Jim Carrey becomes a dog-blood screenwriter and reshapes life: "Forget Who I Am" (also known as "Movie Life") story outline

When the screenwriting industry was still making money, Appleton (Jim Carrey), a screenwriter developed in Hollywood, went smoothly. As a big-name screenwriter, he has no dreams, he wants to make money for girls. In order to make money, he doesn't care about fame, and all dramas that are criticized by film critics. Don't think that Appleton is a tool that only makes money. Others work for life, and he works to a large extent for picking up girls.

The yearning for picking up girls and a decent life has become the original motivation for Appleton to be willing to be ravaged by Hollywood producers.

A rich man once joked with his friend. The rich man let his friend eat a tuo. For every tuo he ate, he rewarded his friend with 10,000 yuan and asked his friend if he was willing. How open-minded my friend, reply: I can eat you up and cry.

Appleton was prepared to cry all the stupid producers and investors. Life is so easy, young Appleton still thinks life simple. After World War II, Hollywood was dominated by ideology for a long time. Affected by the "McCarthy Incident," many so-called leftists and speeches are in danger of being suppressed by the government.

Appleton, a money-worshiping screenwriter who wanted to cry for a producer, was framed as a leftist. Appleton’s charge is not unfounded: someone found out his list of left-wing activities when he was in college. Faced with the so-called list, Appleton couldn't laugh or cry. Back then, he was in the club that he had just entered to have the opportunity to chase the school. Who knew he had to pay for the university's stunned self.

Appleton wanted to admit his losses and spend tens of thousands of dollars to pay for his mistakes. Who knew that because of his participation in the club, his career suffered a devastating blow: he was expelled from Hollywood.

What made worse came right away: his girlfriend dumped him.

Some people are determined to be generals, charging and fighting on the battlefield with endless artillery fire. Although they did not become generals in the end, they are at least heroes in people's hearts.

Appleton just wants to be a shit-shell man who can live a playboy life with just a bit of food, but life doesn't even give him a chance to be a shit-shell man. This is like a girl who gives up her body to make money and goes to Dongguan to engage in massage. You know how to serve. As a result, Dongguan still has ISO9000 quality management system certification for this industry, and there is no professional qualification that is rejected by the society.

Appleton was depressed and broke. He was drinking, racing, and hysterical in the rain, even though he didn't even think about dying, yes, it's better to die than to live.

It may also be God's trick that Appleton accidentally fell off the bridge while racing. He survived the catastrophe and drifted to a small town called Langson. At this time, he lost his memory after falling into the river and did not remember who he was. The people in the small town mistakenly regarded him as the hero Luke who was sacrificed in World War II.

Before his death, Luke rescued several comrades from the battlefield and was deeply loved by the people of the small town. The people of the small town saw Appleton, who looked like Luke, and everyone thought that the hero Luke would survive a catastrophe.

Appleton faced the enthusiasm of the people in the small town from being at a loss to adapt quickly. It took only a few days. What made Appleton believe that he was Luke? Naturally, it was beautiful women and applause.

The beauty is Luke's girlfriend Adele. Adele mistaken Appleton for Luke. It took the two people a sunrise and sunset time from holding hands to kissing.

The applause is the piano played by Appleton. The cheerful rhythm made the people in the small town that had become dull after the war so much joy.

When Appleton quickly adjusted to his new identity in the small town, the Government Bureau of Investigation did not give up searching for him, and finally arrested him in the small town. The Bureau of Investigation gave Appleton a list of left-wing alliances and asked him to confess to the so-called list of left-wing alliances when he appeared in court. As long as he did so, he could be released in court.

This opportunity was once what Appleton dreamed of, but now he is very embarrassed. After losing their heroes like Luke, the people in Langson town collectively fell into grief because of the sons, brothers and fathers who gave their lives on the battlefield to defend this country. In spite of this, they did not bow to life, staying strong. Appleton worked as Luke for a while, and he understood what dignity and freedom meant for himself and the people in the town.

The court time came right away. When Appleton appeared in court, people in the town followed Luke in real time through TV and radio. I followed Luke just as I wanted to know the news of my son, brother and father all over the world through radio, newspaper and telegram.

Appleton’s colleagues comforted Appleton and persuaded Appleton to bow his head to the investigation team. He also felt that bowing his head was his best choice.

In the court, the judges interrogated him in various humiliations, and Appleton met with the truth without concealment. Finally, the judge asked him to confess the so-called left-wing coalition, but Appleton refused.

Luke’s sacrifice was to defend the dignity and freedom of the people in the country. Now when dignity and freedom are trampled on, he is ashamed of what he did in the past. He risked going to jail and was also ready to go to jail. Rejected the court. What Luke didn't expect was that his refusal won the movie life that he could not get in the movie script he wrote before. At that moment, he was the male protagonist, guarding justice and peace.

    Don't pay too much attention to politics

    To regain the hope of the whole town, he is no longer he in a place, but he is still in b. This is actually a harmonious version of "The Truman World", but even though Jim Carrey also starred, there is no madness and no melancholy here. Now watching the most serious Jim Carrey in the film, I suddenly feel the essence of his performance. Darabont & Deakins, the golden partners of Hollywood in the 90s.
