      Cokie Hex same age as you and I agree, he’s a fantastic entertainer. I’ve been going back to revisit a lot of his movies recently. A pleasure to see them again. It didn’t get good reviews at the time but I love the Cable Guy. Underrated.

      One of the best over-actors of all time and it worked for the absurdist comedies he was in. When he wanted to be subdued like in “eternal sunshine” he was spectacular

      The "Truman Show" is a perfect example of his excellent acting skills. The part where he knocks on the fake sky after he wrecks his boat into it, good shit...

    I love that he disagreed with Howard that its a "sad" story. That to me means he acknowledges it and decided to look upon it with optimism.

    Jim should make a movie about it were he plays his dad and how they were janitors. Im thinking it would be kinda like Will Smith's movie The Pursuit of Happyness.

  • @brainsareus
    @brainsareus Před 4 lety +133

    "Messed up childhood", is a relative term... he had loving parents, and that can count for so much more than having relatively affluent parents, who are cold or detached. Howard, it's not for anyone to define another's reality, anyway. we did not live it.

    Some fathers beat their kids. Some fathers sexual abuse their kids. Some fathers drink and blame their kids. Some fathers leave their kids.
    His father stayed with him and taught him humility. His father did whatever it took to make sure his son came out a good man. His father is what I wish my father was. I'd live in a car too to have my dad in my life.
    Jim is a shinning light in this world and I thank his father for being there for him. Great Job Dad.

      Very sensible comment, and I hope you have healed from the father issues you’ve had.

    • @stevenburrito7032
      @stevenburrito7032 Před 3 lety +3

      According to the work of Jung, a reoccurring Jim Carrey must represent an archetype for you. An unconscious (or partially conscious) idea about yourself or the situation you are in. I suggest you write them down and then you can come back to them later and look for a correlation between the different dream scenarios where Jim shows up.

    Jim, Shania and many of us born in Ontario, Canada had a lot of poverty to deal with. Money was always an issue and very few could make it. Families were large and jobs were very difficult to be had by most. Canada was far from being the place to start your life.

    He is really one of the guys I thought would be gone by now. The way of Robin Williams RIP. But it seems his childhood and positive outlook on "bad" experiences, probably thanks to therapy, have made him plenty strong to handle life better than most. He's less of a sad clown than I originally thought.
