I watched this old movie with Mr. Zhang last night. Although I have watched Jin Carrey’s "Trumen's World" and I was very impressed, through Mr. Zhang’s introduction, I watched this old movie of 2003 together, and I went back to do my homework about Jim Carrey and got a deeper understanding of the legendary Hollywood comedian.
Let me talk about the movie, a typical American comedy, with a short period of one hour and forty minutes. The plot is compact and clear, but the image of the protagonist is very full. The feeling I watched the whole process is that the more I watch it, the more smooth it is, the more I am surprised when I watch it. At the end of the film, I only feel happy and beautiful. This is a masterpiece written for every ordinary small but unique person.
The male protagonist Bruce is such an ordinary existence, doing a good job, having goals and dreams, but there is always resistance; with a loving partner, love becomes life in the days when we get along, day after day In the ordinary days, things as small as trivial matters as large as the meaning of life can be the material of quarrels; in life, even the toilet problem of pets is a stumbling block to prevent Bruce from being happy. When all the seemingly unsatisfactory bits and pieces gathered at a certain moment in time and space, the male protagonist Bruce began to doubt life, questioning the existence and meaning of the gods.
Yes, this kind of questioning is so familiar. You must have thought about it in a certain period of extreme disappointment and sadness—"God, are you kidding me, God, do you exist? If there is, why am I not so? Being loved, why can’t I see my heart’s expectations, if it exists, why my hard work and hardship have been ignored, God, you can’t see my pain and tears, why do you give me so much injustice, and the meaning of moving forward? Where and why is all this?".
This kind of inner cry has been experienced by every ordinary us, but we rarely think about what would happen if God really heard it, and what would happen if God satisfies all our prayers. And this masterpiece is through the male lead, taking us back to such a dream together. It is impossible to say whether it is a dream or a nightmare, but in the dream, we see the hero who became the queen of God, opening Pandora’s box at the initial stage, as if it was opened, wishing to become omnipotent, regaining belonging My own work, revenge against the enemy, and even pick the moon and paint the stars for my lover, everything looks so beautiful.
However, while becoming a god, he also has an important task, which is to deal with all the prayers of the world without affecting people's subjective consciousness. Bruce, annoyed by the noisy prayers, can't sleep well, and can't even accompany the hostess to a good meal in the romantic restaurant. The male protagonist, who was a god for the first time, was flustered and irritated, and even used the system to agree to all people's prayers. The butterfly effect came, the number of lottery winners soared, and people began to turbulent demonstrations. Of course, the over-excellent male protagonist also ushered in "admirers". In the chaos of time and space, the female protagonist misunderstood the male protagonist and left the male protagonist after cheating.
The story also ushered in a climax at this time. Bruce, who seems to have everything, finds that even though he possesses divine power, he cannot save his lover. He starts to be confused. The true god appears and continues to remind him that divine power is not omnipotent, and divine power cannot affect people. His subjective consciousness, true prayer, is not greed or complaining, but something that the heart really cares about and desires after all the impetuosity is faded. And these things are often the subjective consciousness of people, which leads to the classic saying "you are your own god."
After the epiphany grew up, the male protagonist returned to the system and saw that the lover’s daily prayers were all about herself. In the corners where she could not see each other’s hearts, she loved herself so much, and wished him well when she loved her heart as dust. . The male protagonist who was so touched returned to the sky, and after meeting the gods, he finally learned to pray truly, and he also returned all the opening and hanging achievements one by one. Of course, the male protagonist who dreamed of this experience has grown quietly. All the unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory things have gradually disappeared.
At the end of the film, no matter whether you are happy or not, you will definitely be grateful. I am grateful for the flowers and grasses of this world, for all the past, for everything that is about to happen, for all the company and separation, and of course, I am also grateful to meet this work at such an appropriate time.
Mr. Zhang told me that Jim Carrey is the idol of Chinese comedy master Stephen Chow. This statement aroused my curiosity about Jim Carrey. It was only through searching information that he was one of the 25 highest-grossing actors in Hollywood history, especially in comedy. On the one hand, almost every one is a masterpiece of high quality. However, at the peak of his career, as such a successful comedian, he suffered from severe depression. Perhaps the core of comedy is tragedy. He amused a lot of people, but he was stuck in a quagmire and couldn’t perceive happiness. A sense of loneliness almost swallowed this superstar. Depressed people are sensitive souls who wear masks for too long, unless Depressed people can learn to fight spontaneously and learn to say no. It is through painting that Jin Carey gradually learns to face the gloom, use another kind of art to fight back to life, and regain practical happiness.
Life is not black and white. There is no happiness and bad luck forever. People who like comedy and humor must have experienced too much suffering in life, so they healed those around them in the process of healing the inner ones. People who are negatively depressed will also have many stars in their unbearable lives. At this moment, I can’t help but think of Mr. Yang Jiang’s words, “We had so longed for the waves of destiny, but in the end we discovered that the most beautiful scenery in life is the calm and peaceful heart.” Just like this film, if we can’t help. You are all going well, so I hope you can not let go of your expectations and continue to live happily and without regrets.
