Almost every comedy you see is about people making all wrong choices and making all the errors of judgement possible. Good comedy is when it works on this scale. Because it is psychologically very real.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Life is dramatic and comedic at times. Sometimes in the most dramatic situations, there is comedy. And good comedy comes from a sense of reality.
Comedy's so subjective, and if someone comes to watch, doesn't get it, doesn't find it funny, then fine.
I find comedy to be really scary, because it can go so wrong so easily, and the margin for error is so huge - and I guess that's what makes it funny, that tension.
I think good comedy is a commitment to the absurd in that the situation for the actors should be virtually played like a drama.
What's great about comedy, obviously, is that you set up a situation that people assume one thing and then you break the assumption. That's basically the backbone to comedy. You set up a situation, let people make an assumption, and then you break the assumption.
There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
I mean comedy is something that's very personal and people have strong opinions about.
Real comedy doesn't just make people laugh and think, but makes them laugh and change.
I think comedy tells a lot; you can tell what people think by what they laugh at.
When you do comedy, you get impervious to good and bad reviews.
