Films are big hits when they touch a lot of people. things are not funny in a vacuum, they're funny because we respond to some personal dislocation, some embarrassment, some humiliation, some pain we've suffered, or some desire we have.

Films Are Big Hits When They Touch

Harold Ramis
Films are big hits when they touch a lot of people. things are not funny in a vacuum, they're funny because we respond to some personal dislocation, some embarrassment, some humiliation, some pain we've suffered, or some desire we have.

More From Harold Ramis

Most of the time, when i had hits as a soloist - maybe not so much with simon & garfunkel - i was surprised they were hits. i didn't know what the hits were. i never thought that 'loves me like a rock' was going to be a hit, or 'mother and child reunion,' or '50 ways to leave your lover.' they didn't sound like what the hits sounded like at the time. radio was more open to things that weren't exactly what every other hit was.

I am tired of hiding and i am tired of lying by omission. i suffered for years because i was scared to be out. my spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered. and i'm standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of that pain.

Children Parenting Discipline
If you create something that is asking for people to respond as they're going to respond, you have to allow them to respond as they're going to respond. some of the people are going to be uninterested and some people are going to be mad for some reason, which is their business. that's just the way the world is.

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.
Pain Grief Heart
Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. this is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. but if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. we will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.
