(1) The Man on the Moon "Man on the Moon". A movie starring Jim Carrey. The movie tells the life experience of the legendary comedian Andy Kaufman. Andy Kaufman's life is only 35 years. It is this short 35 years that people have left many different comments on him. Some people say that he is a skeptic and an unorthodox Zen believer; others think that he is a Dadaist comedian, the first true performing artist. But Kaufman would rather position himself as "a person who sings and dances." Logically, Kaufman's evaluation of himself should be the most appropriate and in place. Unfortunately, this evaluation is obviously too straightforward and superficial. In my own opinion, Kaufman is a person with multiple and changeable personalities. These personalities are so conflicting and cannot coexist that he has to resort to acting-this terrible profession. Acting is a terrible profession, and I am not alarmist in saying this. Imagine asking a person to temporarily separate from the life environment he is used to, to enter another complete stranger's life scene and ask him to behave like that person’s nature. This is like "The Thirteenth Floor". Absurd. He completely ignored the adhesion of the human mind to the surrounding environment. Of course, drama is a complex cultural and psychological phenomenon that cannot be explained clearly in a few words. But it is certain that acting as Kaufman's profession, it also happened to give him an opportunity to stretch out various personalities, enabling him to fully express his multiple personalities. At the same time, since acting is his job, he doesn't have to face the pain of his various personality conflicts in daily life, but can take the opportunity of acting for granted to release him, gaining relief and peace of mind. For example, in the film, in addition to appearing as Kaufman himself, he also repeatedly named Tony. Lipton's rogue appeared. This Lifton, vulgar language, grumpy, reckless performance, nonsense, is completely different from the usual introverted, restrained, and even neurotic Kaufman. In fact, each of us has a potential for destruction, a little bit of rascals, the tendency and impulse to break away from common sense, but most people only show a little when alone, narcotic or angry. Kaufman is much luckier, he can show them while working. But he is also much more unfortunate, because his behavior will only magnify and deepen the originally insignificant personality differences step by step. He lived like this, enjoying himself, and happily accepting the novelty and excitement brought about by switching between different personalities. Kaufman took pleasure in deceiving others. In his wrestling match with women, he was broken his neck by a strong man. Who knows, this is a scam he colluded with Hercules. On another occasion, he insisted on adding snowflakes and jumping up and down to the show tape, just to get the audience to reach out and tap their TV to see if the TV was broken. His mischief led to such a consequence: When he told people around him that he had cancer and soon died, most people sneered at him, and his friends kindly advised him to stop this kind of mischief and stop deceiving others. . Andy. When Kaufman died, he was only 35 years old. 2. Comedy and Tragedy is a movie starring a comedy star and tells the story of another comedy star. We naturally have a habitual expectation: even if it is not a pure comedy, at least it has a lively plot. However, I didn't expect that this turned out to be a serious drama, even a tragedy. This situation is a bit like a Journey to the West. When I first saw it, everyone thought it was an excellent comedy; a few years later, everyone said it was a love tragedy. So, it seems that comedy and tragedy are not as obvious as imagined, and even the two can be combined in the same play. In fact, it is not only the drama itself, but also the actors who are the material carriers of the drama. It is difficult to say whether their experience is a comedy or a tragedy. I saw an interview with Zhou Xingchi a long time ago. To my surprise, the difference between Stephen Chow in life and the film Chow is so huge. In front of the camera, he has a cautious expression, a slow speaking rate, and frowned brows. There is no trace of the presumptuous and irritating Zhou Xingchi in the movie. He already has white hair on his head, and I would rather think that it's all exhausted ingenuity. Which is more difficult to engage in comedy or tragedy? Personally think comedy is more difficult. Some parts of the comedy are like the moves performed on the Saint Seiya, and they lose their effect the second time. The same life and death in the tragedy, even if staged many times, is still touching. Therefore, comedy creators must exhaust their brains and come up with new tricks. It's hard to make one laugh, but easy to make one cry. If we go back to the source, all of this stems from human nature, from the great fear of death and disaster buried deep in the human soul. Happiness is always short, but pain can last forever. Joy is like a little fishing fire on the dark ocean under the night sky, and a huge wave can gently wipe them away. When you see the death of others, you can't help but think of yourself. Comedians are like a group of chased people. They had to race against themselves, because they couldn't repeat themselves, and they were exhausted because of it. This is one of their tragedies. The derogation of their acting skills by orthodox comments is their second tragedy. Traditional critics always regard theatrical actors as a group of people who can only wink their eyes and behave badly, no matter what efforts they make. Comedy stars who bring people joy, their destiny is buried deep in their own tragedy. In fact, it is more than them. In everyone's life, I think tragedy is always greater than comedy. The beginning is the noise of the full moon banquet, and the end is always the sadness of funeral sorrow. The prologue is a comedy, and the ending is a tragedy; the plot is a comedy, and the connotation is a tragedy; the actor is a comedy, and the audience is a tragedy. At the back of the film, in order to find the last hope of saving lives, Kaufman went to the Philippines to find the so-called "genius doctor." He watched the "genius doctor" catch the "tumors" for several patients, but accidentally discovered that these "tumors" were secretly hidden in the palms of the hands of the "genius doctor" before turning around. Kaufman laughed silently. It was an incredibly peaceful and piercing smile. At that moment, he had realized it. The efforts he made throughout his life were nothing more than attempts to set off a few waves on the sad sea. His audience and himself, just like the patients under the "general doctor", are just a group willing to be deceived. Life is short, no one can live forever. 3. On the moon, Kaufman and his girlfriend are lying on the bed. Girlfriend: You are a complicated person. Kaufman: This is the real me. Girlfriend (laughing): There is no real you in the world. In fact, both people are right. For a person with multiple personalities, the complexity and variability of his personality are his own greatest characteristics and the foundation of his personality. If you want to grasp this person, I am afraid you can only start from this point. However, if he breaks down his character, then he can only show the only aspect of his character at a certain moment. Since these sides all represent him, which one is the real him? Maybe you can choose several personalities as a dominant one, but which one can be called his representative? You can choose "Both", because these aspects really belong to him; you can also choose "Neither", because any one of them is just a separate part. Sean said that talking to me in life and reading my articles on the Internet feel like two people. A certain mm said, chatting with me, and reading my articles, the difference is really big. I think this seems very funny: I outside the net is different from the one inside the net, and I who chat and write articles are not the same. These are undoubtedly all me, and none of these are me. So, where am I? I think that a person with multiple personalities will first of all be a person with extreme feelings about life. In our lives, there are many relative factors: right and wrong, right and wrong, rising and falling. In ordinary people, especially those who are the same on the outside, they have become fused, and their personality can be measured by concepts like solution concentration or alloy composition. This is not the case for people with multiple personalities. In them, although these attributes coexist, they will never break the boundaries of each other and merge into one. They prefer to treat each simple attribute of life in a simple way: right is right, wrong is wrong, righteous to treat righteousness, and evil to treat evil. The allure of multiple personalities is huge. At the moment of personality change, it seems to jump out of one person's body and enter another, and you can experience a different kind of life. The temptation to experience many different life situations in a single life process is truly unstoppable. More than once, I let different souls enter my body. At that time, I seemed to be walking on a high and barren cliff, but I could drift across a huge section and a dark abyss as soft as the wind. I prefer to show an unusual self in front of strangers. Looking at the attitude they might not use to treat me, listening to the words they might not say to me, I hid in Clifton's body, very happy. Of course, this joy must have a proper price. Because it touched a fundamental contradiction: the innocence and uniqueness of the human body and the numerous changes in personality. No matter what kind of personality you say or whatever you do, in the end all this will fall on your only body. People will never question your character, they are only looking for you. After learning that he had cancer, Kaufman told his friends the news. As a result, except for his girlfriend who was nervous because he cared about him, the rest, including his closest partner, were dismissive or dumbfounded, asking him not to continue to lie. The reason is obvious: Kaufman has lied to them so many times, and this time they can only rely on inertia to judge. Should they be blamed? Of course not. They should not be blamed most. Their response is absolutely correct. Even in reality, similar stories are being staged. Jim Carrey's two major dramas "Truman Show" and "Man on the Moon" had unsatisfactory box office results and received bad reviews. However, this year he returned to the crazy and funny "Me, Melf& "Irene", such a nonsense film, but the box office hit a triumphant song. The reason is simple: the audience has become accustomed to his old appearance, and they don't like Kerry's new business. They couldn't see Kerry's efforts to get the recognition of the Oscar, they couldn't see Kerry even went to live in his former residence for a few months in order to play Kaufman well. All they want is the original Kerry, all they want is his facial distortion, all they want is his dancing. Someone will magnify my performance to my people. Some people will deny my sense of responsibility because of my wild waves, and some people will not see my vulgarity when they see my articles. However, does being alive mean that you must solidify yourself? Maybe everyone is dedicated to giving others a definite impression, maybe being the same on the outside is a kind of good character, but I want to take a big jump in the dance to get rid of the labels that are all over my body. I can make a promise so that people won't notice me. I can be radiant so that people will notice me. I can be fine, because it doesn't matter. I can be bad because I don't care. When a person steps on the moon, what else should he care about?
