Really now - what bloody moron inserted "comedy" as part of this movie's "genres" ??

[–] Peloquin3 17 years ago

What, are you crazy? This movie is totally part comedy! Heck, I usually start with comedy when describing it.

Oh, it has alot of funny elements - but it's waaaay more Noir than just simple comedy...

in my opinion should have been a comedy all the way though. I know ima getta lota flack for this but i dont bye the emotional aspects of it. Jus dont work for me.

Also plz dont compare this to oldboy because of the apparent violence.

Nah, everybody has the right to it's own opinion.

And the movie coulda worked even as a simple comedy.
I still think it's brilliant as it is now, but that's my opinion.

wait wait wait... did you just call this a noir film?

[–] bullacc 17 years ago

No, i said it would be better described as a black comedy, rather than simple "comedy".

"Noir" means "black", just the language is different.

There were a few parts that I chuckled at (the bee scene) but in all truth I was mostly disturbed, saddened when watching the film. I too find it odd that it is considered a comedy even a dark one.

I know you're being stupid on purpose, but i'm bored so i'll dignify you with an answer:
I've already said that the movie has funny elements. It's just that not everything that has funny bits is a comedy, and not everything that is called a comedy actually is funny (see your favourite movie, the hangover).

It's a genre blender, comedy, crime, drama, torture porn, sci-fi.

You really can't categorize it as one genre, it's a complete ride through multiple genres and what I loved about it. At it's core though, I consider it a tragic drama.
