He went into the role weird as fuck. I think in the beginning everyone who knew Kaufman was like wtf, but then there’s video of them saying how much like Andy it was... but that’s not the same as having an emotional closure discussion with his sister. I’m betting Carrey in that moment probably felt he’d bitten off more than he could chew, but just swallowed that shit like a champ.
Carrey’s another dude who seems to have transcended the idea of a self. He’s been so many people in the name of entertaining.
Painting was a good move by him. It’s reactionary, almost.
