I wish they hadn't made "the Truman Show".

Why ?
Becasue they screwed up what could have been an absolutly brilliant movie and now noone is going to try it lest they be called copycat.

The pitch was fantastic. Boy in the Bubble overtones. It could have been a dark and bleak endictment of society instead of the half assed "oh look we like TV too much aren't we all bad as a society " crap thay gave us.

It could have been a telling deconstruction of the human physhe and how someone copes when the world they knew literally crumbles around them .

Dammit they could even have made a good comedy with this kind of material.

I would love to direct the Truman Show the way it should have been made.


So what about you ?
What movie could you have made a better job of ?

Oh just thought of another one.
Strange Days.
Actually a pretty great movie but I wish more had been made of the Mind Fuck device (you have to have seen it to know what Im taking about there)
