Man on the Moon (1999)

[ER]

Saw this for the second time, first time was when it was out in theaters, and it seemed like an entirely different movie this outing. Darker, more dreary, not only concerning the short, strange life of Andy Kaufman, but somehow it was like there was a looming cloud of tragedy over Jim Carrey too, present-day meta-knowledge, I suppose. I didn't enjoy the film this time, though I do think it deserves in the good movies category, as it's still a well-made, worthy motion picture.

I've not seem it yet! I really want to, though.

It's really good.

I love Man on the Moon. Carrey did a decent job. There's a documentary on it, might still be on Netflix

My of my personal favorite films and for sure the best performance Carry ever gave.

I really wasn't aware of Kaufman before this movie.  Maybe I'd seen him on something, but he wasn't really a name on my radar.  I did a documentary on him before the movie came out, and he seemed like a fascinating guy.

It's not a bad movie, but do you think the Americans really flew to the moon or is it all fake?

[RCMerchant]

^ Nope. If they did, they would see that the Earth is flat!

I am not a flat-Earther nor a creditor of wild fringe conspiracies generally. However, there are some elements of the moon landing footage and its surrounding circumstances that remain puzzling to me. I'd be willing to accept that we DID land on the moon but that the footage was, for propaganda purposes, fabricated.......

Jim Carrey went all in on the method acting for this movie.  He insisted that everyone refer to him as Andy during the entire filming and completely supressed his own personality, trying to act as much like Andy as he could, not just on the set but in real life.   

He later claimed that doing this he had lost "Jim: so thoroughly that he's not sure he ever got him back.
