My Take: When I saw "The Truman Show" I was amazed. The different scenarios in the film all provide ques and little quirks you pick up now and again to piece together at the climax, and the Camera angles, while being confusing, make you look back at the movie and laugh about what you didn't understand earlier. Aside from a couple romantic scenes, some language, and a few frightening parts, "The Truman Show" is a pretty good movie, and I guess I'd want to watch it again a few times.
Story: 10 out of 10
