When I watched it for a while, I felt that the comedy style of this movie was familiar, and it was the kind I didn't appreciate very much, but it was very popular among American Jewish comedians since the 1990s (note that Jews are known in mainstream American comedies). take up a large chunk).
Try to describe it, a style that combines British satire with Jewish self-deprecating spirit. The most common form is to create a scene that would be extremely embarrassing for a normal person, and then feature the embarrassed protagonist and make the audience laugh.
Representative works are "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm". The creators of the two sitcoms are the same group.
Curb Your Enthusiasm has this humor from start to finish. For example, the protagonist took money to buy flowers for his wife, and lost the money on the way. He happened to see someone taking a lot of flowers to the cemetery, so he waited for them to leave and stole the flowers they put in the cemetery. As a result, the person who brought the flowers to the wife was the person who put the flowers in the cemetery, and they even found out (the face of the protagonist was close-up at this time).
A development of this style is to ask a person questions in reality that others would never ask out of politeness.
For example, ask a dwarf: "Do you get on the bus to buy an adult ticket or a child ticket?"
Ask a fat man: "Do you know what it looks like when you die from a heart attack? It's like this..." (Begins acting) For
example, ask a religious person: "You Do you think God cares about your wishes?"
The drama is about how the protagonist solves himself, and the comedy is about how to put others in it, torment them in every possible way, and admire their funny faces.
This kind of comedy often puts the protagonist in an awkward position, making the audience feel so uncomfortable for him that they feel sympathetic. So I don't really like it, but it's very popular in the US.
I just want to say that the film "The Absurdity of Religion" was created by the same group of people as the two comedies mentioned above.
Really, seeing the atheists sympathize with the believers, those devout believers sweating profusely in front of the giggling host, it's so pitiful.
But if you take it too seriously and hate the movie, you lose.
You know, this is a comic effect by design. The point of this film is not to find out the absurdity of religion, because anyone who will watch this film knows that religion is absurd. This movie isn't about educating the audience (like a regular documentary), but it's about getting people inside and outside the film together and having a good laugh.
The angle of appreciation of this joke can only be compared by Brother Chung around me. Now the Tichun brother religion is a bit outdated. I would like to remind those who have faded memories that the essence of the spring brother religion is to satirize blind religious beliefs and absurd stories of religious miracles.
