My favorite movie

My favorite movie is "The Mask" by Jim Carey. I like Jim Carey's humor in the movie. What is most interesting to me in this movie is how the actor can have an extra power by wearing a mask. This mask was not a normal mask but a special mask which has extra power.

There is a strong belief about mask in Africa. Masks are closely considered with statue. Statue too has an extra power in African belief. "Afo Akom" is an example of a statue which has been sent from Cameroon to USA museum. The "Afo Akom" distroyed a lot of art which was in the museum. Due to this destruction, "Afo Akom" was sent back to its home town in Bamenda, Cameroon.
