Film Evaluation - Me,Myself and Irene


Film Evaluation  

I recently watched a film called, 'Me, Myself and Irene.' It is a film starring Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger. The plot is a police officer whos life seems to be perfect turns upside down when he is driven home from his marriage. His wife falls in love with the black, dwarf chauffuer, when she is giving birth, Carrey believes the children are his, however when his wife has three black babies, he starts to get suspicious however says nothing about it. His wife then runs away with the chauffuer amd leaves him with the three children. Even though he is devastated, he says nothing. He then loses all respect in the community and people treat him as though he is nothing to them. One day, he suddenly flips and an alter ego - Hank, is born. He is a rude, angry and horny man who has no consideration to others thoughts or feelings. The total opposite to Charlie. Then one day, a pretty young lady called Irene (Zellweger) apperas in Charlie's life as a woman who is secretely in deadly danger from a few bent coppers. Charlie/Hank must try and save Irene from them and return her to New York safety. However on the journey Charlie/Hank falls for Irene and both men are in competition to win the young girls heart.

This image below is my favourite part of the film. The use of the close up highlight Carrey's acting as he transforms from Charlie to Hank. It captures the minute facial expressions which makes this moment even funnier.
