A LOOK AT COMEDY FILMS? (In the
Entertainment industry.)
A look at Comedy Films?
Comedy Films are "make 'em laugh" films
designed to elicit laughter from the audience. Comedies are light-hearted
dramas, crafted to amuse, entertain, and provoke enjoyment. The comedy genre
humorously exaggerates the situation, the language, action, and characters.
Comedies observe the deficiencies, foibles, and frustrations of life, providing
merriment and a momentary escape from day-to-day life. They usually have happy
endings, although the humor may have a serious or pessimistic side.
Comedy is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on
humor. These films are designed to make the audience laugh through amusement
and most often work by exaggerating characteristics for humorous effect. Films
in this style traditionally have a happy ending (black comedy being an
exception). One of the oldest genres in film, some of the very first silent
movies were comedies, as slapstick comedy often relies on visual depictions,
without requiring sound. When sound films became more prevalent during the
1920s, comedy films took another swing, as laughter could result from burlesque
situations but also dialogue.
Comedy, compared with other film genres, puts much more
focus on individual stars, with many former stand-up comics transitioning to
the film industry due to their popularity. While many comic films are
lighthearted stories with no intent other than to amuse, others contain
political or social commentary (such as The King of Comedy and Wag the Dog).
