A crazy person, but he is a damn good actor at times. This is a modern classic. It's hard to make over-acting work, but he did here.
shareJim Carrey owns all!
share"Jim Carrey owns all"
All of what?
I don't think he owns ALL. That word encompasses quite a lot, you know. In fact, there's nothing that the word 'all' doesn't encompass.. and it's impossible for an individual to own ALL. Think about it.
He is very rich and owns many things, but "ALL"? Nope.
"It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society", as someone said.
So what is 'healthy' and what is 'crazy'?
In my opinion, crazy people have one thing in common; they're not internally bound by the limits that most people are. They're more free in some ways, and that freedom sometimes overflows disregarding rationality.
But what such freedom offers is unrestrained expression, which Jim Carrey is so good at. I think all the best actors have to be a little 'crazy' in that sense, that they can't be as restrained as most people are (for some reason).
I bet if you took a normal world and brought some of its population to this world, they would all be diagnosed to be crazy, because of their freedom in thinking, feeling and expression.
So in a way, one could almost say; to be human is to be crazy (or vice versa).
To me, REAL craziness is being hurtful, evil, murderous or injurous (??) to others, whether it's people or animals. To me, it's crazy that people eat animal flesh and see nothing wrong with it, and then get worried about a lost cat or speak against animal abuse. The whole meat industry is systemized animal abuse, torture and mass-murder, but no one wants to even speak about that.
Now THAT's truly crazy, and not in the good way mentioned earlier in this post.
So, what's 'crazy' is not written in stone, it's a fluctuating term. DSM has gotten more and more political (politiced?) every time, and in a good world, most of what's deemed 'normal' and 'non-crazy' on this planet, would be deemed EXTREMELY INSANE and definitely crazy.
So in the end, how do you define 'crazy'? I think there isn't a solid, one-size-fits-all-type definition - what's crazy for some people, is sane for others, and vice versa.
In the end, 'crazy' simply means 'delusional thoughts and irrational, unpredictable, possibly harmful behaviour'. In that sense, most of the people of this planet are definitely crazy, but they live under the delusion that they're sane.
