It's an adventure movie, and its conflict thrills as much as an action movie.
But it's a spiritual, literal, performer's adventure. The comedian pursues "no breaking, no standing" to the extreme - all seriousness can be broken, political correctness, life and death can be joked. Even the stage in the play, the reality in the play, and the film itself are constantly breaking themselves, constantly weaving lies one after another with twists and turns, making fun of all the audience inside and outside the play. If "real" is relaxing and safe, Andy is on pins and needles. This kind of thing has long put aside the comfortable jokes to please the general public, but constantly collides with the boundaries of art and explores the extreme. The boundaries between true and false have long been blurred, and all the boundaries that can be seen are gone, not even this screen. The climax of the overall situation is that when the lies and teasing have exhausted the audience and made Andy's life fall into the predicament of the wolf, he finally got a real positive energy from the cancer. And the final resurrection ending broke this "true feeling". From beginning to end, there is no reality, and your momentary respite is also carefully choreographed.
I tend to think that Andy is dead, but his death has to be ripped apart, only to bring back the masked Tony. This is the necessity to ensure the integrity of the concept, it is Andy's stubbornness and uncompromising out of the play, it is the sincere hope of the screenwriter, it is the blank of suspense, and it is the best and only ending.
Jim Carrey is a comedian. Also called adventurer, philosopher.
