    It's a satirical work that gradually enters the good state until overjoyed. Unforgettable De Niro's solo...

    The prototype of HOWARD and mother's cry was found! In Lin Bixuan's words, De Niro's jerk is a drama, but every actor in it is really great. And I like this script so much! Where did Martin's early mastery temperament go now. ....

    The ending of the American Dream is embarrassing, and the sadness and heaviness buried in the whole story from beginning to end turned into a farce. Of course, it was just a show... The host was also pitiful, because he was living a boring, annoying, and lonely life, and he was kidnapped and harassed... Haha. Of course there are a few shots that are objectively impressive and breathtaking! For example, on the wall full of spectators, De Niro kept talking against the wall, the camera slowly...

    I am afraid that for the real realists, this kind of ironic drama is still a Hollywood fairy tale after all, and what I expect from the heart is indeed a tragic...

    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...

    The male lead’s pre-prison performance is connected with the context of our evaluation of the movie. If you think his performance is poor, then he is an incompetent villain who has achieved success in the layout; if you think he is good, then he is An unsuccessful redresser. This kind of binding seems effortless, but it is a metaphysical that can only be completed by calculating to the highest level. Martin in the 1980s was still invincible even if he didn't show off his style. The only time a...

    "The core of comedy is tragedy" is a famous saying. Furthermore, comedy is a tragedy that has been stretched too long. The protagonist of the tragedy suffers but reluctantly refuses to leave the scene, so it becomes a comedy for life. Tragedy is the elegy of free men, and comedy is the poetry of slaves. Therefore, "Joker" is actually a tragedy of pseudo-common people and true elites overlooking all living beings, because it presupposes that people live with dignity, while "The King of Comedy"...

    Everyone is a genius at least once. The low-profile version of the clown was euphemistically rejected in the interview. It was a bit shameless. The leftist was only violent, proving his superiority, paying more attention to small people, and being famous in extreme...

    The mirroring and narration are very mature, and the atmosphere is comparable to that of "Taxi Driver". If there is no last third, then this film is at the level of three stars. The front is the old-fashioned lunatic black powder. I did not expect that it is actually a bitter "inspirational" story. Suddenly there was a reasonable and powerful motive, full of tragic and vigorous. The affection for the barmaid is not just Diaosi's narcissism, but it proves its sincerity in behavior. De Niro...

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.
