Andy Kaufman is a man on the moon!!!

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2005)

Honestly, I didn't know who Andy Kaufman was before watching this movie. Allow me to recreate the scene: I was about to sleep and I was watching TV (I think it was HBO, I don't remember), however, I saw that a movie called "Man on the moon" was about to start so I decided I was already tired of watching porn by that time at night and watched it.
OK, now that i think about it, it wasn't necessary to tell all that story,eh whatever. I found out some things after watching this movie, first, it wasn't Neil Amstrong's biography (thanks god), it was Andy Kaufman's, one of the biggest comedians in the world that I got to know better after watching this movie and searching for some taxi episodes.
And I think there's one point in his movie that gives a lot of sense to understanding Kaufman's attitude and that is that Andy worked to entertain himself, not to entertain his public.
That's the reason why he did a lot of crazy stuff that sometimes public didn't like, because he wanted to laugh, that was his priority, sometimes it was good because public laughed also, but that wasn't important for him, he just wanted to be happy like every person.
One of my favorite scenes is when he goes with the guru guy to try to heal his cancer disease and he laughs a lot wen he sees the guru is cheating on people, because that was a joke life played to him, he liked to play jokes for everyone and now it was his time.
And I think that's all I got to say, Andy Kaufman is a man on the moon, because he was different from all people, he didn't forget the meaning of life, do things for you to be happy, not always for the others and I think that's a lesson we all have to learn.
