 | Could you image if you have an opportunity to have a wonderful mask which you could do however you want? The novel"Mask" was made a popular film, bese on the screenplay by Milk Werb who is a books writer. The novel tells more details than the film ans explains how the mask makes a person's life more significant. Plus it explains how the movie actor, Jim Carey made the movie more spontaneous. In addition, the movie would battles evil gangs with wacky power.
In the beginning of the story, Stanley was a nice, polite person, has a boring life. That is, it is a big reward for him because ha has a chance to found as ancient mask in a riverbank. Amazingly, he seems like a totally different person when he put the mask on his face. Likewise, he has became more humorous. Further, he had an indestructible body that he could do something people are not able to do. For instance, his heart shoots out of his chest when he saw the one of sexeist woman Tina and bug out his eyes.
Also, the actor in the movie was very spontaneous for his role because he has a nice body language that makes audience has the desire to know what's going on of the content. Moreover, I am so impress because it is not really hard to read the novel, they used a lot of interesting words to describe each role in this movie that made me more comfortable to read it.
In my view, I advise everybody have to see the novel not just for kids or teens. Further, we ought to relax for our mood because everybody get the preasure too much from our noemal life, so I recommend to get the novel that will makes your mood more comfortable. Truly, the writer in this book used a lot of wonderful words to describe Jim Carey's character.
In short, I would like to rate the novel 8 for the score because I thought it not only just a movie of comedy, but also let people to know that everybody has the rigth to makes their life more significant and terrific. Accordingly, I am full of courage to face any challenge and problem in the future as Jim Carey in the movie did.

| Everyone has a movie that sort of takes them back to their childhood. The type of movie that makes you feel young again. The Mask is that movie for me. And to be completely honest--I really don't find it all that comical. Im not much of a Jim Carry fan and from a technical standpoint--the scripting is pretty bad. But somehow great imagery, fun characters, and funky big band music make it more enjoyable to watch. The movie's just got a good feel to it. I can still watch the entire thing with a smile on my face. I remember seeing Cameron Diaz for the first time and thinking she was the most beautiful woman on the planet. Haha! Its just a fun lighthearted movie and it puts me in a good mood every time I see it. Recommended. |

| This movie is another Jim Carrey movie that delivers. It's got great laughs, good visual effects and Jim Carrey is so into it that you'll be laughing your head off. The movie is about a geekish banker who gets his big break when he finds a mask that makes him turn into a green faced comical lunatic.
When Carrey puts on the mask, you'll be anxious and waiting on the edge of your seat for the next time he does it because when he's the mask, he's just hilarious.
Jim Carrey dominates this movie. He's so hyper and pumped up that he perfectly adapts for when he puts on the maks and you won't ever want it to end. It's just great fun.
And by the way, how could anyone, even a kid, be scared of this movie???????????? |

| There was some buzz around the time of THE MASK'S release in 1994 that Jim Carrey had finally found a cinematic vehicle worthy of his talents. Well, yes and no. Carrey, like his predecessor in manic comedy, Robin Williams, was too big a talent for the small screen, but, in both their cases, the question always lingered: was their talent big enough for the big screen? Actually, that's too glib a question. The talent was obviously there. It really was a matter of finding the right vehicle to express it. After ACE VENTURA, THE MASK couldn't help but appear to be a step up.
But, of course, Carrey's taken several steps since then and has gotten himself real screen cred with more recent critical successes like THE TRUMAN SHOW and last year's ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND. More than ten years on, howver, it looks likely that the film will be better remembered as a landmark in computer generated action than as a comic vehicle for its star.
You have to give Carrey his props, however, he is one of the few comic actors who can hold his own against all that CGA. You could almost say that the animation is, in fact, an extension of his own wiry physicality. If not quite seamless, it comes pretty close. Carrey was probably the kind of kid who did flawless imitations of cartoon characters. That he should become one in this movie seems fitting.
As a live-action cartoon, THE MASK is right up there with ROGER RABBIT. (And just who is hotter anyway? Cameron or Jessica?). Its quotes of old Tex Avery cartoons (as well as others) should tickle pop culture aficianados everywhere. Heck, even the dog named Milo is a cartoon quote. It's all very clever, and you can almost forgive the movie for not using its human actors nearly as well. (Peter Riegert, a fine actor, has virtually nothing to do here, while Amy Yasbeck is asked to do almost too much in her brief screentime.)
For what it is, THE MASK works pretty well. It's silly fun, and something of a landmark in CGA. Of course, there are landmarks and there are landmarks. In terms of plot or character development, it offers little new. The nerdy good guy tapping into the hero within is as hackneyed a plot device as you'll ever get. Maybe if the movie had stuck more to its darker graphic novel origins, something a little bolder might have come of it. But if it's not avant-garde, it's still pretty entertaining. Still all this advanced technology rendering service to a hoary plotline makes for something of a missed opportunity. |
