so it's OK if you've never heard of this movie!..........The King Of Comedy! and yes! it's a Martin Scorsese movie!
Those who THINK they know Martin Scorsese may say that he's just able to turn some certain scripts to masterpieces like 'Good fellas' or 'Taxi driver' or 'The departed'. So they'll be shocked when they see this one: Jerry Lewis in a Scorsese movie!
by searching online you'll find only two genres for this movie: comedy and drama.... but basically, it's almost none of them! i also checked some books ( yes! i check books for a movie genre when it comes to a Scorsese movie!) but i could only find drama and comedy!
THE KING OF COMEDY IS A BLACK COMEDY!
it's not like other Scorsese movies that we can see the wild streets of New York where Italians and Irish guys bring all the violence and sexuality to the movies...
the king of comedy is a beautiful portrait of beautiful lives in a painful unfair world... where you can SEE the people screaming instead of hearing them...
so when a movie is called comedy it should make us laugh or at least that what almost all of us expect! so that's why i say it's not a comedy! it's a black comedy!
