Fort Graveyard shows comedies are more tragic

The blistering cries of the war can be interpreted as a symphony. Only the musical and empathetic are able to decipher its true meaning. Asked what those wails mean, no concrete answer would be heard. Just saying pain is too narrow, suffering too shallow. The best approximation is everything: woe and joy, hope and dismay – masala.

Westward Desperado Set the Standard of War Comedies

It could be said war and comedies don't work well together. How can anything humorous be said about the matters. Those who do must have lost their minds from the war! Cracking jokes and grinning while speaking of most horrific events in human history like it were a regular Friday night, is one of the best ways to come with the trauma. The trauma which never heals, always stays where-ever the eyes turn. Telling a story really helps get the pain off the chest. In a way, Westward Desperado is exactly just that.
