Pure afterthought: tentatively called a fable across the ages

I planned to watch the clown on Sunday, so now let’s watch the mother movie in advance. To be honest, I really like this movie, and I don’t know why. I feel that everything is particularly comfortable. There is nothing to fault in the technical process, and the mirrors that should be taken are just right; and I was attracted to this movie right away. The plot is in.

Maybe it’s because Rupert’s road to fame touched me. At the beginning of the movie, I was very disdainful of all the Haikou he praised (sorry for some reason I used to push PTSD) and I can hardly empathize with his madness. I don’t think he has any proof of his own abilities. For what reason he always pestered Jerry to waste other people’s time, and even promised his girl a bright future in advance; I also understand Jerry’s situation. As a comedian, he is in this film. There was no smile at all, and he couldn't even see the entertainment attitude in life; when he was kidnapped by Marsha, he seemed to be a walking dead, busy work schedule, fierce competition with peers, moral kidnapping of ordinary people, fans Mad, and finally swallowed up his love for this business; but at the same time, I was so disgusted by his and his work partner’s politely wrapped arrogance (which is typical) that I rolled my eyes; Marsha kept reminding me of my current private life. Shengfan, her pathological madness, is just like a fan group that has lost his mind. In the end, Rupert used the most extreme and unconventional means to get on the stage, and this is his way to success, and the ultimate way for his outstanding talk show to be shown. It is extremely sad and ironic.

As we can see, in today's era, I am afraid that even this method is not feasible. Everyone is looking for new mental stimulation. The life cycle of such news is only about two days. Undoubtedly, there has never been a fair evaluation system for the success of new art stars, and the brightest sparks are completely possible to be buried in the ground and never be exploited. So today and in the future, what kind of ascending channel should they rely on, what kind of luck should they have, what kind of test, and what kind of madness can they rely on to succeed? And what kind of methods should those people who have become famous use to balance all these things they need to deal with? Existence means reasonableness is bullshit. The screenwriter has written a prediction for the far future under the black humor. It is also a problem. Maybe there is no perfect solution.

    I really have no idea about stand-up comedy, and I personally think that De Niro didn't perform stand-up comedy well. Although there are not many stand-up comedies, De Niro's actions are really only those few. I personally think The stand-up comedy can't only be funny in the things it says, but also in the actions... Maybe it's because I don't like most of the characters played by De Niro in the films I've seen.

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

The King of Comedy quotes

  • Jerry Langford: I'm sure you can understand. Doing the kind of show I'm doing, it's mind-boggling. There's so much stuff that comes down... you can't keep your head clear. And if that's the case, I'm wrong. You're right. I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, I apologize. I'm just a human being... with all of the foibles and all of the traps... the show, the pressure... the groupies, the autograph hounds... the crew, the incompetence... those behind-the-scenes you think are your friends. You're not sure if you'll be there tomorrow... because of their incompetence. There are wonderful pressures that make every day... a glowing, radiant day in your life. It's terrific. OK, if all of that means nothing... if I'm wrong,in spite of all that... then I apologize. I'm sorry. If you accept my apology... I think we should shake hands. We'll forget the whole thing. I won't press charges. You could be in deep trouble... but I will not press charges.
