Movie Reviews of Arab-American Comedy Tour
Movie Review: This to me is the Arab side of Don Rickels to laugh at one self
Summary: 5 Stars
Axis of Comedy is a must for all cultures. I first heard it on KLOS the Mark and Bryan show doing an interview with one of the comedians. I had to pull over from laughing so hard and my eyes tearing. For the 15 minutes of interview and a few clips from their DVD, I immediatly found it on Amazon.com at Movielink at the best price in town. I ordered it the same day and received it in nine days. After watching it with my wife, I rolled up in stitches. For those of you who remember Don Rickels, he was a night club comedian who's jokes were most always picking on another race, culture, and religion (in a good and clean way). At the end of every performace, Don would appoligize to any and everyone who may have been offended by his humor. He said you have to laugh at yourself before you can laugh at each other. To this day in his 70's, he is still doing his act and he started in the 60's. It was his way of showing in times of war and racism, you can have fun making fun at others and relating this kind of humor to himself. This is what Axis of Comedy has done. Don was using his american Jewish culture and Axis is using their Arab, american humor to make the world see that they were not the cause of 911 as Don was not the cause of the Koren war. With comedy that works like this, I would hope it could spread around the world and maybe it could help even if in the smallest way, to lay down the anger everywhere, and use comedy to fight back. I am an american jew. When 911 happened, my thoughts of all Arab countries, people, (even americans with a dark tan), did leave me to wonder how much hate and anger that was stored up in me. With this DVD, I realize it is not color, race, creed or religion, it is people who use their built up anger to vent it on others who have more or are different in the ways they were and continue to be taught. Sorry to get off on a tangent, I think I was just trying to promote laughter and comedy as a way of taking my anger out on anyone. I personally can not laugh and cry the same time. You also can't love and hate the same time.
Thumbs up for the Axis of Comedy team. Hopefully you can break the barrier between good and bad with your comedy act. You just did it for me.
