      Saving it up and go to the moon

      It's the night I remembered to write a film review series

      Hello

      I'm Andy.

      And I would like to thank you for coming to my movie

      I wish it was better, you know

      But it was so stupid

      It's terrible, I don't even like it

      All of the most important things in my life are changed around and mixed up for dramatic purposes

      I decided to cut out all of the baloney

      Now the movie is much shorter

      In fact

      This is the end of the...

      Either lonely or vulgar

      I don't know why it should be classified as comedy, shouldn't it be classified as art? When Jim Carrey stared at his performance, he always felt very uncomfortable, not because his acting was bad, but because he was too good. I could clearly feel his painstaking efforts and hard work, and he was very sad. He always used to treat him with a playful heart. The world seems to be completely enjoying himself, but in fact he cares a lot about the world's attitude, and he has to flatter him. Santa's...

      The double interweaving of lonely tragedy and absurd comedy

      A bunch of spotlights, a red curtain, a fixed lens, a man who is slightly at a loss and has a strange pronunciation, like a clumsy clown entertaining passersby under the light loop, the spotlight is thrown from overhead and hits the actors. The light and shadow are like a full moon, guiding the audience into the well-designed comedy trap. The passers-by laughed and applauded, but no one noticed that the protagonist who made the curtain call under the...

      Life is like a play, let the show go on




           Each of us is working hard to perform.
           The audience (the relatives and friends around)
      and the director (all the morals and norms) are required to perform on this big stage (the

      intricate society). I'm really afraid that occasionally I can't remember a line, or I'm in a cold scene in a scene
           that should make the audience laugh .

      Efforts to keep talking, from expressions to actions and clothing temperament.

      There is an...

      Performance? Art? humor? Or crazy?

      In fact, I watched this movie for Jim Carrey. His movies always gave me a lot of thoughts, feelings, inspirations, and even recalled in my mind for a long time. Just like this movie, Jim Carrey is also in his own Every image is created in the movie, but we often ignore his true self. I don't think this is a pure comedy, from a child who loves acting to a breakthrough performance, there is no doubt that this is his art, in his grotesque performances, you can find that there are a few people who...

      After thinking about it, I decided to give it four stars, although it feels uncomfortable to be fooled from beginning to end, but this is also the success of this film. I was full of curiosity about Andy Kaufman himself, and wanted to find out more, but found that his life was all in this movie. Other than that, it's hard to find other information. If this is really a trick, judging from his age, he may still be alive, maybe that day will...

      I don't understand much of this man's humor, even disgust. But he finally said, this is a friendly world. - This man is real, do you believe...

    Movie plot

    As an actor, Andy Kaufman is successful. The "Weekend Live" program he hosts can easily make people hilarious, serious, or cry. This is a well-known aspect. However, the king of screens in reality has a little-known history, either bitterness or joy, life reflected in sadness and joy is meaningful. Andy Kaufman was born in 1949. Little is known about his life, because what people see is just one illusion after another on the screen. It...

    Behind-the-scenes

    The screenwriters of the film, Scott Alexander and Larry Kraszeski, are a pair of good friends, and they work together very well, even their voices are very similar.
    At the beginning, many actors were audited for the film, but the director and producer were greatly moved by the preparations of Kim Carey, so Kim Carey was cast as the leading actor.
    During the filming, Kim Carey not only asked everyone to call him Andy, but he also...

    Movie quotes

    • Ring Announcer: And introducing, at 191 pounds, the holder of the world intergender championship, here is Andy Kaufman!

    • Jerry "The King" Lawler: Right. Everything's a joke to this guy. Just like that thing. I don't know if that's a neck brace or a flea collar.

    • Andy Kaufman: I just... I think of the world as, as an illusion, and we shouldn't take ourselves so seriously.
