One of the most common movie genres that stretches from as far back as the silent films is Comedy. Comedic movies are designed to amuse and entertain through humorous exaggeration of situations, actions and human characteristics. In essence, they are intended to make you laugh!
Some movie watchers say that Comedy movies portray situations that don’t correspond with anything real and generally ‘just aren’t serious enough’. But who said serious is best?
Not only for the purpose of having a good time and rejoicing in the misfortunes of the characters on screen, Comedy movies are one of the best ways to laugh.
Research shows that laughter relieves stress and muscle tension, strengthens the immune system and reduces the risk of heart attack. Even respiratory problems, high blood pressure, viruses, tumors and other illnesses can be relieved with laughter.
According to some articles, studies have shown that patients that have a clown present prior to surgery had less anxiety. This reduces the risk of complications.
A Dr. Norman Cousins wrote a book about how he recovered from a life-threatening tissue disease by watching Comedy movies. "Laughter is an antidote to apprehension and panic," wrote Dr. Cousins.
During Christmas time, everyone is stressed about just about everything. How much the tree cost, how many presents they still have to get, dealing with family relations, last minute party details and why the dog keeps chewing the tinsel. On top of that the flu always seems to go around, your back aches from cleaning, you haven’t slept in 3 days and it’s nowhere near over.
When all is said and done, take the time to watch a Comedy movie. Reduce your stress and strengthen your immune system. Laugh at the ridiculous behavior of some people and the magnified scenarios of day to day life.
Christmas is a time of laughter and merriment with friends and family. For those celebrating at home and even those who are just taking a quick breather before going back to work, celebrate the Christmas season or end of year with a surge of laughter in order to begin 2008 with a smile on your face and a positive attitude.
