Cinema in most developed countries is becoming one of the priority sectors, because it is cinema that is capable of maximally demanding all the hidden and open abilities of a person, the immense and incommensurable reservoirs of his soul.

3D comedy

Increasingly, comedy films began to contain unthinkable special effects, 3D graphics, while they are almost devoid of meaning. It is a pity, but among the most modern comedies there are no heroes who would be interesting to the viewer for their human features, the power of charm, and gesticulation. Comedies, of course, have changed, but the audience has remained the same. As before, the layman wants to see films about himself, to compare himself with the characters in the picture. For commercial success, you can create an entertaining movie with characters - mutants, monsters, robots, but they will be one-time. But, if you shoot a comedy about a real hero - a person, with his experiences, feelings, ups, downs, then this work will live for a very long time, and during each viewing it will certainly please and make the audience laugh.
