Is the world more like a comedy or a drama?

  1. Whenever I watch a comedic film it's as if I see the world through that comedic lens... as in even if the topic of the film is murder but it utilizes a light hearted theme, I don't come out of the movie theater feeling anxious and stressed. On the other hand, a dramatic film may contain the very same subject matter as the comedic film, however it's presented in a much more dramatic way (Duh.)

    Basically I am wondering whether the real world is more like a dark drama or a lighthearted comedy... I know it may depend on the situation of course but what is the overall "tone" of life.

    Am I making sense? :wacko:

  4. Anything comedy can be seen as drama and the opposite is true, it comes down to perception.

  8. Well said.
     
  9. I heard once that life came out of this one magical book called the Bible or something and the main character named Jesus or something was some kind of jokester magician. It's a cool story too, just haven't got the time to read what it's all about.

    Life sounds pretty funny to me.
    :jump:

  11. Maybe I'm just high, but that sounds like that message could form an awesome poster of some sort. I'd buy one at least :p.

  18. Comedy requires tragedy and drama in order to be effective, so I would say both.
