Thalsamayam Truman Show
I have written a post abut the English title trend in Malayalam films released in 2011.This trend seems to continue in 2012 also.Starting with 'Second show',list includes Ordinary,Bachelor Party and many more.There is a Malayalam movie is going to be hit the screens this year, with a beautiful Malayalam title-"Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty".(with my limited knowledge in English,I would translate this as 'A Girl on Live')!.Here is the trailer
It's a movie about the 'reality' television shows .Sounds interesting.That one line plot reminds me about another movie" The Truman Show"
Truman Burbank has lived his entire life, since before birth, in front of cameras for The Truman Show, although he is unaware of this fact. Truman's life is filmed through thousands of hidden cameras, 24 hours a day and broadcast live around the world, allowing executive producer Christof to capture Truman's real emotion and human behavior when put in certain situations. Truman's hometown of Seahaven is a complete set built under a giant arcological dome, populated by the show's actors and crew, allowing Christof to control every aspect of Truman's life, even the weather. To prevent Truman from discovering his false reality, Christof has invented means of dissuading his sense of exploration, including "killing" his father in a storm while on a fishing trip to instill in him a fear of the water, and making many news reports and 'adverts' about the dangers of travelling, and featuring television shows about how good it is to stay at home. However, despite Christof's control, Truman has managed to behave in unexpected manners, in particular falling in love with an extra, Sylvia or known to Truman as Lauren, instead of Meryl, the character intended to be his wife. Though Sylvia is removed from the set quickly, her memory still resonates with him, and he 'secretly' thinks of her outside of his marriage to Meryl. Sylvia is part of a "Free Truman" campaign that fights to have Truman freed from the show.(from wikipedia page).
What attracted me more is the climax of the film,where Truman escapes to the real world.I've seen Jim Carrey in some other films like Bruce Almighty and i liked it a lot.But this is truly a classic.
