The outer core of comedy, the connotation of tragedy

"The Devil Is Coming" has many hilarious clips and scenes, but it can't make people laugh, it's a tearful smile. Socrates once said: "The real tragedy always appears in the form of comedy."
In the scene of the execution of the death penalty on Ma Dasan in "The Devil Is Coming", General Gao stood on the stage and sternly said that his parents were killed by the Japanese army and their legs were blown off. He is the most qualified to take revenge. When I was human, the surrounding crowd was still numb, as if watching a show. When the pig ran out, the scene got out of control, and all the Potsdam Proclamation, Geneva Convention, and national righteousness that General Gao called were all dissolved into people's laughter. "The so-called chaos in order is to combine funny and humorous things with noble and serious things, comedy factors and tragedy factors, time sequence and time disorder, and other opposite or irrelevant things." The seemingly democratic General Gao claimed to want Ma Dasan to speak, but he blocked his mouth and ruthlessly dispelled and ridiculed freedom and democracy, realizing a kind of resistance and ridicule to the real order. Ma Dasan, known as the "national scum," was executed at the same place. He didn't laugh like Tong Hanchen, but roared up to the sky, feeling helpless and sad.
