For different countries, they have their own way to show the comedy.

China
 
Most of the China's movies are related to their history. Different generations shows different kinds of movies. However, no matter at what generation, there is one thing that will not be changed, which is all the stories in the movies are from people. Most of the Chinese directors wanted to show the normal people's story in order to attract more audience. Therefore, China's comedy are from people. 

Korean
 
For Korean, their film industry developed much slower than China, their first movie came out at 1901, its time was very short. At that time, same as China, most of the movies are related to their history, which is about defending Japan. Due to that generation's issue, only two to three movies can be created a year, till 1980. In that case, it is clearly to see that Korean's Drama Series are much mature than their movies. However, Korean's comedy movie now are becoming more and more popular, most of them are telling stories about schools. As we all know that, lots of interesting things are just happened in school, like first love, which people will never forget. In that case, comedy things in school are now become a popular source in Korean. 

Japan
 
It is known that Japan is famous for its Animated and Adult Video. For their movies, we can hardly see any popular film; instead of that, Dracula movies is already famous all over the world, it is all because the way Japanese live. Japanese people have a really stressful living style, most of the time they spend are on the work. Hence, they like to watch Dracula movies rather than comedy movies in order to release their stress. 

England
 
England do not have too much comedy movies as well. But there is one comedy movie now are known everywhere, its name is "Mr Bean". Before that series of movies, "Mr Bean" is a drama series. The difference between England drama series between Korean's are "Mr Bean" is really short and with no one talking inside. It is a classic way to show the comedy way. But now, England made it as a movie and let the "Mr Bean" start to talking, the reason I think it is because they want "England Comedy" to be accepted by people from difference places. 

American
 
For American, it is hardly to say how many different tapes of comedy movies they have. The reason is that American is a developed country with a multi-culture environment, in that case, lots of culture are talked about in the movies. Also, due to it is a freedom country, so lots of things can be talked in the movie, such as sex, skin color and men and women. Therefore, American comedy movies are vivid.

"...be water, my friend" - Bruce Lee

Chinese martial arts are a fundamental element of 20th-century Chinese popular culture. Martial arts fiction is a popular film genre which emerged in the early 20th century and peaked in popularity during the 1960s to 1980s.

If one speaks of great Chinese martial arts movies, it is necessary to move back in time to see great examples. Nowadays, most of the Chinese martial arts movies are done with special effects.

Notice martial arts movies of the late 1960s to 1970s... that is truly Chinese martial arts; not that Donnie Yen’s Chinese martial arts movies isn’t good, but if he had to fact Bruce Lee in his heydays... I wonder.

Every country own the different culture in the world. When a country to show its culture by the movies, they always choose the different ways. For example, they show the different kinds of horror movies.

When we talk about the horror movies, we always think of some famous countries, like Japan and America. They are all having the different culture horror movies.

Japan is a big country, which produce the horror movies. When talk the movies in Japan, I always think of its horror movies. In the front rank of the horror movies in Japan, Ju-on: The Grudge is the perfect horror movies, which we must talk about it. It was act in 2003 and 2009. It has two seasons. America also react this movies. I still remember the little boy run in the room in this movie.

Ju-on: The Grudge
America is a movie country; there are many kinds of movies from it. The horror movie is one kind of these movies. In these horror movies, the Final Destination is the best one I like. It is different from the Ju-on The Grudge, no ghost in it, you don’t know who kill these people, and who is the next one. It is too blood for many people, but I like it. There are 4 parts about it.

Documentary - A Definition for the Digital Age

Documentary films, a film where it talks about a person's life. From sport stars to singers, each stars share their real life story to people to tell them where they came from. It also shows the fans how many hard work that they had been through and this makes their fans to understand their idol a little more. Last but not least, it motivates people from dreaming big and dreams will come true when you believe in yourself. Below are some examples of documentary films that I love to share.

Comedy film is a genre of film in which the main emphasis is on humour. They are designed to elicit laughter from the audience. Comedies are mostly light-hearted dramas and are made to amuse and entertain the audiences. The comedy genre humorously exaggerate situations, the way of speaking, the action and characters. 

Films in this style traditionally have a happy ending (the black comedy being an exception). One of the oldest genres in film, some of the very first silent movies were comedies. Comedy, unlike other film genres, puts much more focus on individual stars, with many former stand-up comic transitioning to the film industry due to their popularity. While many comic films are lighthearted stories with no intent other than to amuse, others contain political or social commentary (such as Wag the Dog and Man of the Year).

The comedy genre can be considered the oldest film genre (and one of the most prolific and popular). Comedy was ideal for the early silent films, as it was dependent on visual action and physical humour rather than sound. Slapstick, one of the earliest forms of comedy, poked fun at physical mishap, usually in practical jokes, accidents and water soakings.

Horror from your mind

Many people don't like horror movies, they feel very afraid to watch horror movies. Some people don't like the blood people; some people don't like the music in the movies, even the actor open a closed door. In fact, people always take themselves in the movies; they imagine the horror things will happen on themselves.
There are many kinds of horror movies. The Slashed films, there is a killer will kill people one by one. No one knows who is the next. This kind of movie always has the blood and the body of dead people. It looks too violence.
SAW

Paranormal horror, there are some supervision things happened on people. We always afraid about the things which we don’t know. Not the real people, the Paranormal can do many things which the real people can not do.
INSIDIOUS

Monster movies. There are big and dangerous monster can kill people.
GODZILLA

Vampire horror. The people can drink blood of people. This kind of movie is very classical.

"Whoa" Sci-Fic!

Science fiction movies comes in all sorts of varieties; such as extraterrestrial life forms, alien worlds, extrasensory perception, and time travel. While the technology in these stories tends to be more advanced than our own, it's not necessarily outside the realm of what we believe will one day be possible.

Great science fiction movie makes me sit back in my chair and go, “whoa.”
I love that feeling. It doesn’t have to be from something new, and many new things alone won’t do it, but an idea, or image, or something amazing that’s unique in my experience. Whoa. Love it.

The poster on the left is a prime example of a great science fiction movie, District 9.

District 9 is an excellent piece of science fiction with a great idea/hidden message of a very accurate view into the life on earth.

Without giving anything away, the whole experience is a comment on how we as a species behave. Whoa!
