The "humorous" life of a comedian

I am not an original writer, and I have never seen the original. It was simply because the one in the poster looked a bit like Batman and went to the movie to watch, but I was attracted.
This is a film full of elements of the last century. If you want to watch exquisite and fashionable pictures, I am afraid you will be disappointed. You don't have to waste this time and traffic. But if you want to watch the discussion of war, peace, and the self-destructive tendency of mankind, you can watch this movie.
There are many themes about the tendency of human beings to destroy themselves. "Destroying mankind means mankind" is a thought in a very old age. It can even be said that there is a social consensus and there is a general fear. Many commercial blockbusters use this as an eye-catching feature, and they have tried repeatedly.
We may not have much impression of the nuclear crisis during the Cold War, but it was an indelible shadow in the hearts of the American imperialists at that time, and the area of ​​psychological shadow is not to be calculated. However, this film used a "shaking conspiracy" to promote the cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union. The emergence of a stronger enemy united mankind at least temporarily, thereby freeing humanity from the crisis of nuclear war. This in itself is a kind of irony.
The first surprise that this film gave me was that the comedian was played by JDM. Seeing that he died within a few minutes of the opening, I was really depressed, but fortunately, various memories flashed back later. It was this memory that flashed back to plump the character of the comedian. He is a cynical person. He sees through the darkness and hypocrisy of this world, and sees through the shame of human nature, so he uses the darkness of society and human nature to fight back against society and the whole world. He did a lot of extraordinary things in his life, and finally apologized to his mother and women. He also finished his whole life of "comedy humor" full of black irony. Just like Russell's joke in it, the clown who can make everyone laugh is unhappy. This comedian who uses perverse and weird methods to attract people's attention is actually troubled by these tactics in his heart.
