eccentric characters, Kaufman (Jim Carrey) formed in the undergrowth of the cabaret, get vicibilitĂ thanks to producer George Shapiro (Danny DeVito), and during a brief career, cut short by a rare form of lung cancer, he gained a huge success.
Master the art of displacing the audience with improvised gags, Kauufman, was it (like all great artists) too far ahead of its tempo.Questo did not prevent him, however, won the audience over with character lines and memorable sketches.
His alter ego Tony Clifton, shared with his friend Bob Zmuda, its holdings on Saturday Night Live, the only wrestling against women, in the wake of provocations and male-free were his features a distintivi.In kaufamn sense naively anticipates the machinations of the show that we are all abituati.Le telerisse, the "happening" as defined academically.
Personally I have never loved the comic Carrey. Ace Ventura is not the (ceva) to laugh, and admired Carrey only as "Face Eraser", which accompanied sorannome alas this actor for most of the His early dela carriera.Poi came timidly the first demonstrations of the talent of this actor, that goes well beyond the line and the deformed face. "The Truman Show" was, for me the point of svolta.In "Man on the Moon," Carrey proves to have the necessary sensitivity to touch gently with a wide range of emotional chords. Perhaps an innate sensitivity that is common to the late Kaufamn perhaps _davvero_ the extreme versatility of this performer, the fact is that Carrey shines in every look, gestures and posing that (again) maybe for the first time there are never gratuitous or excessive.
easy to deny that the film could risk slipping into a "One-Man (on the Moon) Show" thinks the cast that acts as a boundary to protagonista.Un Danny De Vito also so lovely when smacchietta, intense though delicate, Paul Giamatti is simply an embarrassment to his skill, and a surprise that Courtney Love obviously invested a lot of his persnale in the role of the wife of an eccentric personality and over the top.
Soundtrack signed by REM, from which the film Mutual also the title, already used by Stripe & Co. for a single content in "Automatic For The People" came out some years before the movie, just a single dedicated to the late Andy Kaufman.
All it takes to be a movie to watch at any time, with friends, or to recommend to genitori.Un experience which amply repays the time invested, leaving at the end of the film the same bitter and nostalgic smile that is painted on the face of Giamatti, De Vito and Love in front of the exhibition of yet Tony Clifton.
"Now Andy, did you hear about this one? Tell me, are you locked in the punch? Hey Andy are you goofing on Elvis Hey baby, are we losing touch? If you Believed They put a man on the moon, man on the moon If you Believed there's nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool "
