Typical Jin Carrey works

In addition to paying tribute to "Pulp Fiction," "The Variety Star" also borrows a lot of elements from this film, from the transformation ability to the orange outfit of the protagonist's clothes.

However, the exaggerated, crazy, criminal comedy performance style of Jim Carrey's transformation, I don't think there is a comedian in the world that can learn it. This is his unique temperament. For example, after the hilarious performance of knocking on the alarm clock in front of the landlord's door, there is no internal taste for others to perform.

Teasing street gangsters with super powers is also what Jin Carrey is good at. In this film, he uses balloon dolls to tease him. In "Fake God", he has transformed monkeys from gangsters ass, but this one seems to be more funny.

Jim Carrey has portrayed several typical characters, one is extremely exaggerated, crazy, superman-like comedy characters, the "Detective Plane" series, this work and "Batman Forever" are the masterpieces of this genre; second One is the office worker in the city, with the emotions and desires that ordinary people have, but also has a very crazy and funny side. The representative works are "The King of Words" and "The Fake God"; the third is the same as the first, and it is an alternative role—— Exaggerated, crazy, funny fools/lunatics, the representative work is the "Dumb and Agua" series, a popular reposted video "head shaking trio" on an entertainment video website; the fourth kind is kind, sensitive, and philosopher-like "Big Boy", his masterpieces are "The Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Heart" and "The World of Truman".

However, the first to third characters seem to have the shadow of the fourth "big boy" in their bones-and only unfettered big boys can have such crazy and unscrupulous funny behaviors, right?

In addition to being the masterpiece of the first category of works above, "Ghost in Disguise" has several other singing and dancing elements that are not available, and its performance is very good, so its score should be higher than that of "Detective Plane Head" etc. Some.

Mr. Bean is also my favorite comedian, but his style is more specific. Doudou's comedy performance in "Mr. Bean" also has an exaggerated and crazy side, but it's not as crazy (sometimes evil) as Jim Carrey, and a lot of clumsy and self-deprecating embarrassment.

The Mask quotes

  • The Mask: Je t'adore. Je t'window. I don't care!

  • Stanley Ipkiss: [explaining how The Mask works] It's like it brings your innermost desires to life. If deep down you're a little repressed, and a hopeless romantic, you become some kind of love-crazy wild man.

    Tina Carlyle: And if you're someone like Dorian?

    Stanley Ipkiss: Then we're all in big trouble. And if I were you, I'd get out of town, fast.
