Between true and false

What is true and what is false? Is there a world of difference between life and acting?
Andy Kaufman, a comedy star played by Jim Carrey, is a character that is both real and imaginary. He walks between reality and games, treats the audience as the props of the show, and plans wonderful performances. And have fun with your partner. He made up characters that did not exist in reality, and he was still able to play the two roles with ease; he directed the passionate collision with the wrestling prince, laughing and scolding. In fact, Andy's life itself is full of drama, so complicated that it is difficult for others to see and ponder. Even when he told his partner and girlfriend that he had lung cancer, everyone expressed varying degrees of doubt and speculation. He was addicted to religious retreats, and when he was lying on the hospital bed of Daxian in the Philippines at the last moment of his life, he suddenly laughed out loud.
The funeral was full of warmth. There was a video on the big screen. Andy, who never thought of himself as a comedian, led everyone to sing, so that they could rely on each other to feel warmth and strength. I've been expecting maybe he'll come out of the coffin, death is just another show. However, Andy should and did leave...
From the beginning of his imitation of Elvis until the newcomer imitated him, the story about Andy finally came to an end.
PS: The beginning of the film is very creative. It starts with Andy's strange behavior and the subtitles at the end. Suddenly it is dark. After N seconds, Andy's head sticks out from the left side of the screen and starts to tell his story...
Jin .Kerry's acting is really amazing!
