Loved that scene where he thought at first he was talking to God.

@op can't sleep literally just rented Truman show on demand because of this post haha
Such a great film!
IQNAProductions
Very good. Have you watched Pleasantville? Not a Jim Carrey movie but another movie that surprised me as well.
mindblabber
It's like the Matrix, but without the stop motion fight scenes and the leather everything.
theusernameimlookingfor
And the green color grading.
Beezlebrox
If you liked that watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's another fantastic serious Jim Carey movie, I cried like a baby.

“Never had a camera inside my head” yeah this movie is one of my favorites too. Glad to see appreciation for it

Movie is a mindfuck
matthew2401360
I saw it when I was kind of young. It fucked me up for a while. I wouldn't be naked around a mirror, and I would look for cameras randomly.

Apparently Truman Show syndrome became more of a thing after the movie. People believing the people around them were actors.
eyesoftheearth
Only in America though.
bravotipo
This movie is a masterpiece. Valid point also today. Instead of Tv it's social media on the www but still the same issue.

Has Peter Weir ever directed a bad film. FFS just give him $100 mill and let him make whatever he wants. It will be good.

He won't. Night Shyamalan and David Ayer ain't done with their billions.

It's 1998. MTV still plays music, Pepsi has no crappy new logo, DVDs are the hottest shit right now and life is actually not that bad.

If it is I guess the cancelled mine years ago. Nothing ever happens

Now watch the Matrix..

My teenage years were spent watching both, safe to say I got a little paranoid.

Relax, you're not really paranoid - they really ARE watching and controlling you.

great soundtrack. wish more movies today made an effort to make original music and not generic or licensed music.
Yea the soundtrack was very intriguing
Well it's not entirely original. Some of the cues were lend from Philip Glass' soundtrack of "Powaqqatsi".
Jaaybiird
That movie makes me anxious tbh
pomdor
It surprised me, too, that it turned out to be way more than just a Jim Carrey vehicle.
aBastardNoLonger
One of my all time favorite movies
ChickenFingerFingers
I originally watched because he was in it, but thoroughly ended up enjoying it.
kojenk
Thsnk goodness they didnt include the ending they initially planned, where he does actually die.
Though I would have liked the scene where the friend spots him disguised but lets him go.
stevez17
The soundtrack is great too! I love the part where he starts to suspect things, the music really drives that scene and pulls you in!
AleksandrBlazkowicz
its his best movie in my opinion
just4thelolz
Speculating about what his new life would be like was what mostly kept me thinking about this movie. Great movies do that. Keep you thinking
gladtoseeimontherighttrack
Besides getting the girl and going to Fiji? He could live on his fame for the rest of his life. Probably not have to sell insurance.
Although if he did go back to sell insurance, he would have been the most popular insurance agent ever. Granted, the competition is weak.

This film is a good explanation for post-modernism: If nothing in this world is real, then how can you know the one you escape to is real?

It’s a line from the movie
I know, bad sarcasm...
I know, clearly some trigglypuffs didn't realise haha

Lol
SpaceEagle63
One of the few Jim Carrey movies that I really like.
[deleted]
It is.
ThatGuyYouMetAndLikedJustKidding
I remember when it came out. Many people thought it would be ridiculous because of Jim’s previous acting. He surprised many.
Minifig
You think he's amazing in this, watch The Majestic..
YouHaveSomethingInYourTeeth
I absolutely loved that movie. Gonna have to watch it tonight now.
Carrey's career is really something else. He managed the jump to serious roles but never totally left his comedic roots. Pretty unique.
myuncutcocksmellsnice
I haven’t heard of this movie. I’ll have to check it out.
Stoneheartedlady
I thought he should have got an Oscar nom for it. He was superb.
BunburyBunburist
He didn't even get the nomination! Unbelievable.

Roberto Benigni won for Life is Beautiful. Carrey was up against some great talent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/71st_Academy_Awards

Liar liar is my favorite.

I remember the director had him do a bunch of retakes and asked him to dial it back.
TheRicM
I think Mr. Carey started the whole trend of comedians trying to do more serious roles. He nailed the transition the most imo
Flyndaran
Because he's so much older than Leslie Nielsen. /S
Shartifartfast
I was surprised at how well Adam Sandler adapted as well.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
As the other dude pointed out, Robin Williams
veryhairyarea
John c reily is good too
rbudrick
Boogie Nights.
Imightbethedroidyourelookingfor
Robin Williams was forwt, then Tom Hanks, then Carrey. There are probably others but those are the big ones. http://i.imgur.com/FmmlI61.gi
They made the transition too, but I think Jim’s was the most pronounced and most like night and day out of all of them. Also they
didn’t really start a trend like Jim did, which is what my comment mostly is about. Also I said imo in my comment so this is my opinion, thx
cktuba
Tom hanks was definitely before Jim. And before robin a bit.

Moscow on the Hudson w/Robin Williams predates anything Tom Hanks did.

Robin Williams comes to mind way before Jim Carrey

It was also the time when "Man on the Moon" came out which gave us another more dramatic peak-performance by him.

The Majestic was also very decent. I think that was an underrated film.
To be honest, I think Man on the Moon was. He nailed Andy Kaufman's personality to a tee. Though Truman Show is a close second for me.
tohubohu
Thanks for reminding me I need to watch this one

Did you watch the documentary "Jim & Andy"... holy shit... that thing changed Carrey,

I actually watched it the other day! Crazy how taking on that role may have helped him with some of own perceptions of himself.
