Th Truman Show, written by Andrew Niccol and directed by Peter Weir, was shot in Seaside, Florida and at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. Much of the style of the clothing, vehicles, and homes was inspired by the work of Norman Rockwell, giving it a distinct late 1950s to early 1960s feel.
While the film did not win any awards, it was nominated for recognition at the 71st Academy Awards, the 56th Golden Globe Awards, the 52nd British Academy Film Awards, and The Saturn Awards. The Truman Show has been widely analyzed for themes of Christianity and Existentialism. It has found much relevance in the rise of reality television, making it an important work to explore today.
