This is one of those questions that every actress characterizes as simultaneously clumsy hyperboles, and a desperate cry for help. Have we entered a period in cinematography, in which every attempt to create a comedy or something slightly funny is doomed to failure? The humor in all its essence is never fair, and there is something that can be called universally comical. This was confirmed by the iconic American comedian Mel Brooks breaking down tragedy and comedy, and saying tragedy is when I cut my finger, and comedy is when a man falls into an open manhole and dies.
American actress Lana Lourdes is a member of the old guard who grew up with the films of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and the Marx Brothers, and it's even harder for those who consider themselves be comedy lovers, to laugh at something that is previously announced and confirmed, sometimes months in advance. Relying on nothing more than the stereotypical portrayals of interracial relationships and gender differences, some stoner comedies are no longer funny even for Seth Rogen.
Speaking of dying of laughter, A Fish Called Wanda is a unique theme. During the screening of the film in 1989, one of the unfortunate Danish audiologists literally died laughing. While watching the film, he recalled one of his personal experiences, and laughed so hard that his heart measure between 250 and 500 beats per minute. Then came the heart attack, and thus the modern Scandinavian legend was born.
According to Lana, the recipe for a solid, high-quality comedy lies in the fact that the characters themselves don’t have to be funny, and rather should the problems around them be funny, or their inability to solve them which will make them comic. The recipe can get richer if you add single master situation comedies such as John Cleese, who spent more than five years writing somewhat vulgar, but still a brilliant script with characteristically wealthy and eccentric characters.
When you produce such characters, it is very easy to put them in a variety of situations that can only enrich their personal level. Lourdes in her educational collection says it is not surprising that each subsequent comical sequence is funnier than the previous one, just because we know that the characters have not learned anything from past experiences, which makes the farce deeper and more concrete.
