He also discovered Leslie Nielsen as a comedy actor.
abstractly, extraordinary - yes. but not black.
I would call this creation of the Zucker brothers a standard of parody and banter, a comedy of the absurd - that's where the beauty, subtlety, and skill that all current creators lack.
and old man Nielsen, as a mega-actor, was discovered long before this tape, where he was already gray...
And it's written about Nielsen that he's open as a comedy actor, not as an actor at all. Read carefully.
in the few things that you have listed as examples, there is more absurdity than blackness.
"black humor" is "Tucker & Dale vs Evil ", "Fargo " or "The Ladykillers".
The thesis about Nielsen is open as an actor of comedy - I still can't share it, but I'm ending the argument, because this opinion, as it turned out, is textbook.
perhaps my personal perception of his earlier works in the same Columbo, M*A*S*H, and even Forbidden Planet, which involuntarily evoke a smile, is not objective due to the fact that that at the time of watching, Nielsen had already managed to fall in love with me as a comedy actor who does everything with a serious face.
It's probably like with Rowan Atkinson - it's a little difficult to switch to Maigret after Mr. Bean and Johnny English...
- Yes.
"The first time?"
– No, I was worried before.
"Are you kidding?"
– I'm not joking. And don't call me Stolom))
"Would you like a whiskey, madam?"
"How dare you! (she was indignant and sniffed a trail of cocaine)
So much wordplay, so many jokes with idioms and colloquial expressions. A lot of politically incorrect humor, ridiculing everyone and everything, starting from Blacks and ending with pedophiles.
Oh, nostalgia. No one can make such a film now. I'm not even sure if it's okay to show it. Well, everyone will be offended at once)))
