The style of Scorsese's works has changed a lot. "Taxi Driver", which began to enter the heyday of creation, has a strong experimental nature, and gradually formed a unique and harsh image style in "Angry Bull". However, "The King of Comedy" of this period seems to be a well-established and mature work, a black drama with sharp criticism of social phenomena.

Since the mid-1970s, Scorsese's creative trends have become a kind of sociality in accordance with the uneasiness of American society and culture, that is, using images to make social criticism. "Taxi Driver" and "Angry Bull" embodies strong pessimistic anti-heroism. "The King of Comedy" is relatively relaxed. It targets the phenomenon of TV culture and uses very ironic elements in it. Plot settings. Parkin wanted to be a celebrity on a TV talk show. After being snubbed and teased by his TV idol, he kidnapped the idol together with the crazy star chasers, and got the opportunity to perform on stage at the cost and became famous in one fell swoop. Parkin is a very neurotic character, and a lot of dialogue is used in the film to express this character. This character has been talking constantly from the beginning of his debut, thinking that he is completely intoxicated in his personal dreams. This setting is a manifestation of idealization, an abstraction of traditional American success. After Parkin puts his hope on his idol Longford, he shattered this dream. And Parkin's subsequent crazy behavior is also a typical portrayal of the post-Vietnam War era in the United States. This extreme method is very naive in nature, but it has become a method of personal resistance and has won unexpected results. For Scorsese, he must use this to illustrate the impact of boring TV culture, but also to reflect that the individual people are impetuous and depressed, and there is no way out. This setting is very different from his previous two films. Scorsese handled it very calmly. Although the description is full of humor but not kitsch, it has a different kind of power. First of all, the behaviors of the characters are extreme, condensing and exaggerating social phenomena; in addition, all the performances are real, which is the self-catching of the characters with this environment and personality. Therefore, if Parkin shares the stage with celebrities in his own imagination, accepts the applause of the audience, or Langford faces the day-to-day shows and loud questions of audience harassment, it is the director's personal expression of the real society. It also adopts the technique of alternate appearance of reality and fantasy. A confused dislocation enhances the comedy meaning of the film, and this sharp contrast also enhances the power of irony. It is understandable that the final ending is also a kind of comparative irony. It is impossible to judge the authenticity of this kind of dream, so the hope given becomes a kind of helplessness, a seemingly dull reunion and a hidden mystery.

From the point of view of shooting techniques, "The King of Comedy" is generally very calm. Scribes uses traditional American movies, as he himself said, the Edwin Porter style of expression, without close-ups, and shooting with documentary methods without statements. Therefore, the whole film is very stable and objective. The filming technique established by Skerses during this period is very related to his socialized themes. In "Angry Bull", he emphasized the beauty of the scene setting, while returning to "The King of Comedy", it was much flattering. Most of the mirror images shown are from the author’s personal perspective, which not only shows what you see, such as follow-ups on the street, simple switching, scene browsing, and more on the sidelines. De Niro and Scorsese have just gone through the arduous process of "Angry Bull", especially the fatigue of violent fat gain, but the performance is still wonderful. For this kind of exaggerated and funny role, he has performed equally well, although some scenes are displayed. Slightly overdone. Jerry Lewis gave a perfect performance, made great jokes, and some impromptu speeches were great. The film reproduced the production process of the TV show at the time, trying to make this fictional show appear real.

This film is the precipitation of a creative climax for Scorsese. Personal inspiration and achievements will inevitably encounter obstacles and bottlenecks when suddenly rushing to the top. A relatively calm and mature work can play a role in alleviating it. , In order to establish the style, that is, thinking with personal images and criticizing the society.

    The story is so good, the front is bitter and sad. The hard work without knowing it is the most distressing, pitiful and hateful, and Happy-ending allows the Luthers to find the courage to live.

    4.5 There are golden sentences that slap the face extremely painful, the montage segmentation and the agitation of different material images running through the realistic fantasy makes people speechless. What Old Martin boils is pure poisonous chicken soup that will die after drinking and then come back to life. Can know before the end of the movie which of De Niro's self-confidence or insanity is the end of the cold joke. What's even more awesome is the form and texture of not flipping, not fighting back, and not responding when staring at the dramatic reality, in front of the photo wall The fading pull-out mirror and the close-up of the simple rocker at the end of the push mirror have far more worrying predictions than that era and the soul profile of the current era, so wonderful!
