Two points to watch. One, the joys and sorrows of little people. As a grassroots comedian, he has a lot of dreams, but he has never been honored. The talk show star he admires ignores him; the woman he adores has always felt pity rather than love for him; his mother can't do anything about him. I will never forget that he played several roles at the same time in his own home. In the loneliness and empty loneliness, he imagined the prosperity and laughing in the future, and imagined the audience's admiration for him. I also won't forget that when he was shoved out the door by TV security guards, or was thrown out to be exact, he was still quibbling, for a trace of poor dignity. However, he succeeded. He successfully kidnapped the star he admired and used it as a threat to appear on the TV stage for five minutes. Immediately, he was arrested. Another thing to watch: When he's on stage for five minutes for breaking the law, he's already made it. Step down, get arrested, get out of prison early, and he has become famous. And he finally became the new king of comedy. This story happened in the 1970s and 1980s, when the media began to develop explosively, but it was far from the atomic fission-style expansion that it is today. His success is due to the god-given effect of popular culture and media. But if the same thing happened after 2000, it would only be a gossip of the day. The next day, he will be forgotten. The fission-like development of information today has not only drowned out effective information, but also drowned out human nature. Even letting us quietly enjoy a criminal's performance has become a luxury. Stephen Chow has a comedy of the same name, which makes people cry. I like it too. The king of comedy from Xing Ye should have been influenced by this film. Master Xing interprets bleak personnel affairs with exaggerated performances. The film is completely realistic style, especially De Niro's performance, every move is like a sculpture, unforgettable.

    Great! The seemingly absurd and flamboyant star-chasers, the comedians who chase fame to the point of madness, are actually very realistic. The show business is so glamorous, and these little characters are almost completely invisible. What's interesting is that everyone is fighting against Rupert's mediocre jokes, and the final talk show is very interesting. If this story is placed today, he really can only be the king of comedy for five minutes, and everything will sink to the bottom of the timeline the next day

    Laughing makes my stomach hurt. Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime!
