Apples McGrind posted:It was mostly Cooper's delivery of the whole thing. I think the line was "it doesn't make sense. Maybe it'll make sense if we gently caress" or something along those lines. It also wasn't filmed with any sort of intensity or horror like an assault scene. I was a flat medium shot that just sort of lingered that offered no emotional connection. I don't want to pigeon hole the movie, but overall I think it is best understood as a dark comedy, a large number of scenes are played for and meant to be comedic, although there are some sincerely disturbing parts. Cooper becomes increasingly unhinged but so many of his responses are over the top, I was often laughing. I was certainly laughing after Amy Adams throws Cooper out of the bathroom and there's a spiraling shot from above while she goes to the bathroom and screams, the whole thing was too over the top and absurd not to be intentionally funny. I thought the assault scene you mentioned was actually played pretty straight, unless you count the end when he asks where his boss is so he can go beat him up. The ensuing "shoot out" between Louis C.K. and Cooper also had me laughing. Surlaw posted:It's a pretty safe bet that the creepy, uncomfortable scene that creeped you out was intended to. It's a pathetic guy hitting rock bottom and losing control in a really gross way. Which part of it made you think you should have been laughing? I laughed at pretty much every stage of Cooper hitting rock bottom. Obviously the movie isn't just a comedy and certain scenes aren't the least bit funny, but the movie has a lot going on.
