И хоть к такому юмору прониклась не сразу, но фильм оставляет после себя очень приятное ощущение.
Энди Кауфман. Человек-противоречие, но гений же, комедии! Его обсуждали тогда, и будут вечно, в этом весь феномен!
Хочется теперь узнать про него и посмотреть оригинальные выступления.
Милош Форман открылся для меня с новой стороны. Я привыкла к его темным, таким более арт-драма фильмам.
А здесь такая, чисто, американская история, и культурное наследие можно сказать. I am, again, impressed!

Jim Carrey refused to be called by his real name during the entire production - to get into the part, he insisted on being dealt with as Andy Kaufman at all times, on and off the set.

Carrey used the congas as part of his audition tape for Milos Forman and they appear in the film.

The opening credits sequence mentioning that certain facts were changed and some events were in a different order,
