The question behind -- "Watching Essays"
Not a movie review, just a viewing essay.
"Comedian", when watching this movie, it is hard not to compare it with Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy". They're all stories of little people, all full of absurdity and dark humor. However, the core values behind the story are still different.
In "Comedian", Putin finally succeeded. Although the price paid, each of us in the audience will feel that the price is very worth paying, even if the price...

This is the better king of comedy
Since they are both kings of comedy, this work in 1982 and Stephen Chow's work in 1999 can be compared together. They are both telling stories of little people trying to climb up. The ending of the work in 1999 is not very clear. To explain, Yin Tianqiu's path as an actor is full of unknowns, which is cruel and realistic. The ending of the 82 version is different. Po Jin chose an extreme way to realize his dream of being the king of comedy under desperate circumstances. He paid for his...

How can you bear the silence when we're all crying? This sentence is the first lyric of the ending song at the end of the whole film! Personally, I think this sentence may be the best sentence in the film. Many people recalled "The King of Comedy" after watching it. Perhaps the first impression was the sentence on the talk show by Rupa: I would rather be the king of the night! Don't be a mediocre person. indeed! This sentence is indeed the essence of the film. But what struck me the most was...

?About identity
There's a clip in which pupkin wants to meet comedian Jerry, but the receptionist never calls pupkin the right name. For the protagonist, the director did not give any history, which led me to think he was nothing more than a fanatical dreamer at first, and it was not until the last live performance of pupkin on TV that I understood the character's motivation. Pupkin was born into poverty, his parents abused alcohol and domestic...

I want to be famous! I must be famous! ! ! De Niro's self-entertaining one-man show is more thorough than Tim Roth in Reservoir Dogs.....poor people must be hateful...if not in a comedy format, then.. ....I would rather be a hero for one day than be ashamed to be a black fly for a...

"King of Comedy" has Martin Scorsese's most quintessential social perspective, full of conflict and unease, the comedian-minded Rube's paranoid, stupid, and crazy, but Robert De Niro does it all full of charm. Although it is a farce, "The King of Comedy" is full of oppressive black atmosphere. The choice of lighting and color makes Luber's imagination and cruel reality intertwined, full of conflict and tension. This weighty criticism may be derived from Martin Scorsese's reflection on the...

Rupert Pupkin: [arguing with Masha] What about things that I did for you that no money can buy, no money can buy? What about the time I gave you my spot! You came over there, I gave you my spot! You stood there and I let you get right next to Jerry. I waited for 8 hours for him and you went right next to him cause you were crying to me cause you wanted to get next to Jerry and you got next to him. And what about the time I gave you my last album of the Best of Jerry, what about that? It wasn't anybody else it was me and I didn't even ask you for money and I can't even pay my rent! What are talking about? I live in a hovel! And you live in a townhouse! I can't believe this girl!
