April 8, 2023: Spotlight seen in movie
“The Masks” (1994)
Jim Carrey, as the masked Stanley Ipkiss, stands in a spotlight in front of a silhouette of a cheering audience. He is holding a statuette award for his “death scene performance”, and gives an emotional acceptance speech. Two other men standing nearby look confused.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge April 8: A spotlight on #StepIntoTheSpotlightDay
“I'm the king of the silent pictures. I'm hiding out till talkies blow over.”
Warren Beatty plays Mickey, a #StandUpComedian who has it all, then gambles it all away. Well, that's the first 5 minutes of Arthur Penn's Mickey One (1965). Beatty is out of his element, and the movie's still too indebted to the cheery 60s to carry that New American Cinema grit. There are several great small surreal moments that are carried by uncredited character actors alone. And then there's a sole spotlight, stealing it all away.
