    What is the twist in the last fifteen minutes of drama writing? A bomb under the table, or Chekhov's pistol theory? I thought Stephen Chow's King of Comedy was already the ultimate, but after watching this film, I realized that he only learned the fur. De Niro's acting is like what I kneel, 8.3 average score, people in the past are really too...

    This movie nourishes the clown more, maybe the taxi driver has some. The last performance in red was also a fantasy, but he seemed to have nothing to say. The story of his life, so cruel, got the audience's hilarious laughter, and he had nothing to say after...

    No wonder the Joker pays homage to this film! The rhythm is good, the switching between reality and reality is clever, and all kinds of irony are in place. Uncle De Niro's gestures are so expressive! I didn't expect him to be so popular. The tearful smile at the end... Martin Scorsese made a guest appearance as the director and his mother also gave a friendly voice...

    A sharp critique of TV entertainment culture and star chasing and star achievement of the American Dream. The comedy performance on TV and Putin's pursuit of an opportunity in reality are like the difference between traditional films and postmodernist films. One creates a virtual dream, and the other breaks the dream so that the audience can distinguish the film and return to reality at the same time. The medium and close-up shots allow us to always observe the characters in the film from the...

    weird sense of humor. The imagery and boldly blurred reality of the One Night King fit well with the black comedy that borders the set. Marty really loves Luo, give him the best ideas, give him the most interesting characters, and give him the best endings (this guy is actually a bit talented instead of being booed off the stage after a few words). Luo finally greeted the baptism of success with a very good...

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.
