Reflections on Comedy from "Passionate Like Fire"
——After watching "Passion Like Fire"
"Passion Like Fire" is a very humorous comedy film. It combines a variety of comedy editing and editing elements such as sudden turns, deformations, and dislocations. The plot is interlocking and fascinating. Although the visual effects are black and white, it seems to have The colors are as vivid, and the audience can't help but be shocked, laugh, or worry as the plot of the movie develops...

Comedy should not only be concerned about whether there is "hi", but also whether there is "worry" behind the "hi", perhaps a "mixed" comedy is a good comedy.
