I am not a fan of Jim Carrey's. My sons can sit and laugh at all of his slapstick situations and weird facial expressions, but I cannot. I think that it is stupid because it is not realistic.
This movie IS realistic--if only you have a heart. Jim Carrey is marvelous in it, playing an amesiac found by a person who thinks that he is his dead son returned to life. The whole town thinks so too. Even his former girlfriend.
The love story between the two of them and the re-opening of a movie theatre that has been closed for a long time make this movie majestic.
When the authorities catch up with Jim Carrey, the movie jolts us back to the present of the 1950s and the Mc Carthy hearings. It is then that the audience sees a Jim Carrey that can be funny and serious to an idiotic hearing of government officials.
The DVD cover says that The Majestic is a valentine to the movies. It is a Christmas present for us.
The movie has a predictable ending but rightly so.
