When the time came to the end of April, Truman's world finally ushered in his premiere.xstxt.org

This Levy-directed, Jim Carrey-starring, Mystery Company produced, and Columbia-released film has already attracted a lot of attention from the days it began to be promoted. This is the first time to work with an actor with good box office appeal to make a movie, and it is also quite curious to see what kind of effect Levy's film, coupled with Jim Carrey's acting skills, will cause.

"It's the hardest movie I've ever made." At the premiere, Jim Carrey's secret smile was also one of the topics of the media, "Levidu is about to drive me crazy, and it gives me a lot of pressure during the performance, and it's really not easy to shoot it." I became a comedian just to show my true self, but in this play, I really have to 'act' with my heart. ”

Jim Carrey's words, the media are still more convinced. In the previously announced promotional video, they have also seen Jim Carrey's performance in this play. In the play, Jim Carrey's usual wild acting style has been corrected a lot - in fact, this is one of the important reasons why people are interested, people are curious to know what the movie will look like.

Even when the lights in the movie theater dimmed, people were still talking. But when Columbia's logo appeared on the movie, everyone fell silent.

Then, subtitles appeared on the movie, but the words in the subtitles surprised the audience.

In the subtitles of the movie, it is not Jim Carrey who plays Truman, and the director is not Levy. In the subtitles, Truman plays himself, and the director is Christopher - such subtitles make people surprised at once.

What's going on? Didn't you say, this is a Levy and Jim Carrey movie?

However, in people's doubts. appeared in front of the camera, but it was Jim Carrey. Apparently, he was standing in the bathroom, arranging his clothes in front of the mirror, like someone who gets up every morning to get ready for work.

What's going on? The audience was a little surprised, but since the movie was not mistaken, it was okay to watch it.

"Today will also be a good day, look at yourself, you are still as handsome today. Even I'm starting to like you myself, you're amazing......"

Standing in front of the mirror, Truman arranges his clothes and speaks to the mirror, these almost self-suggestive words, although they look ordinary, but when they come out of Jim Carrey's mouth, they have a different effect. Watching the comedy master perform an ordinary pre-work self-suggestive little character, people also put a smile on their faces: some people are just able to do it in simple details. It shows its unique charm.

"Truman!"

His wife's voice rang out, and Truman sighed, his countenance collapsed in an instant, and he had just made a very attractive look. Completely disappeared in this moment.

"Have a great day." Truman said a word to himself in the mirror, and when he walked out of the bathroom, his face had changed to a daily smile, and he walked out of the bathroom. After kissing his delicate wife who came over him, his day officially began.

Levy's biggest purpose when filming this segment. is to make Truman in the movie show enough personality charm - a charismatic protagonist can make people chase the movie on. And Jim Carrey's mature performance has done this very well: from the humor at the beginning, to the subsequent self-encouragement, to the gentle smile when he met his wife, in just a short performance, he has shown three different demeanors.

Moreover, none of these three demeanors is the kind of crazy performance he is used to in his daily life, and Jim Carrey has proven that this movie is extraordinary from the very beginning of the movie.

After kissing his wife goodbye, Truman stepped out of the house. After this paragraph, people already know that he has a pretty good family and a beautiful wife. Then, when he walked out of the sword gate, he immediately greeted his neighbors.

"In case I can't see you in the future, I wish you good morning, noon and evening."

Truman greeted his neighbors, and as he spoke, a very formulaic smile appeared on his face. Obviously, whether it is in front of his wife or in front of his neighbors, Truman's life is perfect, but this perfect life is also a little bland.

And at this time, the lamps that fell directly from the sky made the movie, which should have been relatively bland, suddenly changed.

This must have been the key prop of the film's turning point - almost all the audience had already had such an idea in their minds. Although Truman's car radio said that it was an airplane part, the audience did not believe it at all.

In people's eyes, the key to the turning point of the movie must be here.

However, this prop was not used, Truman walked all the way from the door of the house to the outside, and Jim Carrey also met all kinds of people along the way, and he kept saying hello. The camera of the movie follows him almost all the time, and, under Levy's deliberate arrangement, the camera has always been very stable, except for a few fixed shots shooting him buying magazines and stopping to talk, the other shots follow the camera.

Then, he was in the office on the phone, in contact with others, and quietly tearing out pictures in magazines, all of which showed the charm of Truman's work, and the shots were just as smooth. However, careful observers have noticed that in the fixed shot of Truman, there is a shield in front of Truman.

This kind of filming technique is what Levy used in the eavesdropping storm - using occlusions to make the audience feel like they are peeping at the characters in the play. Levy did not choose to deliberately shoot from a specific weird angle to highlight the candid effect as in the original film, he chose to use the lens to make the audience in front of the movie called a voyeur, so that the audience is truly immersive.

The film director's lens speaks, and the use of the camera is the most important part of the film. Truman's world is an interesting story, but some of the too crude techniques of the original film, Levy has to change.

The story is still going on, and the fact that he is sent to work at the docks exposes his fear of water because his father died in a shipwreck. Then, when he returned home, while he was building the lawn, his wife pointed out that he was not doing a good job, if we say in the previous paragraph. has always shown Truman's excellent words, then, from the time he entered the company, the movie seems to have exposed all kinds of Truman's troubles.

Truman, who exposed his troubles, naturally went to relax. Hang out with friends, that's how he relaxes.

"This is beer." Holding a beer can in his hand, Marlon specially raised it, revealing an aftertaste expression, before handing Truman a can. Truman sat next to him. The two of them were smiling and chatting.

"Have you ever thought about going to Fiji one day?"

In the movie, Truman asked the most important question, facing Malone, he told in detail where Fiji is and his dream of going to Fiji. And Marlon, who was opposite him, listened to his words, laughing while only softly advising him to dispel this stupid idea.

Truman accepted his friend's advice with a smile on his face. But after saying goodbye to his friends, he drove to the beach and sat alone on the beach in a daze.

Sitting on the beach, Truman remembered his high school. To be precise, he was thinking about his high school sweetheart. Although he and his wife met in high school, he had a girl he loved more than his wife. It's a pity. From beginning to end, he only asked the girl out once, and this only date was halfway through. The girl was dragged away by her father, and the words she left behind were only words that people couldn't understand.

"They're all lying to you, none of this is true!"

Truman's words when the girl left could not be understood, but this did not prevent him from remembering the name Fiji in his heart.

Truman's life has always been happy at the beginning of the movie, with a loving wife, a happy family, good relationships, and a good job. But here, his troubles also appeared: his work was not going well, his father died in a shipwreck, and the girl he loved most left him...... These afflictions are not the afflictions of a hero, but only the afflictions of a mortal. And it is these troubles that are the most relatable.

The rain that fell from the sky fell on Truman's head, and Truman raised his head and found that only his own head was raining. And when he tried to dodge, the whole sky was already pouring rain.

This shot looks like a goof, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find: the rain is a sign of bad luck, this is just a symbol, but I don't know, how can such a symbol be so straightforward in the movie?

Puzzled, the audience watched as Truman returned home. When he returned home, Truman once again mentioned to his wife the Fiji of his dreams. But this time, all he got was a mockery and questioning.

Everything together seemed to be just telling him that the so-called Fiji was nothing more than a wild dream that he could not realize. In the face of such a thing, all Truman can do is open his basement, sit in the basement, face the scarf left by his ex-girlfriend, and use the model's photo to spell out the silhouette of the girl in his dreams.

The front and back of the movie are also connected here. Truman's life seems to be perfect but not perfect, he likes to tear paper and dream of Fiji because he has the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, he, like most small people, has a hard time making up his mind to change his life.

His life is an ordinary life.

But his life is destined to be different: the lamp that fell in mid-air, the girl's words before leaving, the strange opening of the movie, and the rain poured on his body, also gave the audience an intuition that his life would definitely change.

The details of the movie can hint at the audience. Using details to guide the film is also the effect that Levy wants.

Only, what will this change be? The audience didn't pay attention, they have been brought to the voyeur's perspective by the setting of the camera, and they are just more concerned about Truman's life at this time. (To be continued......)
