"Steel Magnolias" was good because it was both a comedy and a drama.
I hope you like "The Truman Show" when you see it. For some reason, a lot of people didn't like it, but I LOVED it. You have to understand the premise that everything Truman does is being filmed without his knowledge for a TV show called "The Truman Show." I don't think I'm giving away anything by telling you that. It probably says that on the jacket cover. There's a lot of symbolism in the movie. There are themes of self-realization, becoming true to oneself, shattered illusions, survival of the spirit. Truman = True Man, imo.
