Theme Reveal
Humor in film -- what makes me laugh.
Once again I selected a theme that I need... this time it's laughter!
In last year's "L" post (found here) I shared, "Negative thoughts plague me more than I want to admit, and laughter is a natural anti-depressant. 'Why I watch movies (as if I need a reason)...' well, because I need laughter."
Most of the movies I will reference during the challenge will be comedies, of course, but also a few dramas and action flicks because they use spots of humor--comic relief--to give the audience a break from the tension.
Life needs comedic breaks, too.
Charlie Chaplin said, "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot."
And a woman I greatly admire, Marjorie Pay Hinckley, quipped, "The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache."
Perhaps what makes me laugh will tickle your funny-bone, too... so, follow along in April as I discuss the A to Z's of humorous elements in film.
