"We don't need no stinking psychiatrists!" {apologies to John Huston and B. Traven]
There is much in the research on stories, etc. though many aspects are those we're familiar with.
We all experience the "willful suspension of disbelief". Because it's a comedy, there is an expectation of laughs and that no one actually gets hurt (movie hurt or actually hurt). We get a vicarious thrill
(or trauma) from a well told story. We often get cortisol during tension-building (part 2), oxytocin during story climax (part 3), and dopamine during resolution (aka denouement - part 5 in a heartfelt ending).
As Robert McKee says, "Nowhere but at the movies do we pay good money to sit in the dark, elbow to elbow with strangers, and willingly subject ourselves to being scared, crying, and all manner of emotions
we wouldn't want in life."
Just go back to the Three Stooges. We loved to see their hijinks and trusted that they didn't get hurt. Or back to vaudeville of course. Or all the way to Aristotle's "Poetica" for 3-part story structure,
etc. (or Horace's "Ars Poetica" for 5-part story structure).
There are many more wonderful aspects but those will have to wait for the next in our serial!
Tell good stories!

Now what would be cool is a companion video produced by stunt people to show how each of these shots appeared to look serious when they were not. We use the SDS on burn gel in one
of my courses to illustrate one of these, but there are so many other neat tricks here.
Might be nice if there also was a psychiatrists review of why people watch these damn movies which probably would be most disturbing of all.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Non-chemical hazards and injuries
A lot of commentary on this list is concerned with hazards and injuries
related to chemical exposure, but non-chemical injuries are also a
concern. For an overview, here is a clip of a trauma surgeon commenting
on all the injuries incurred in the movies Home Alone and Home Alone 2.
Enjoy
