Laughter against fear: The Kangaroo Conspiracy looks at crises with humor
The bizarre, comical situations in which the protagonists stumble into are partly taken from Kling’s personal experience, as he tells us in an interviewHowever, he understated the conspiracy theories because they were too absurd.
In times when one crisis follows another and society seems to be becoming more and more divided, it is good to approach these issues with humor, because Laughter takes poweras Kling says:
I think you can talk about almost everyone laughs. It is more about how come you laugh about it. What is the tendency of the joke? […] By laughing you lose your fear and fear is contrary to a self-determined life. In this respect, humor can definitely help you to free yourself.
The Comedy for a cozy movie nightwhere you want to be entertained. Kling, who is responsible for the direction and screenplay, is particularly strong in the kitchen table dialogues. The kangaroo who loves schnapps chocolates is rhetorically also in top form again and not averse to arguments.
