Jim's drama

Reyna 2021-12-25 08:01:06

I watched a movie "Movie Life" starring JIM CARREY on the movie channel last night. This is one of the few JIM dramas I have ever seen. Without the exaggerated body language in "Detective Plane", JIM started acting with his eyes.
Probably because this is JIM’s first drama, or because he was too accustomed to his super funny way of acting before, suddenly I saw that he no longer winked, but said lines in a serious manner. I was really a bit uncomfortable, I always feel that Very strange, but to be honest, JIM's acting skills can still be topped. After all, the Golden Globe Award is not something that anyone can get.
The content of the story is actually not new, and even a bit old-fashioned. From the inside, you can always see a little shadow of "Paradise Cinema". What is new is JIM: the proud JIM, the disillusioned JIM, the affectionate JIM, the impassioned JIM, Crying JIM... I was even touched by what I saw.
In my impression, JIM seems to have only three serious movies in total, "The World of Truman", "The Man on the Moon", and this is it, but if you look closely, "On the Moon" "The Man" is a lot less constricted than the nose of a plane, but it is still full of noise. In comparison, the quietest film is probably the "Movie Life".

Speaking of this topic, I really don’t know how to translate it, so it’s better to just translate it literally: Brilliant. At least it gives people a sense of dignity, after all, this is not a tragedy. The translation of "Film Life" is much worse, with more than vicissitudes of life, lack of joy, and a bit regrettable.
The ending song seems to be a song "I remember you" by George Michael. It sounds like, probably, there is no verification. I even bought a George Michael CD back then, but I don’t know who took it to me. Since then, there is no news.

The Majestic quotes

  • Peter Appleton: I'm sorry... but it occurs to me that there is a bigger issue today than whether or not I'm a Communist.

    Elvin Clyde: Bigger issue? Mr. Appleton, there 'is' no bigger issue.

    Peter Appleton: Actually, not to be contrary, I think there is... Gosh, I don't quite know what to say.

    [Peter takes a drink of water]

    Peter Appleton: The fact is I... I've never been a man of great conviction. I never saw the percentage in it... and quite frankly, I suppose I, uh... lacked the courage. See, I'm not like Luke Trimble. He had the market cornered on those things. I never met the guy, but I feel like I've gotten to know him. The thing is, I can't help wondering what he'd say... if he were standing here right now. You know, I think what I think he'd probably tell you: the America represented in this room... is not the America he died defending.

    [the crowd noise in the background rises]

    Peter Appleton: I think he'd tell you your America is bitter...

    [Congressman Doyle begins banging his gavel]

    Peter Appleton: and cruel... and small.

    Congressman Doyle: The chamber will come to order!

    Peter Appleton: I know for a fact that his America was big... bigger than you could imagine... with a wide open heart

    [Congressman Doyle bangs the gavel again]

    Peter Appleton: ... where every person...

    Congressman Doyle: Mr. Appleton! You are out of order!

    Peter Appleton: [Speaking over Congressman Doyle] ... has a voice! Even if you don't like what they have to say.

    Congressman Doyle: Enough, Sir! You are out of order!

    Peter Appleton: If he 'were' here, I wonder how you'd respond... if you could explain to him what happened to his America.

    Congressman Doyle: Mr. Appleton, you are skating on the very thin edge of contempt.

    Peter Appleton: Well that's the first thing I've heard today that I completely agree with!

    Kevin Bannerman: Mr. Chairman... Mr. Chairman... Mr. Chairman... Mr. Chairman, my client is clearly under an enormous strain as a direct result of the belligerent questioning of Mr. Clyde, and he is therefore not responsible for his comments. At this time, we wish to invoke the Fifth Amendment.

    Peter Appleton: No, no we don't.

    Kevin Bannerman: Yes, Pete, we do.

    Peter Appleton: No, Kevin, we don't, so knock it off!

    [pounds his fist on the table for punctuation, quieting the crowd]

    Peter Appleton: [in a quieter voice] Just shut the hell up and let me get through this.

    Studio Executive: What about the kid?

    Studio Executive: What kid?

    Studio Executive: You know, the kid who rings the bell.

    Studio Executive: What kid? What bell? What are you talking about?

    Studio Executive: The kid. After the mine caves in. The kid. He runs up the hill. He rings the bell to alert the town.

    Studio Executive: Is that in the script? What page are we on?

    Studio Executive: What if we gave the kid - a disease.

    Studio Executive: A disease?

    Studio Executive: A *disease*. Braces on the legs, that sort of thing.

    Studio Executive: But he runs up the hill.

    Studio Executive: He could hobble.

    Studio Executive: Hobble is good.
