My Favorite Movie

Asking me about my favorite movie is like asking a mother which of her children is her favorite, and I think I haven't seen enough good movies yet to tell which one is my favorite, but I think that if I were to choose a movie to take to a deserted island, I would definitely take The Mask with me.

God, I remember watching that movie when I was young and it was hilarious, full of cartoon-ey humor and some hidden black humor. It featured Jim Carrey, who also acted in movies like The Cable Guy or Ace Ventura. The movie's plot is about a sad romantic bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss, who lives a pretty boring life in Edge City where everyone arround him either doesn't care about him or just pushes him arround. This is until he finds a woman he falls in love with. Sadly, he can't keep up to her, due she working at the club "Coco Bongo", place that denies the entrance to him. That is until he find a magical mask that transforms him into a crazy green-headed bizarre trickster that calls himself "The Mask", who is able to cartoonishly alter himself and his surroundings at will. He then uses his powers to do things like fighting mobsters or robbing a bank so he could have money to meet his beloved.

The movie is full of little references to old cartoons and pretty good music. In fact, the cartoon-ey parts of the movie are my favorites, because is pretty funny how normal people in the movie reacts to it.

If I were given to choose what to change about the movie, I would change nothing about the original movie. Actually, I would most likely change a lot of things about this movie's sequel, which was the real crap, nothing like the original!!!
