 Synopsis
In Hollywood in 1951, all films with leftist views were deeply affected by the "McCarthy Incident" and were listed as part of the so-called blacklist, leading to the persecution of many innocent filmmakers. Peter Appleton (played by Jim Carrey), a young and talented screenwriter just starting out in the industry, found himself on the government's blacklist due to an unintentional act during his college years. However, his nightmare did not end there; after losing his job and his girlfriend, Peter also lost all of his memories in a car accident. When he was rescued by kind-hearted people and brought to a small town called Lawson, the townsfolk mistakenly identified him as Luke, who had died nine years earlier in World War II. Luke's father, Harry (played by Martin Landau), was overjoyed. Peter restored the rundown cinema that Harry had unintentionally run, and he rediscovered his passion for life through filmmaking. Luke's former girlfriend, Adele (played by Laurie Holden), even fell in love with Peter. Just as everything seemed to be heading towards a happy ending, an investigator showed up in town, demanding that Peter appear in court immediately. Directed by the renowned Frank Darabont and starring comedy superstar Jim Carrey, "The Majestic" is a film that showcases the director's ambition to make a splash at the Oscars, yet it failed both at the box office and in reviews, though it has achieved a level of excellence worthy of meticulous perfection.
