    Compared to Stephen Chow's Hong Kong-made comedy of the same name, Martin Scorsese's black comedy is relatively unpopular. The 4k restoration effect is quite perfect. Robert De Niro contributed a top-level performance, especially the last solo show. "I would rather be a king for one night. , Don't be a boring person for a lifetime" The setting at the end is quite ironic (Looking back at Lao Ma's last royal actor De Niro, he was the best actor of that era, and now Xiao...

    Like the "Taxi Driver" supporting series, the story structure is almost the same. People who have no chance take the risk and take the risk to lead to absurd endings. How little people break into closed, imaginative systems is a constant problem. Reality and fiction of the performative personality. A fellow writer. Martin cameo as giggling set...

    "I watched my life, it was useless, but it turned out to be a little funny." The insurmountable black monument in the inspirational film made comedians, audiences, and even the TV circle a lot of teasing. Come to think of it carefully, in fact, every "overnight fame" is somewhat...

    8/10. The sound editing reinforces the fantasy space where the protagonist’s desire to become famous has become crazy. The family builds a kingdom of performance in front of the cardboard man. Every time the fantasy of dining with the idol is interrupted by the mother’s request to be quiet, when the office listens to tapes or The scenes of entering a talk show under the threat of kidnapping are all blurring the boundary between virtual and reality with the photographic techniques of zooming in...

    The pros and cons between fantasy and reality are bold, and the technique of saving the talent of the "king of comedy" until the last minute is revealed is quite clever. De Niro played a small character who climbed up unscrupulously. From "The Good Guy" to "The Wolf of Wall Street", Scorsese has an insight into the "American...

    Sr. Martin was overlooked as a highly completed masterpiece. After Lennon was assassinated, he had multiple satirical contrast effects on celebrities and fans. The first few edits of fantasy and reality and the studio and the kidnapping scene were excellent. The reaction of the suspected sneak shots on the streets of New York and the film also have a separate effect. At the end, the unreality of being released from prison in the blurred TV screen proclaims the falsehood of the media. De Niro is...

    7 points. One is to assassinate the presidential candidate, the other is to kidnap the host to "Are you talkin' to me?" in the mirror and perform a personal show against the...

    The film won the 1984 British Film Academy Awards for Best Screenplay, the 1984 London Film Critics Association Award for Film of the Year, and the 1984 National Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actress. At that time Martin wanted to make "The Last Temptation of Christ", but De Niro expressed no interest and wanted to change his taste, so he had this comedy. It feels a bit like a comedy version of a quiz, very interesting. Robert De Niro's performance is also very...

The King of Comedy quotes

  • Rupert Pupkin: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Let me introduce myself. My name is Rupert Pupkin. I was born in Clifton, New Jersey... which was not at that time a federal offense. Is there anyone here from Clifton? Oh, good. We can all relax now. I'd like to begin by saying... my parents were too poor to afford me a childhood. But the fact is that... no one is allowed to be too poor in Clifton. Once you fall below a certain level... they exile you to Passaic. My parents did put the first two down payments on my childhood. Don't get me wrong, but they did also return me to the hospital as defective. But, like everyone else I grew up in large part thanks to my mother. If she were only here today... I'd say, "Hey, ma, what are you doing here? You've been dead for nine years!" But seriously, you should've seen my mother. She was wonderful. Blonde, beautiful, intelligent, alcoholic. We used to drink milk together after school. Mine was homogenized. Hers was loaded. Once they picked her up for speeding. They clocked her doing 55. All right, but in our garage? And when they tested her... they found out that her alcohol had 2% blood. Ah, but we used to joke together, mom and me... until the tears would stroll down her face... and she would throw up! Yeah, and who would clean it up? Not dad. He was too busy down at O'Grady's... throwing up on his own. Yeah. In fact, until I was 13 I thought throwing up was a sign of maturity. While the other kids were off in the woods sneaking cigarettes... I was hiding behind the house with my fingers down my throat. The only problem was I never got anywhere... until one day my father caught me. Just as he was giving me a final kick in the stomach for luck... I managed to heave all over his new shoes! "That's it", I thought. "I've made it. I'm finally a man!" But as it turned out, I was wrong. That was the only attention my father ever gave me. Yeah, he was usually too busy out in the park playing ball with my sister Rose. But today, I must say thanks to those many hours of practice my sister Rose has grown into a fine man. Me, I wasn't especially interested in athletics. The only exercise I ever got was when the other kids picked on me. Yeah, they used to beat me up once a week... usually Tuesday. And after a while the school worked it into the curriculum. And if you knocked me out, you got extra credit. There was this one kid, poor kid... he was afraid of me. I used to tell him..."Hit me, hit me. What's the matter with you? Don't you want to graduate?" Hey, I was the youngest kid in the history of the school to graduate in traction. But, you know, my only real interest right from the beginning, was show business. Even as a young man, I began at the very top collecting autographs. Now, a lot of you are probably wondering... why Jerry isn't with us tonight. Well, I'll tell you. The fact is he's tied up. I'm the one who tied him. Well, I know you think I'm joking... but, believe me, that's the only way... I could break into show business... by hijacking Jerry Langford. Right now, Jerry is strapped to a chair... somewhere in the middle of the city. Go ahead, laugh. Thank you. I appreciate it. But the fact is, I'm here. Now, tomorrow you'll know I wasn't kidding... and you'll think I was crazy. But, look, I figure it this way. Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime. Thank you. Thank you.

  • Secretary: Is Mr. Langford expecting you?

    Rupert Pupkin: Yes, I don't think he is.
