The Soviet classic film "Story in the Office" most vividly explains why "the core of all great comedies is a tragedy with tears and laughter" --- the hero in the film is a useless and honest The poor man (his wife may have divorced him because he thought he was a wretch and left him with both children), is by no means an official fan. When the director of his place was transferred, the After the vacancy of the long position came out, the reason why he wanted to be the director like a madman, he braved everything and took the initiative to curry favor with the heroine who "wanted to be afraid of her as much as wolves", which caused a series of dramas. A hilarious scene, because the salary of an ordinary agency employee in the former Soviet Union was so low that he didn't even have the money (20 rubles) to buy a new pair of shoes for his child, so he had to ask for loans from others everywhere. It is difficult to support "myself + two children who need more and more money", and "the director can earn 50 rubles more, which is nowhere to be found on the street", that is to say, even if he gets his wish to become the director, He was only paid more than enough to buy a new pair of shoes for each of his two children, but it was enough to make him fight for it desperately. The heavy pressure and tragic tragedy brought to the people at the bottom by the hierarchical power society makes these laughter full of sad tears. And the greater the contrast between the two, the greater the ironic effect and ideological value, the more successful the art is, the more it will make people look at it often and have a lot of aftertastes, and it will naturally become a classic work that has been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, real comedy is a kind of art, and those vulgar things that are full of sons and fathers, genitals and piss, and purely rely on insulting personality and sleazy for fun, no matter what the banner of comic dialogue, sketches, etc. is used. It's pure bullshit and has nothing to do with art. (This article is reprinted, original author: Meng Yong)
