A Good Historical Film, and a Good Comedy!

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2019)

"The Death of Stalin" is a 2017 comedy about, what else, the death of Joseph Stalin. As well as the events that proceeded the dictator's death. It's a surprisingly accurate historical that doesn't overstay it's welcome, and adds a nice level of comedy to this important event in history.
To start, the movie has hilarious character interactions, and laugh out loud moments. While still respecting history, and the people involved in the history. The film follows the power struggle after Stalin's death, and shines light on the ridiculousness of the true story. Whileost historical films are very serious in their approach, it's refreshing to see a film that saterizes history, and the funny things that actually happened.
One thing that always makes me laugh is when Stalin suffers the stroke that ended his life. Two guards were standing outside of the room, and heard suspicious activity. But they too afraid to go inside, because Stalin didn't want to be disturbed, and the two feared being killed if they went inside. And this is 100% true, making it all the funnier. And there are so many other examples of the amazing comedy.
To cut it short, "The Death of Stalin" is one of the best comedies of all time, and maybe even one of my favorite movies. I highly recommend this one, and think it deserves a higher rating.
