About Comedy MoviesComedy movies are usually full of humor and seek to provoke laughter from the audience. Along with drama movies, horror movies and science fiction movies, comedies represent one of the most popular movie genres. There are several sub-types within the comedy genre. A comedy of manners, for example, satirizes the manners and affectations of a social class, often represented by stock characters. The plot of this type of comedy is often concerned with an illicit love affair or some other scandal, but the plot is generally less important than its witty and sometimes bawdy dialog. The comedy of manners plot has a long ancestry, dating back to "Much Ado about Nothing" by William Shakespeare. In a fish out of water comedy the main character, or characters, finds herself in an alien environment and this is the source of most of the humor. A parody or spoof movie is a comedy that satirizes other film genres or classic films. Such movies employ sarcasm, stereotyping, mockery of scenes from other movies, inconsequential violence, and the obviousness of meaning in a character's actions. The anarchic comedy uses nonsensical, stream-of-consciousness humor which often lampoons an authority. Films of this nature stem from a theatrical history of anarchic comedy on the stage and in street performances. The black comedy is based around normally taboo subjects, including, death, murder, suicide and war. Gross-out movies are a relatively recent development, and rely heavily on sexual, or "toilet" humor. The romantic comedy sub-type typically involves the development of a relationship between a man and a woman. The typical plot line follows the "boy-gets-girl", "boy-loses-girl", "boy gets girl back again" sequence. Of course, there are innumerable variants to this plot and much of the humor is derived from the social interactions and sexual tensions between the pair. It was not uncommon for early romantic comedy movies to also be a screwball comedies. This form of comedy movie was particularly popular during the 1930s and 1940s. There is no consensus definition of a screwball comedy style and it is sometimes loosely applied to slapstick or romantic comedy films. Screwballs can include a romantic element, an interplay between people of different economic strata, quick and witty dialog, role reversal, and a happy ending. - The preceding paragraph was derived from a full article available from Wikipedia and its use is governed by the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2. |
