Happy Birthday, Peter Weir! May your day be as perfectly orchestrated as Truman Burbank's morning greetings—minus the hidden cameras and suspicious neighbors. Your visionary storytelling in "The Truman Show" continues to captivate audiences, reminding us all to occasionally glance upward and wave at imaginary viewers.From directing Robin Williams' inspiring antics in "Dead Poets Society" to Harrison Ford's thrilling escape in "Witness," you've masterfully guided cinematic journeys that linger long after the credits roll. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with genuine surprises—not scripted ones—and that no one secretly broadcasts your cake-eating adventures. Cheers to another year of authentic moments!
