I must express my admiration for him at the very beginning. Because, in the process of watching this movie, I wanted to give up a few times, because I really can’t fully understand Andy Kaufman’s performance, but when I hold on for a while, I will be attracted to him again. I don't know what it is, but I just want to watch it.
Recently, I like it more and more. Don’t know too much about the content and background before watching a movie, especially don’t know the ending, because the movie should be prepared for those who don’t know anything about him. There is only this kind of feedback. Is the most real.
This is a biographical film about the life of American comedian Andy Kaufman. He is considered to be the most creative, unconventional and enigmatic entertainer in the 1950s and 1980s. Kaufman is good at driving the emotions of the audience, and the emotions of the audience are all tied to his performance. Whether it is taking the audience to drink milk and eat biscuits, or to compete with women, he has created a unique and authentic way of acting. Sometimes even his friends can’t tell which ones are real and which ones are fake. Critics have different opinions on him. Some people say that he is a skeptic, an unorthodox believer in Zen, and some people think that he is a Dada-style comedy, the first true performing artist. Kaufman likes to position himself as "a person who sings and dances." Therefore, the most appropriate description of him is "a real performance artist, a wrestling athlete, a comedian, Elvis, a folk singer, or like Tonic Rifton, a famous Las Vegas resident Singer".
The above words are all my comments on him collected after reading them. The following words are my feelings.
When a person truly combines his life with his dreams, his behavior may not be accepted by most people. After all, most people live a compliant life, and occasionally life is boring, just find something interesting to smile and have fun. However, there are always people who seem to be born with a mission, or God is winding a clockwork on him. He always has to continuously create effects, develop all the things that he thinks is interesting, and perform them. Is it to let more human bodies experience this kind of pleasure, or to get satisfaction from people's instinctive reaction, maybe he himself is not very clear.
Some people always say that comedians are usually clowns who entertain the audience by betraying the funny or their own misery. However, after watching this movie, I feel that the audience watching comedy is the complete clown. They laughed according to the arrangements of the actors, walked exactly at the pace of the actors, and were happily being played around. It's incredible. Andy is a crazy person, he is a person who makes people confused between performance and reality. He is acting, and everyone thinks it is true, but he tells the truth, but he is thought to be acting. Whether he succeeded or failed, from different angles, there should be different sadnesses!
In fact, when I see most of them, there is nothing special. I just think that Andy played by Jim Carrey is a crazy and funny actor. Everything about him is how funny he looks. In order to achieve his goal, he can ignore the opposition and objectivity of others. Under the pressure, insist on going its own way. However, a genius always encounters some kind of difficulty, and his difficulty is that God wants to take his life back in advance. At that moment, he confided to the audience very sincerely, but others could not tell what it was.
I disagree that Andy Kaufman is always a joke to the audience, even himself. He lives very seriously and sincerely. At the end of the film, when he was in the late stage of cancer, he went to the Philippines to find a "magic doctor" for treatment, only to discover that the "magic doctor"'s seemingly bizarre and mysterious medical skills turned out to be just a trick, he laughed. He seems to have found another joy.
In fact, life can be understood very simply, that is, one trick followed by another, depending on how you look at it. If you have to seriously set one, two, three, four for yourself, then you will live in other people's tricks. It's a pity that most people don't see it through, so comedians are needed to perform so that others can see the part. There are many handsome guys and beautiful women, but there are only two or three real comedians, because not all people have the talent to realize the true meaning of life.
I didn't particularly like Jim Carrey's previous movies. The famous "Monsters in Disguise" is just a pure comedy with grandstanding. In fact, he, and Hong Kong’s Stephen Chow, must also include many people who have become famous by comedy. They take life seriously, look at performances, and always try their best to show their inner sincerity in performances. They are all very deep. actor. Because, after all, the most difficult drama to perform is comedy.
