Comedy Genre Films - History

A comedy movie is a type of genre which emphasis on humor. Comedy movies were created to entertain an audience and also to amuse them by exaggerating real life situations to an extreme. Films of this style usually have a happy ending. These types of movies are one of the oldest genres in movie history. Starting around the 1930's comedy movies had stated to air in black and white, then little by little technology started improving. This made comedy movies a big hit! Color televisions came out, and made movies even more entertaining to watch! Now we have wonderful high definition quality and surround sound. Comedy, unlike other film genres puts alot more focus on individual stars. Many actors or actresses that have starred in comedy genre movies have started off by doing stand up comedy (by being a comedian). There are several of comedy genres such as action comedy, comedy horror, sci-fi comedy and military comedy. Action comedy relies on the actors or actress to bring out the comedy and jokes within the film. Horror comedy is a literary and film genre that combines elements of comedy and horror fiction. Sci-Fi comedy is a mix between science fiction and comedy. Military comedy is a humor based on stereotypes of military life. Military humor portrays a wide range of characters and situations in the armed forces. I would now like to that the time to discuss a very famous comedian / actor who has been in several different comedy movies. Jim Carrey! I never get tired of watching movies he has starred in. He is a canadian born actor who became a U.S. citizen in 2004. He is a actor and producer. He is famous for his rubbery body movements and flexible facial expressions. He is also a two-time Golden Globe-winner. This video below shows the top ten funniest clips of Jim Carrey's movies.
