Memoirs and Misinformation: A Novel

Product Information

The sequel to It Ends With Us (2016) shows the aftermath of domestic violence through the eyes of a single mother. Tikrai ne kartą googlinau kai kuriuos faktus. Jim Carrey yra nuostabus aktorius ir jo paties gyvenimas tikrai vertas biografijos, tad ir čia bandžiau už kažko užsikabinti. Bent už mažiausio teiginio, kuris galbūt tiesa. Bet ar tada atsakymas būtų pateiktas google? Nemanau. Patys slapčiausi norai, mintys ir išgyvenimai taip gerai paslėpti, kad sunku juos aptikti, o prisidengiama ironija bei satyra. Nes kas kitas, jei ne tu pats, kuri savo gyvenimą ir gali viską sumalti į vieną, juk literatūra, fikcija neturi ribų. Čia autorius ir žaidžia visomis savo turimomis galiomis.

We get it Jim... there is no Jim. Now do you want us to take you seriously or are you just screwing around in Hollywood and New York with way too much free time and money?You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world and after you walk through those doors...you'll only really ever have two choices: love or fear. Choose love. And don't ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.” If you think of Carrey’s career like Adam Sandler’s — and we’re not saying you should — you can make an argument that during his Biggest Movie Star in the World period, he had his Jim Carrey Comedy Superstar movies (the Farrelly brothers and Shadyac) and then his Working With Serious Directors to Make Art movies (two of which we’ll be getting to next). The one film that comes closest to merging those two is Liar Liar, a high-concept comedy about a slimy lawyer (Carrey) who, because of a birthday wish from his son, cannot tell a single lie. This turns out to be an extremely fruitful idea for a comedy, as the lawyer keeps running into situations in which his particular affliction is incredibly inconvenient. But he also gets a redemption arc that, particularly at this point in Carrey’s career, is surprisingly moving; Carrey has that normal-guy mode he can shift into that really works when he gets it right. Plus: We’ve been using “the Claw” on little kids for 23 years because of this movie. They love it. The Truman Show (1998) Meet Jim Carrey. Sure, he's an insanely successful and beloved movie star drowning in wealth and privilege--but he's also lonely. Maybe past his prime. Maybe even . . . getting fat? He's tried diets, gurus, and cuddling with his military-grade Israeli guard dogs, but nothing seems to lift the cloud of emptiness and ennui. Even the sage advice of his best friend, actor and dinosaur skull collector Nicolas Cage, isn't enough to pull Carrey out of his slump. That reality, as you might expect from Carrey’s career of infiltrating fiends, clowns and sad men trying to stave off loneliness, naturally tilts toward the surreal — a tone consistent with the experience of speaking with Carrey himself. For instance, when the conversation turns to Las Vegas, a place the book’s “Jim Carrey” fears he’ll wind up “when he’s old, jowly with bleached teeth and hair plugs, whoring for the bingo crowds,” Carrey describes his own visits to Sin City in feverish prose that surpasses the book. But perhaps what’s most interesting was what happened next. Carrey began to question the trappings, and even the point, of movie stardom, and, as documented in the riveting documentary Jim & Andy, went through a total career (and mental) breakdown while filming Milos Forman’s Man on the Moon. Since then, Carrey hasn’t had the box-office might he once had — though his biggest hit ever came just a few years later — but he has become a far more fascinating personality, both onscreen and off. He has even inspired a sort of motivational philosophy of the self: Type “Jim Carrey philosophy” into YouTube, and you’ll find hundreds of fanmade videos featuring Carrey discussing success, and the conscious mind, and what it means to be alive. Oh, and he can paint too. It’s a long way from talking through your butt cheeks to Tone Loc.

You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world, and as you walk through those doors today, you will only have two choices: love or fear. Choose love, and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.” But then Jim meets Georgie: ruthless ingénue, love of his life. And with the help of auteur screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, he has a role to play in a boundary-pushing new picture that may help him uncover a whole new side to himself—finally, his Oscar vehicle! Things are looking up! Jim has been on the decline in my psyche for sometime now... his odd role choices in movies, his complete weirdness on Seinfields Coffee and Cars, his incredibly downer presence on the Actors Roundtable discussion, and now this book... It's weird, it's dark, it's satire, it's biography ... there's aliens and celebrity bashing and even some hippos. And I still have no idea what I just read.I walked through a parade of hookers and took my little green ass to some motel room that would make Baretta jealous,” Carrey says. “And I’m reading this book saying the world is going to end soon and I’m like, ‘But I just got here. I gotta make it before I die.’ So, literally, I’ve been making it before I die for almost 40 years. But we all have the sword of Damocles over our heads. That mushroom cloud is a character in our lives. And we have to learn how to dance and smile and do all the proper and appropriate things.” Daugiau fantastikos elementų nei pačiuose Jim Carrey filmuose. Kaip ir skelbia viršelis, romanas tikrai yra apie žmogų vardu Jim Carrey. Tik čia daugiau fikcijos, satyros, ironijos bei misinformacijos nei memuarų. Pradėjau skaityti vedama vienos idėjos, geriau susipažinti su aktoriumi, jo vidiniais demonais, išgyvenimais, tačiau jau po pirmųjų puslapių buvo aišku, kad ši knyga yra visai kas kita nei tikėtasi. Čia gausiai minimos žymių žmonių pavardės, pašiepiami gyvenimo guru ir mokyklos, išgyvenama dėl filmų scenarijų, atrandama meilė ir net prasideda pasaulio apokalipsė. There is one spirit guiding all things,” the father tells the son. “The universe, one verse. The stars and the sea and the wind through the wheat fields. And us, you and me. Once through flesh. Now through memory. See? I’m in you and you’re within me.” The audio book version is narrated by Carrey's Dumb and Dumber co-star Jeff Daniels. [6] Reception [ edit ] Critical reception [ edit ]
