I loved Carrey's performance in Man on the Moon, but I had no idea that he took it this far! It's pretty amazing.
Carrey says in the trailer: “Universal didn’t want the footage we took behind-the-scenes to surface so that people wouldn’t think I was an asshole.”![man on the moon movie trailer youtube man on the moon movie trailer youtube](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lFi-nhhOLuY/maxresdefault.jpg)

It's very good.Īlso, if we've learned anything about me through this journey of a post, it's that your girl here sure does love the color green.You may not know this, but Jim Carrey kinda went completely insane when he was playing Andy Kaufman in the biopic Man Made Moon.

Plus, the use of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" is the first to rival the use of Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" in the 2017 Black Panther teaser as my favorite use of music in a trailer. It was genuinely the greatness of the trailer, which catapulted it to my number one favorite of 2021. And while I am, admittedly, extremely susceptible to nostalgia, here's a quick fun fact about me, Allie, the human writing this post: I hadn't actually seen the original Matrix when this trailer dropped! I know! (But don't worry, I have since watched them all multiple times and they are now among my faves - yes, even the sequels! I told you, my taste is bad!) So my point here is that it wasn't the nostalgia that got me. It's one of those trailers that I watched, needed a minute to compose myself, then watched again.
