It’s worth watching. It’s weird and artistic and at times uncomfortable.
Throughout the documentary modern-day Jim Carrey is interviewed, talking about his life throughout the 90’s.
He said he’d go to bed every night thinking “what do they (the people) want next” and then next and then next.
But one night he said it really clicked.
“What do they want?”
“They want to be free from concern”
And he decided the best way to give that was to be viewed as someone who was in fact completely free from concern.
I’m not saying that’s your answer too. But I will say that type of answer is probably in the ballpark. (Notice his answer wasn’t “better jokes” or “more outlandish antics”…though that’s what happened as a result of the realization)
If you’re answering that question with “more kick drum” or “a little lighter jean color”, you’re missing the purpose of the question.
The kick drum and jean color questions are already answered when you answer the real question underneath.
Jim Carrey answered that question in a very deep, cerebral, spiritual, business savvy way…and in doing so went on to be Jim Carey.
Maybe if you answer the question in a similar fashion you’ll go on to be…well…you.
