The extreme wine is chaos, the extreme happiness produces sorrow

This is a movie I watched many years ago. I bought a VCD by chance. Jim Carrey stood in front of the heavy red curtain, smiling like a puppet. The light gathered into a halo on his face. I know this is a biography of a person, a legend that was once active on the stage.

Andy Kaufman, the host of a show called Saturday Night Live. In the movie, Jim Carrey's proficient acting skills resurrected the weird genius on this stage. He was arrogant, conceited, and defiant. He mocked the audience time and time again in the show, and then slandered himself and pleased the audience when he played fire. He lost himself under the spotlight on the stage, the heavy curtain surrounded his world, and he became the man on the moon. Lonely and lonely. Only acting...

the line between genius and lunatic is too short to measure. The junction is so close that everyone ignores that he is an ordinary person. He was ill and fell into a terminal illness. Time is running out, and finally confessed to the audience. But in exchange for laughter as always, Andy suddenly realized that he was a talk show host, and everyone was used to taking his words as a joke. So he chose to remain silent until death.

At the end, I understand why Jim Carrey can be so devoted to acting. The original comedy, sadness comes from it when it sees the end. Laughing and cursing, joy and sorrow. Everything is done, but the words are not extreme, and the extreme declines.

Hello, My name is Andy and this is my poster
You don't know the real me......

Unfortunately, he didn't finish this sentence......
