The Rise of the New Type of Comedy--Anti-Logic Comedy

As a crime theme "Tower Heist", the story is full of tension, and with the "The Hangover"-style anti-logic comedy, the film is more memorable.

From the perspective of the structure of the story alone, the protagonist is set as a few thieves who uphold justice, much like Robin Hood, but also a bit of a pockmark. The outline of the story has been adjusted from the unremarkable and slow pace at the beginning to "robbing from the hands of a liar", which undoubtedly strengthens the entertainment effect of the story. And after 45 minutes of the film, as the narrative rhythm strengthens, the story becomes more watchable.

Hollywood has never lacked novel themes and types of stories. Traditional comedies can no longer allow more audiences to pay money into the theaters. In recent years, due to the success of "The Hangover", anti-logic comedies like this have been born. "Tower Heist" makes full use of this mode. The car stealing part in the second half is the most finishing touch of the film. It is also because of this anti-logic that the story looks a little absurd and unbelievable, which makes it the most for the audience. Surprise, who can say that the second half of the plot is not exciting?

Putting aside all the inherent logical order, just to simply appreciate the fun and unexpectedness of the story is enough to make a film applauded.

    Action comedy plus a little twists and turns, a pleasant movie-watching experience. It's been a long time since I saw Eddie Murphy in a decent movie, plus points.

    It started messing around after that.
