Character Evaluation
Judd Apatow not only brought jokes to the audience, but also changed the entire comedy industry . In real life, Apato, who makes comedy, is actually very serious. He always solicits opinions from others on the jokes of the film. Just like John Hughes's "Home Alone" series, Judd Apatow created a unique template that has been copied by industry insiders-a comedy genre that showcases male friendship. At the same time, he made a group of unknown actors become Hollywood's "comedy kings" in just a few years-they are called "Apatou Party". Apato rules not only the box office, but also the content of Hollywood comedy. The protagonists of Apato comedy are usually immature and ambitious otaku, who like to collect porn videos and eat junk food, and are forced to mature after encountering women, children and a series of responsibilities. Another feature of Apato’s comedy is that it is starred and written by fixed actors. His films are classified into the category of romantic comedies. Apato pays more attention to the friendship between men than to the love between men and women. Many of them can resonate with men. But he provides the audience with an honest perspective of real life, so women are also interested .
