Minisode // The Truman Show

Published: April 23, 2022, 2:25 a.m.

It was teased a few months ago, the thought that we would bring mini-podcasts to this feed, usually recorded individually, and hopefully kept to a shorter amount of time. Jacob watched a classic "TV cart" movie, The Truman Show starring Jim Carrey, Ed Harris, and Laura Linney. This isn't your typical review though, Jacob spends very little time on any of the technical aspects of the movie, instead, he talks about what he thinks the true religious allegories are behind the film, most critics bring up the creation story from Genesis. Jacob disagrees. He also makes a comparison between this movie and Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1958), which may have been the first time that has ever happened in history. 

This movie was directed by Peter Weir.
