good movie but a little hard to follow and I'm interested in the artwork.

Rating: Null/10 (25 March 2004)

The film is thought provoking and sparked a lot of post-theater discussion. Part of that discussion was a final working out of what was memory, and what was switching back and forth in time. I see this as one of Carrey's works that the general public won't like because he's not being funny. It's intellectual like Truman and also confusing. However Carrey is more than a characature. All those hours making faces in front of the mirror yielded an amazing ability to convey despair, vulnerability, loss, delight, etc., etc., etc. One thing I'm interested in. All of Joel's drawings look like the work of R.Crumb. In the "humiliation" scene, Joel is occupied with a comic book that must be one of R. Crumb's adult comics.
