first kiss to his calm existence at the beginning of the film, has been filmed and shown to a global audience. The Truman Show’s unusual premise — years before reality TV shows like Big Brother became famous — made for a humorous, fascinating, and thought-provoking film that earned three Oscar nominations and a Golden Globe Award for Carrey.
