The Mask (1994) ♥Movie Reaction♥ First Time Watching!

[@LordVolkov]

'94 was a huge year for Jim. The Mask, Ace Ventura, and Dumb & Dumber catapulted him to mainstream stardom, but I will always remember his start on In Living Color.

Fun fact about the auto mechanic shop: You've seen the place before. It's a former fire station in Los Angeles and interior shots were used in Ghostbusters for their business. Exterior shots were of another station in NYC.

[@namelessjedi2242]

I just binge watched your channel to this point. Love your reactions and sense of humor, they are a lot of fun! As for the Mask, these CGI effects were pretty ground-breaking at the time, though it helps they didn’t have to be photorealistic due to the cartoony theme of the film.

[@OMA2k]

Yes, this was one of the very first uses of CGI in a full-length film and it was cutting edge in its time.

[@dwerenat1]

The saddest part of the "loaner" gag is that the car, in good condition, is a masterpiece. If you're curious it's called a Studebaker.

If you want to see Jim Carrey in a non-comedic role, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” is a really rather splendid piece of cinematography.

[@taoist32]

@@nsasupporter7557 Dark comedy. A guy lives out tv roles.

[@jasonlittle6542]

According to what I heard from Paul Harvey, Jim Carrey decided during his childhood to not grow up to be his dad. He followed a very different path, until this movie. Playing Stanley Ipkis was very much like playing his father. The perennial nice guy that everyone walked all over.

[@firedoc5]

If you got a kick out of the live action + cartoonish mix, you'll really dig "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?". Jim Carey is very talented, but there is a fine line between outrageously funny and flat out ignorant, which he walks perilously.

[@johnlarro6872]

I always thought Jim was very much walking that line - some movies with him are great, but many turn me off. I don't know how much stock to put into the stories of what he is like as a person (ie there's some dark stories out there, stalking-type behaviour toward ex gfs etc)... but that has certainly flavoured my opinion of him in recent years, too...

[@Niinsa62]

Roger Rabbit, yes! And there's something cartoonish about The Rocketeer, too, even if it's not really cartoonish in the Mask and Roger Rabbit way. It's more live action cartoony. But still very good, and it has a very young Jennifer Connelly as the leading lady!

[@richardcameron3640]

Jim Carrey in The Truman Show. A movie I can watch over and over and still smile.

[@skatedurr]

I was 11 yrs old when this came out in theaters, there was tie in deals at burger king, buy a whopper get a free mask toy. I went to BK for weeks trying to collect every toy but never could get them all 🥲This movie holds a special place in my heart as a Canadian.

[@andre1999o]

Fun fact: Jim Carrey said that he wanted the character of Stanley Ipkiss to be interesting both with and without the Mask, so people wouldn't get bored with it, so he based a lot of Stanley's personality on his father.

[@blortmeister]

BTW, yeah, Jim's Canadian. Another of our great comedians who've headed south.You're welcome.

[@azorazul007]

Whimsory: "when I used to see the cover when I was a kid...." Me: ... like, two years ago....

[@LordIrisofNecropolis]

This movie was based more on the cartoon than the comic. The cartoon was a tame version where the masks powers were changed to make them only as dangerous as the user, and a single wearer (stanley) who was very not dangerous. The comic mask is violent, powerful and makes wearers insane. The cartoon mask is powerful, but stanley is a cartoon lover with the heart of a hero, and the powers of a useless manchild. The mask gives him the ability to fight crime as a cartoonish antihero, rather than a dereanged killer. The show was so popular that a live action movie was welcomed, and they got the cartoon king, Ace Ventura (Jim Carey), to play him. Ace ventura: pet detective, was amazing, and brought the same energy as the mask cartoon, so the stars aligned with Jim Carey appearing around that time. The Ace Ventura movies, and subsequent cartoons/games, were a big hit, and definitely worth checking out for the comedy if youre into slapstick and animals.

I just wanted to tell you I really enjoy your movie reactions. I actually saw The Mask in a movie theater when it came out in 1994.

[@cityman2312]

The Mask (Ipkiss) does not kill anyone (unless Tyrell drowned), but he did SA the shady mechanics with phallic car parts.

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

"Dead meat" was 80's, not nineties. It was made famous by "Mr T" from Rocky III

[@ricardomiles2957]

The Mask is one of the most OP characters of all time because his mere presence shapes reality to his will. If he feels like doing a cartoon bit the world will play along and there's nothing you can do about it.

[@ek9509]

1:27: I guess that's because Edge City is fictional. The setting of Edge City is, of course, Los Angeles. The Edge City Bank in which nerdy Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) works, is the familiar old Bank of America Building at 650 Spring Street, downtown L.A.

[@chrisleebowers]

"You either really like him or you really hate him" It's all about dosage. Five minute sketches on "In Living Color" are fine. 90 solid minutes of "Ace Ventura" can be a bit much. "The Mask" was fun because it was like a Looney Tunes version of The Hulk in which mild-mannered Stanley Ipkiss transforms into Jim Carrey for brief scenes, then turns back into Ipkiss. "Liar Liar" was fun because he's obnoxious turned all the way up, but he's *suffering* for the entire movie, and it's fun to watch him squirm...

[@MrDMF567]

Jim Carrey’s talent is such that writers basically just make up some odd scenarios and let him do his thing…and it was box office gold. This, Ace Ventura, Liar Liar, etc…”ok, so we’ll just turn the cameras on and let Jim start going, then we’ll edit it into a 90 minute movie & make millions” lol

this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. still love watching it to this day

[@sinelo3965]

At the beginning of the movie, when Jim Carrey opens his desk drawer we can see a Looney Toones magazine. That gives a hint of what is going to happen. When Mr Mask (let's call him that) is watching Cameron Diaz perform at the club, he imitates a cartoon of a wolf in an identical situation, which appeared in an old animated story (I think from the 1950s). When Mr. Mask is with her in the park, he imitates the famous skunk Pepé Le Pew, who speaks with a French accent; that is why Mr. Mask adopts a French cartoon appearance

[@Muck006]

"You can't see anyone else in this role" ... *Michael Winslow* could be a contender, he certainly has the noises down ... and he isnt that "non-weird" either, but he never got more than a supporting role.

[@erictaylor5462]

I was in the video story when this little kid, 5 or 6, brought her mom Boogie Nights and asked if she could watch it. Mom looked at the cover and said, "Sure." I was really surprised so I asked the mom, "Really? You're going to let her watch that?" Mom asked why not but I didn't want to say out loud with the kid right there so I just said, "Read the back." Mom's eyes just got bigger and bigger as she read and finally she told her daughter to find some other movie. The kid was mad at me but I just said, "It's not a kids movie. You would just find it really boring."

It was fairly well done special effects and cgi for the 90's. It sure as heck boggled my mind as a kid. I hadn't seen anything quite like it before. I plan on doing some editing to water it down even more and take out the creepy demonic-looking Dorian guy and stuff, and showing it to my niece & nephews.

[@ThistleAndSea]

Okay, when I saw you were doing The Mask I had to go look over this 200 greatest movie list you've talked about, and Mask is not on there. **whew** LOL! You had me worried for a minute! And then I watched your intro and realized this was a suggestion. Actually as I read through it though, a lot of the movies on that list are pretty suspect. SO many Marvel movies? And Die Hard 3 and Evil Dead 2?? Seriously? Greatest ever? Oi. That being said, they ARE fun movies for sure, and I guess that list is as good a place to start as any. You're doing a great job with your reactions, Whimsory, and as long as you are having fun watching the movies, that's what counts. Movies are always a matter of taste anyway, and you can't please everybody all the time, so it's good you are allowing yourself to have some fun. 😄
