Bar Man on The Moon I'm only familiar with Kaufmann from Taxi, so I'm glad this doc leans much more towards Jim Carrey's career. A great look into what it's like to work with a nutter like Carrey going method on set, doubling as a mini biopic on the man himself. Not much to knock really, although I'd like to have heard more from JC on what was genuinely going through his head as he was continuously pissing his workmates off, and less of the hippy twaddle he’s drivelling on about at the end.

Fascinating to see how an actor can lose his self as he transforms completely into his role. That said, Carrey got really on my nerves after a while.

başka bir durumda, sette tam bir pislik olmaya and içmiş bir aktörün kendini aşırı önemsemesine dair bir belgesel gibi okunabilir pekala. ama hem kaufman'ı hem carrey'i düşününce, burada carrey'nin kendisinin olabilecek en iyi şekilde aktardığı o iç yolculuğun işaretlerini görünce tam tersi bir noktaya evriliyor belgeselin okunması. sadece bu sayede bile, ve tabii iki komedyeni bir şekilde kapsayan ruhla, kendisine hayran bırakıyor.

Jim Carrey - The clown who cried. This documentary shows that Jim Carrey is a broken human being who just put on the robes of a funny man. Nobody apparently told Carrey that the job of an actor means that you pretend to be other people for a living. An actor doesn't have to mentally break down to play a character. Jim Carrey caused undue drama behind the scenes of the film. Just look at the faces of professionals like Milos Forman and Danny DeVito. Pure secondhand embarrassment.

It was frequently uncomfortable watching Carrey's method acting become effectively a piece of behind the scenes performance art, that constantly tortured the cast and crew of MotM. As the doc turns more onto the impact the experience would have on JC's own modern day life it became more interesting. At first I was concerned about Jim's mental state, but some of what he says directly to the filmmakers make me believe he really is after finding himself and all power to him if that's the case.

A testament to how much successful actors can get away with in their prime and the lengths Hollywood will go to to justify their obnoxious behaviour on artistic grounds (while claiming they don't approve) as well as America's nauseating tendency to mythologise its own pop culture. The footage of Carrey goofing around and annoying cast members on set is not without interest, but this exercise in pseudo self reflection is too guarded and merely encourages Carrey's own narcissistic delusions.

I submit that this would not work today if Jim Carrey hadn't completely detached from his 90s persona and become the personification of zen mastery that he is today. Time helps, too -- time away from the havoc he caused because he was too dedicated to the role. It's a fascinating slice from a man whose process doesn't get exercised much anymore, and it takes place at the tipping point of his popularity. Man on the Moon 2 will probably be about Carrey himself.

This documentary truly show the madness of an artist, when you became so obsessed with someone or something that you lose yourself, it’s a bit frighten to watch Jim go through that path and I don’t think that he ever came back from that.

This documentary fascinates me, but I can't for the life of me decide, whether it's because there is something hypnotic about someone so dedicated to their craft, or because Jim Carrey has become the philosophical equivalent of a three-legged dog, but either way I'd love to see him play Jesus.

I don't know if it's all that Hollywood magic they do working angles and using costume accessories, but getting to see things behind the scenes, having the curtain pulled back so to speak, I was shocked to the core over the revelation that Danny Devito is actually short. Did not see that coming.
