Our comedies are not to be laughed at.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Comedy in America is very serious. Either they laugh, or they don't.
Usually comedy is only available to us ladies in the romantic comedy. That's why I hate romantic comedies.
I don't see myself making comedies always.
People want to see comedies where characters aren't sacrificed for the jokes.
Comedies always need to be provocative and catch your attention in a way that dramas don't have to.
American comedies especially are all about these men being browbeaten by their wives and it's impossible for me to watch.
A lot of modern comedies are difficult to watch too, because they're so ironic and so detached and so quote-unquote clever. They kind of keep you at arm's length. They can be really funny, but they're not really nourishing.
You cannot have the drama without comedy.
Why do we laugh at such terrible things? Because comedy is often the sarcastic realization of inescapable tragedy.
We need comedies in the world! We need to laugh, it's all so hard.
