The Truman Show: A Review

This is a reaction and review of The Truman Show. I wrote it at my first viewing before and after seeing it. I notated to make it a little more recent.

Pre-Viewing:

Okay, folks. Here goes nothing. I just got out of 9th period to see this movie because I thought it was going to be packed. Including me, there are exactly six people here. [This was about fifteen minutes before show time. When it started, there were about twelve in all.] The Truman Show got four stars in Newsday and three and a half in USA Today. I'm very excited. I came into school late after getting some creamy hazelnut coffee at Dunkin' Taco Robbins [a food establishment that combines Dunkin' Donuts, Taco Bell, and Baskin Robbins] and looking over my notes for Humanities. One of the teachers actually had the nerve to give a 100-question objective test on the 1960s. I probably failed it. I fail all of his tests whether I study or not. I happened to study this time. Last night I was up until one in the morning after the sucky-ass MTV Movie Awards. (The only cool parts were the acceptance speeches of Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, and Will Smith and Neve Campbell's dress and hair, because they look just like mine.) After that I had to watch the Jim Carrey movie special, so that took me to 11:30 already. Five minutes till show time. Now I must prepare myself.

Wow. Incredible, intriguing, thought-provoking. The Truman Show is the most amazing movie I have ever seen. Like having sex. That's what I imagine it to be like; a wonderful, breathtaking feeling that leaves you absolutely speechless and craving a cigarette. [Okay, that was a little dramatic, even for me.] If this film doesn't earn Jim Carrey at least an Oscar nomination, I'm going to raise hell.
