Movie review: The Mask

Movie Review: The Mask (1994) 

.– Finding Freedom in Tubi's Latest Addition

​It is finally on Tubi! The Mask, starring the incomparable Jim Carrey, has arrived, and it is every bit as funny as I remember. Even though it’s an older film now, it remains one I am incredibly fond of.

​Jim Carrey is a truly great actor, and this role feels like a metaphor for being free. The way he acts—both in his roles and in his real-life interviews—shows a level of abandon that I find fascinating. I’ll admit, I’m slightly more reserved myself. 

I often worry about what people think or what they might "give" me in return for my actions. But Jim doesn't seem to care; he just exists.

​I know there is plenty of controversy and talk about Jim Carrey these days, especially regarding how he looks or acts now. However, I’m not going to get into any of those conspiracy theories. I prefer to focus on the work.

​The movie is a fantastic story about a man who finds a mysterious mask that changes everything. When he puts it on, it enhances his personality, transforming him from a tired, quiet man into a wildly outgoing character. The best part? No one knows who he is when that mask is on. It is a hilarious comedy that stands the test of time.
