Along with ‘Her’ and ‘Upstream Color’ it has redefined romantic dramas with the inclusion of perfectly blended notions of science fiction. ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ is considered as one of the greatest screenplays of all time, courtesy of Kaufman’s unparalleled genius. He was awarded a second Golden Globe in a row for this impression of Kaufman. The actor has always been at his best in dark comedies, and his presence is the sole reason why this movie works so well, not mocking Kaufman’s ill-fated life but our inability to understand the man. Carrey’s portrayal gives a fitting tribute, it’s not an epiphany explaining the late comedian’s conscience but a panoramic view of Kaufman’s existence, a celebration. Andy Kaufman was enigmatic, so enigmatic, the world never understood the man behind the façade of strange humor. Here, Carrey subdues himself and leaves no traces to get into the boots of Andy Kaufman and voila! The result is one of the greatest performances in a biopic.
He’s always indulged in comedic overacting and self supremacy, but only for characters that don’t have a backbone. He understands his characters so well, almost like a psychologist. He usually is a beast roaring to be uncaged from the directors’ restrictions, but with perseverance he can pull off something so sublime, it would be a sin to end the movie and the character’s existence. But, if you haven’t watched ‘Man on the Moon’ you sure as hell do not have a fair idea of Carrey’s potential. The only reason why it sits in second place is because of the impact of ‘The Truman Show’. The boat scene where he brings physical helplessness and mental determination together on-screen, which is then rounded off by the discovery of his world and his famous line, is a proof of his terrific acting abilities that do not forget their comedic roots. In the beginning stages it feels like a normal Jim Carrey comedy with him pulling off some funny lines and faces, but as the story starts to unfold these very traits signify the brutality of his inner struggle between accepting realities. But the beauty of Weir’s work that is conveyed on-screen by Carrey’s genius is, it keeps getting stronger after this point, uplifting itself. Pretty disturbing, right? The realization that your world isn’t real could drive people to madness or an existential crisis and frankly, it is a very serious matter to tackle. Truman Burbank lives in a set up world,where everyone except him is part of a supporting cast employed to help progress the script, which unfortunately is Truman’s life. ‘The Truman Show’ lent a new dimension to Carrey’s career, he was no longer a comedian who appeared in popcorn flicks and late night television shows but a deserving Golden Globe winner and one of the most versatile actors Hollywood has seen.ĭirected by Peter Weir (‘Dead Poets Society’), Truman Show is a movie about a simple man unaware of the fact that his life is a reality show.
