To me it isn't the hilarious part of this movie that attract me. We all know Jim is a good actor that he could really act with his expression and body language well enough until we merely need the dialogues. His boredom and avoidance towards life really got me there feeling how lonely one could be when we are not connecting ourselves properly. And it reminds me of a friend just just confessed to me some time late last year that she is actually island herself from the people around her. Got herself all sank in her work and go home, day in day out.
What is life then? Somehow there must be something that contribute to this. Being boring and running away from life, is definitely a sign of losing hope for something or resisting confrontation.
Saying YES could be difficult because it means making changes and willing to take in new things, especially when one is being very negative. What has YES got us if we become daring and face the light? Carl (Jim Carrey) acted positively because he thought he has got the covenant to bow to YES and YES only, otherwise bad things will happen. So throughout his attempts of forcing himself to accept whatever things that come in his way allow him to meet opportunities and cultivate the positive attitude towards life and all the good things eventually found the doors to come into his life.
What have we got to lose by opening up ourselves to potentials and the beauty of life? Joy is always there, so does happiness. I am not asking everyone to start saying YES without really thinking, but I'm saying "try to think of it: what about saying yes, when the NO just got itself so ready to pop up".
"The world is a playground. We knew that as a kid. But somewhere along the line we forgot that."
