It's just that their calmness and cruelty in gangster movies make people ignore their sorrow and exaggeration in comedy movies: Al Pacino once completely overshadowed the Hollywood comedy genius Adam in the nonsensical movie "Jack and Jill" Sandler’s limelight, and he played Al Pacino himself in the movie. The clouds are light, but they are all jokes; Robert De Niro has never been since his debut. He has not given up his attempts at comedy movies. The number of Robert De Niro comedy movies such as "Midnight Run", "Boss Step Aside" and "Meet Father-in-Law" seems to be no less than his gangster movies.
