a bit chilling if he didnt okay it. because if taken out of context... you can spin everything your way. doesnt have to be necessary bad, but also doesnt have to be necessary true.

That was actually amazing. And I know the point is to also show how his art reflects life. But at the same time. Through half of it, of the quotes I had never heard before... I was wondering if they were from interviews or from the movies... I would have loved to explored that comparison.

It is beyond

If we allow it, this will become the norm with AI: no breaks, no disruptions, no criteria to distinguish it. We’ll consume advertising and propaganda in a seamless narrative that we believe is personalized, when in fact it will be curated to sell and manipulate, without allowing pauses or perspectives outside the increasingly veiled interests generating the content.

[@malcolmk2878]

Keeping in mind what happened to Robin Williams almost 10 years ago, I would really love to have the opportunity to tell Jim how much it meant to me and my entire generation to have him inject a dose of magic into our childhood. I don't know if he fully appreciates that it's not idolatry, it's gratitude. I grew up with his movies, from a literal toddler to adulthood and few people have had that sort of impact on us. It's humbling to see where he's come from and it's even more humbling to see his acting career come to an end. I'm extremely grateful for what this man has given us. This entire video was brilliantly put together to convey an over-arching message. Thanks, Jim. For everything.

[@kayla7562]

Jim and robin were pure magic (and still are) to us forever 90s kids. How lucky were we?? Okay I made it through the whole video without tearing up but now responding to your comment my eyes are just swelling with tears. I’m 33 and so thankful because that means I grew up with these guys as my besties on tv. 📺

[@salamanderthegr8630]

I whole heartedly agree with this sentiment. Jim is apart of who I am I find myself in his mind state of wanting to just have fun while I'm here but wanting to be seen in more light that just the funny man. Ace ventura the Truman show and so many more movies have quite literally shaped who I am as a man. I have sat and asked the universe to send it's energy my way. I've sat alone and thought how to make others smile. I've imagined my life as a movie. I've even been dirt poor. I just want the world to feel good even for just a fleeting second to revel in the positive and the real aspects of our existence. The thought that non of this is real haunts me spiritually. I am just a guy, you're just a person but we can all be anything and nothing at all. It's sickening. So much is real but so much isn't. We're grains in an hourglass that is bound to be flipped upside down for another's own purposes. We're everything and so little simultaneously. While we are here I'd like to say thanks Jim you've tought me so much about this crazy life. If you ever read this you are so much more than you know. ❤

[@Phxrmacy]

None of us exists. we are all actors!

[@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy]

Agree however he always came off odd to me and an obvious person of desperation and issues. Which he pretty much admitted even in this video alone, so I was right and able to see. I loved him as Mask, there are no other actors who would fit that role, but damn, every other of his role is pretty much disturbing ... People laugh at him thinking it's comedy but all I see is a person who is crying inside 24 7. I seen the same things in every role Robin Williams had too. When people laughed I cried ... it was hard to me to watch any of their movies. Other then like I said the Mask stands out perfectly. So I would thank him for The Mask and keep quiet about everything else, some things rather stay in the past and you don't poke old wounds ...

[@magicpoopsoup]

@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy I couldn’t disagree more. He gave a part of himself to make us laugh. Just like he did for his mother. Little did he know that it would literally touch a generation so profoundly that people would use his comedy to shape the very type of person they are. He is an amazing person. Artists are always struggling. That’s what makes them great. We were lucky to be in the same time as him.

I've got AuDHD and for much of my life, seeing Jim as someone to ascend toward, felt like I had no idea who I was. For many years I was just a collection of jokes and imitations. It wasn't until I decided to unmask fully and be truly authentic that I discovered me. But like you... there really isn't much to see. It's a difficult idea to think about sometimes. Am I even real?

Jim Carrey has experienced more than his fair share of tragedy. He struggled with depression and anxiety most of his career which is a common theme amongst comedians. Being a class clown myself I used it to hide my sadness and anger at growing up in an abusive broken home by acting out and making light out of everything. It was the only time I was alive. The trials that Jim has faced have broken him and he’s never been the same since. The easiest way to escape something meaningful is to ascribe no meaning to anything.

Really awesome job!😊 Wow! i had no idea he was the first person to earn 20 million! i never knew he got so big because i was just a kid then, to me he was just one of the big actors that made these funny great movies, i had no idea he cracked some kind of record the other actors couldn't. I hate how fast hollywood dumped him though as soon as he got older they no longer wanted him acting and he definitely took a big blow with that he went through a pretty depressed period. Truthfully i only like the couple of movies because he was way over the top a bit too much that he wasn't funny really, but in the professionally made movies he did they really made it work and i guess directed him in the right ways where he wasn't too over the top he used the crazy in all the right moments. Those are some of the movies that really made me smile as a child though, i think he was brought into the world to give us what he's capable of creating although i think a great deal of that was his mental health issues and it sounds to me he always felt really disassociated from himself to deal with all the troubles he went through, somehow he turned it into something really creative though.

I've watched several interviews with him and he constantly refers to himself and all of us as avatars or characters. I think at some point he has experienced an extreme ego death (I think from hallucinogenics). It's sometimes hard to wrap your head around that we aren't anything more than what we see in the mirror or a simply a culmination of our life's experience. We are and have been everything and everyone at one point in time, but that alone is just "US" experiencing being human. None of this matters in the grand scheme of things. So love every second of your life that way. In a way that makes "you" happy and no one else.

[@VantageCollective]

Agreed but failing to recognize also the fact of how he would literally lose himself in his roles to full immerse himself in that character, and in the process is what sheds light onto how we all play characters and are conditioned, because he loses himself in the mix of it all.

Of course not everyone will like it either because everyone has different styles, but far more people will than all the other stuff being made now.

Jim Carrey and Robin Williams were my entire childhood, I dread the day jim carrey leaves us but I’ve just been trying to enjoy every moment I see his acting while he’s here. I’m only 18 so I know most likely it will happen in my lifetime, but this man brought so much joy into my life and he really doesn’t understand just how many people he made feel better when they were so sick physically or mentally that was what kept them going. It would be a dream to meet him he seems like a wonderful man on and off the screen

[@bulletsxdame]

Same. Watching those two in films definitely created a timeline of my appreciation for both comedians. I truly appreciate both men, and felt the loss of Williams as if I'd lost a close family member. It will be a dark day losing Carrey.

[@RuthlessMojo]

Jim Carrey has experienced more than his fair share of tragedy. He struggled with depression and anxiety most of his career which is a common theme amongst comedians. Being a class clown myself I used it to hide my sadness and anger at growing up in an abusive broken home by acting out and making light out of everything. It was the only time I was alive. The trials that Jim has faced have broken him and he’s never been the same since. The easiest way to escape something meaningful is to ascribe no meaning to anything.

[@JD-mz1rl]

Not uncommon with those that have experienced a home wherein they constantly feel the need to be someone else to uplift others. This video is also missing the huge piece of history - when he became Andy Kaufman for the movie man on the moon.

[@AnywhereButHere.]

@@jacktravis2718 I understand what you're saying. But in my opinion, I don't believe that "we are the universe" first off - if you want to get technical and use the scientific explanation then yes we are energy just like everything else in this place so we can't be destroyed or created. I think we are souls experiencing our time in this life/universe, not the universe experiencing itself. We each have a soul, life energy, whatever you wanna call it. I've had a NDE so I personally felt my body shutting down as my soul started to leave this dimension/physical world. I found out I have my inner voice+personality+consciousness which makes up my soul (as that was what remained with me when i exited my body), I saw my body laid on the floor from above as I kept going further away. I literally got a "tour" of the afterlife and all of the levels, dimensions, and entities that coexist but we can't see. Telepathy was the form of communication, immediate thoughts put into my head from such entities like the first one that was telling me I was dead and leaving. Unfortunately I was able to get into "line" to get into heaven but it felt too far and no feeling of comfort. Immediately dropped into hell where it's completely tailored to what I did wrong. Saw my future, saw people forgetting me, heard them talking, etc.. I was then suspended in an area like a void of black space while evil entities were there to make my eternity as hellish as possible. I'd beg to go back, they'd say "ok", I'd transport to a familiar place surrounded by friends and think wtf just happened, then immediately yanked back as they laughed over and over. I fought the entire time from when I felt my body collapse to when I got to my own hell, denying that it was the end. I heard the loudest voice ask me what have I ever done, basically pointing out why I was there.. I finally gave up, accepting I'd be in this form for eternity (I couldn't stop thinking when I was suspended, it was like my mind having new thoughts/seeing images every split second, not even 1 second to be able to relax).. after I gave up, 2 of my guardian spirits/angels brought me back and my body was now standing up like a statue and I slowly entered from above into the back of my head.. and was reconnected. I've had this experience so I know it's not "dust to dust" or that "we are god/we are the universe" because I was nothing but a tiny speck of my remaining soul in a endless area of different levels.. and I was given true understanding of eternity and the flip side of how people mourn when they leave their loved ones here because there's no possible way to change anything or do anything, just a feeling of heart ripping regret.. anyway that was my personal NDE experience and since then all the new age spirituality, all the shit about how "we are gods/we are the universe/we have the universe in us" is something I know isn't right.

Even though you didn't hold everyone's hand as you detailed out his story, you gave us everything we needed to understand that whatever you could've said has already been said by the man himself. And it makes it so much more impactful. Showing his story, piecing it together to show the huge similarities between the movies and roles he's done and the man underneath, yet in such a eloquently edited way is properly mind-blowing. A genuine masterpiece mate. And once again, I can't wait for the next one, whenever it may come.

I have never seen something so close to what reality is to me. I've been in this state of identity crisis for years now because very young I've realised I am a different person around different people, different personality different attitude, different sense of humour.... And I've overthought this to the point where I don't know which version is truly me anymore or does a true version even exist . It's gotten to a point where I look at myself from the third person view while I'm in conversation or doing something because I'm now so conscious about every single action I do to the point that I know the way I'm acting, I am aware of every single action I'm doing , every single emotion I'm feeling is a conscious decision. I'm not even sure what is real anymore, not sure if anything about me is ever true or honest if in the end all feels like a pretense, my anger ,my laughter,my joy, my sorrow nothing seems genuine anymore everything I'm feeling I'm only feeling because I'm supposed to feel it or I'm expected to feel those emotions by others or rather I'm expected to feel those emotions by myself. And the only time I ever feel at peace or "myself" even if something like that exists is when I'm all alone and I have no one to keep appearances for . Me doing nothing or feeling nothing at all about anything feels like the truest version of myself. A blank canvas which is absent of any colour. An empty shell waiting to be filled with a persona based on the circumstances. Even writing this comment seems like an attempt to make myself be heard because I am supposed to feel like that I should be heard. But I'm not sad, I'm not depressed. Because even if it is a scripted emotion or a version of myself which I don't think is true it is still me, it is still me feeling those emotions, even if I'm forcing myself to feel those emotions in the end I do feel them I feel anger when I think I should be angry and joyful when I should be happy. Those might feel fake or scripted but in the end I am feeling them. Even if all this is nothing but an illusion it is an illusion which in the truest sense feels like reality and I'm ok with that and happy about it. What made me write all this is that hearing him talk or watching this video made me realise that my warped perception of reality might not be so odd afterall and in the infinite loneliness I feel I am experiencing this loneliness with others as well. I know probably not a single soul will read this but this is not for others to see but for myself to contemplate and think about , me writing this comment is one other way I'm re examining myself or my sense of self among many others.
