Historical black comedy seems like an unexplored genre, but maybe I just haven't heard of any others?
>>216523360>Historical black comedyThe Siege of Jerusalem (70AD) was a good one
>>216523360Hori ma panenko AKA The Firemen's BallIt's set in a small east of the Iron Curtain village, a fireman is retiring and the commitee plans a ball in his honor. Hilarity ensues. The humor is subtle, a very enjoyable watch.
>>216523360Like, 14 episodes of Blackadder. The rest are shit
>>216523360Check out Schindler's List
>historical Nothing in this movie is historical, pure fiction.
>>216523360>Historical black comedyWith the right mindset, literally any historical documentary.
it's comfy but not very funnyevery scene is just "lol they killed and raped people xD"
>>216523758correct. Stalin is still alive today
>>216523783The humour comes from the contrast of it being such an obstenstibly serious state yet it was run like a basket case. A Death of Trump movie 50 years from now could potentially be kino
>>216523783The humor comes from watching top tier comedy actors play off each other's vibes. It's like Clue in that way.
>>216523986funnily enough except for Michael Palin and the guy from Arrested Development/Archer, not many of the actors are known primarily as comedy actors. Buscemi's done comedy, sure. But he's not known for comedies by and large.
>>216523979It wouldn't work because 21st century America is not a serious state. The backdrop of this movie is secret police, people disappearing, famine, a world war, genocide, etc. Nothing in America comes close to this, there are no stakes.
