The King of Comedy Documentary | Martin Scorsese & Robert De Niro

You missed the famous "King of Comedy" blooper.

[@paulcolbourne9112]

One of my favourite movies. Blurring the lines between suspense, comedy and the absurd. The tension and cringe factor are almost intolerable while being strangely funny and thoroughly entertaining. Every character has their own unique perspective which is fascinating to watch. The great acting creates layers of clashing realities. By the end I can never figure out whether Pupkin is a hero or a villain. He's a very clever sociopath if nothing else,

[@PhatLvis]

The proper way to describe it is that his mom yells at HIM, and then he yells back to get her off his case. To just say, "He constantly yells at his mom," conveys a false impression.

One really great story no one knows about and has never been told until now is during the casting of the film, Martin Scorcese and Robert DeNiro were looking for an actress to play MASHA (later made famous by Sandra Bernhard). Scorcese's casting director reached out to famed comedy writer Gail Parent (Carol Burnett Show, The Main Event, Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, Rhoda, Mary Tyler Moore and author of book Sheila Levine is Dead and Living in New York among many other books, films and TV shows) and set up an audition. Martin and Robert met with Gail who was (and still is) an incredible, hilarious writer to see how she would fair as an actress. Martin, Robert and Gail met in a suite at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles and Gail had a lengthy audition with Robert for over an hour. Gail said Martin was looking for an unknown to play Masha. It was a great audition and even though Gail ended up not getting the part, one very special thing happened during the audition. While they rehearsed, they went over the scene where Masha seduces a tied up Jerry Langford (played by Jerry Lewis in the film). In the scene, Masha sings the song, Come Rain or Come Shine. The opening lyrics are, "I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you, come Rain or come shine." Gail, in her usual stroke of genius, changed the lyrics during her audition to "YOU'RE gonna love ME like nobody's loved ME, come rain or come shine." It immediately lifted the scene and made the moment much better. So much so, that Martin and Robert changed the lyrics in the script to Gail's improvisationed words. Even though Gail didn't get the part, she made a lasting impression during the audition and still remembers her time with Martin and Robert fondly. I know because she told me the story while reminiscing about her career while in talks about her possible Memoir.

You know the fact that Joker basically took the king of Comedy and reworked it to the point of having Robert Deniro there in the Jerry Lewis part should have been obvious by movie critics.

[@lemonjellies4985]

De Niro's performances in almost all his film have been some of my all time favourites. However, I sometimes wonder how much of the real De Niro is present in them. He seems very apt at playing characters which could be described as not very likeable, with many seeming psychotic and violent. Of course, these are roles written by others, but that he chose or was chosen for. Yet, you can see many parallels between the performances and that leads me to think part of that is his real personality, revelling in the sort of character that he, consciously or subconsciously, identifies with.

[@B_Estes_Undegöetz]

Thanks for a deep dive analysis of a superb film. I can’t help but notice however that to say the word “alienation” as many time as you do, and not mention the fact that Scocese’s film is, as usual, effectively a scathing Marxist critique of the newly emerging 1980s celebrity obsessed culture, and shockingly prescient one at that, is to leave out the obvious critique of traditional U.S. industrial capitalist consumer bourgeois culture at the epitome of its existence, just as makes its neoliberal turn under Reaganomics as the USA de-industrializes, becomes virulently anti-working class and anti-union, to transform the middle class from a culture of “working class heroes” to one obsessed by the empty pursuit of wealth alone via the new service economy… the eptimome of which is the celebrity. Looked up to for their success at attracting attention and being attractive. The 80s when this movie came out was very much a transitional decade and the King of Comedy represents this transitional state of affairs. Rupert is alienated from his class … the working class and is shown having no role models from this class and in a shockingly prescient way is shown as a kind of very early proto-incel (although the ability of capitalism to produce thousands of alienated, exploited, and marginalized young men frozen in a state of economic boyhood thanks to sudden seismic shifts in the labor market leading to them failing to have the opportunities available to earn, save, and make a “middle class family life” available even a few years previously is well documented over several generations throughout the history of the capitalist mode of production and wealth accumulation. The “celebrity” entertainer is not a universal character throughout history, and the modern, accessible, unglamorous “working class” celebrity traces its roots back to this time, the 1970s and 1980s. The dream of seeking fame and celebrity in the USA isn’t new, but the idea of seeking fame by getting close to the famous does. Pupkins idea of transforming himself into a celebrity just by kidnapping and being close to one, since in his mind now celebrity is but a matter of somewhat arbitrary circumstances and luck that can rub off onto him. This is new. Formerly celebrities were regarded as having been permanently transformed by the experience into something bigger and essentially different and superior than they were before they were celebrities. A change of state that once recognized was permanent and couldn’t just be learned, unlearned, or worked for. (“I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.”). In any case, “The King of Comedy” is a movie about the transformations being rendered upon US society by Reagan, the “new conservatism”, deindustrialization and the death of the traditional US working class, the rabid individualism transforming the country, the wealthy ruling class’s evisceration of the nation with the new neoliberal capitalist ideology which replaced all true ruling class leaders with genuine values as role models for greedy rich businessmen, and US working class heroes with celebrity culture. The King of Comedy was a terrific satire of that transformation of capitalist America. Again … thanks for the video. The King of Comedy was one of the last true comedic satires made by Hollywood in a decade that bore witness to the transformation of mainstream comedy from satire to the “comedy of manners” (in which the target of the comedy is transformed from one social or economic class of society to misanthropic “comedies” whose target is “humanity” or “society in general” where everyone … rich, poor, smart, stupid, are depicted as equally corrupt). Horror movies is where satire remained, since horror is closely related to comedy when the protagonist survives and the world returns to a more just state than it was at the beginning. Cheers!
