In the original comic, The Mask was much more violent and nihilistic, it was Jim Carrey and the director Chuck Russell who brought in the homages to classic Looney Tunes... so you are right, it was literally made for Jim Carrey

[@alexsutton8025]

The director Chuck Russell had the script written with Jim Carrey specifically in mind (adapted from the Dark Horse comics). When Jim read the script he said "it's like this movie was written for me!" To which the director said "It was, so if you say no, we're in big trouble" The comics are hilarious and wildly violent. Essentially Deadpool before Deadpool

[@andre1999o]

Fun fact: Jim Carrey wanted the character of Stanley Ipkiss to be just as interesting as the Mask, so the audience wouldn't get bored, so he based the character's entire personality on his father, a lovable goof who loved cartoons and was always struggling to make ends meet.

Notice how the first two times Stanley puts on the mask, it takes him over. But when he puts it on in the park, he clearly has more control over it, because he can take it right off. He doesn't wake up the next day, thinking it could be a dream. If we voluntarily take on our darker side, we can get control over it. Remember Ben Stein's advice? "Go as both yourself AND the Mask." That's what we all have to do. I sure do miss when stories like this, with actual moral lessons, were more the norm, and they had some actual thought and love put into them. Great react Vkunia!

The thing thats fun about this movie (among other things): When it comes to the two ladies, Cameron's lounge singer is coded as a "bad girl", and the redheaded reporter is coded as a "good girl", but it subverts it by making the 'good girl' be the one who sells him out, and the bad girl the loyal and sweet one.

[@brucechmiel7964]

Well the sequel was originally planned for 1996. And brought back most of the main cast. I’m pretty sure Jim Carrey had a bunch of movies it was already working on and declined the role. So there’s no room in the schedule for the sequel with all the effects to make it. It would be put on ice until 2000 something. Hell, there was an advertisement for The Mask 2 With Jim Carry on a 95’ issue of Nintendo power. Hell, Movie Posters where made before before the contracts were signed for pre-production. Hollywood does this to this to build up excitement for studio investors.

[@ThatSamoanGuy]

Fun fact: For the park scene where they're emptying his pockets, Jim Carrey is actually wearing shorts with the pockets cut out. Actors laying down beneath Jim Carrey are passing props up through the pocket holes to the actors to give the illusion that The Mask's pockets can hold an infinite number of objects like a cartoon.

I have a friend who was one of the gang members in this movie. (He got the giraffe animal balloon.) One day he asked Jim Carrey if he could take pictures of the makeup process and Jim said okay. There are multiple pieces and not one rubber prosthetic. There are cheek pieces, jaw pieces, chin and brow pieces as well as the skull cap to cover his hair. After it's all applied amd latex is used to smooth everything out, it's all painted green. False teeth finish it all off.

The Goosebumps book you're thinking of is The Haunted Mask. Great one. Loki, have standards? He's the god of mischief and chaos!

[@Mrryn]

But at the same time... because he's about the chaos should mean he values pizzazz and chaos of the highest order. As the ultimate trickster, he by definition should have standards and not settle for less than the best. It's like a certain blue-skinned genius with an enlarged cerebrum once said was the difference between a villain and a supervillain: presentation. Edit: And as for the Mask specifically having standards, it 100% does. Stanley and even Dorian as put-upon second-fiddle men in their respective lives are perfect fits for Loki's character. Plus, no way it didn't have a little hand, after Tina's kick, in keeping itself away from the bum goons and landed with Milo - because a dog Mask? That's hilarious, the funniest option.

31:26 Jim Carrey is an amazing actor. When they were casting for “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” Dr Seuss’s widow wanted to meet Carrey to see if he was right for the role. Carrey was on the set of “Man on the Moon” and he had to play Andy (who was the character he was playing in the movie), pretending to be Jim Carrey pretending to be the Grinch. So instead of losing the character he was doing for that movie he basically was Andy showing them what Jim Carrey would look like playing the Grinch.

19:19 It's a classic movie trick that goes all the way back to the days of Technicolor. Technicolor's biggest problem was that it needs a lot of light to render anything-- the characteristic look of a Technicolor film comes from the intense studio lighting flattening out the contrast. Another problem is you can't shoot things in actual nighttime conditions, so a night scene gets shot with a lot of light and is then underexposed and recolored to look like a scene under a dark sky.

At around 8:00 you ask if the mask is supposed to be his Id, it's not. According to Jung the description goes kinda like this: - SuperEgo is all you wishes desires and impulses - Id is your moral conscience and logical refraining - Ego is who you are, what is left of your super ego after filtering it through your id. The Mask here has basically the same psychological effect of alcohol, which lowers function of the frontal lobe and reduces judgement. That's one of the reasons highly repressed people turn into someone else when they drink. Of course the mask has the added loney toons powers to it xD
