But I have lived.

I don't understand why the title is "Man on the Moon".

But now I understand a little bit, it should refer to the "man in the spotlight", when the spotlight shines, it looks like a moon, and this man is on the moon.

Maybe the rhythm is really messed up. But this guy is a lot like a real comedian, a lot like Jim Carrey himself. A comedian can't always be the same as always behind the hippie smile, he may be violent, he may have a split personality, he may bully the weak.

But it is also possible that it is all pretense. He is dedicated to comedy, and he releases himself in it, let it go, completely, like a bomb that explodes without leaving a single fragment, and is completely wiped out.

And then came death, and he made so many unexpected jokes to the world that God came to make fun of him.

He woke up. In the end, the damage to the world was turned into laughter and milk cookies on Christmas Eve.

At that moment, he realized that it was enough and it was worth it.

I think Andy's real disillusionment was when he saw the strange object in the hands of the Filipino genius doctor. He finally realized that it was all self-deception. He thought the whole world was happy, but only himself was happy. The world is so hypocritical.

He laughed.

I actually heard about Eason's "Man on the Moon" before I found out about the movie (there is almost no relationship between the two).

"There's no need to be happy, you'll die in the morning anyway."
