Sherwood Schwarz's 1964 "Island Giligan" is a series of Comedy Slapstick, yes, but there is something indisputable for it. Although his characters were captured To an undiscovered desert islandAnd it seemed that there was little hope of escape, there was an impetus for unconscious optimism in the core of the show. The seven captured preparations were depressed by their torment, but still chipper and optimistic on a daily basis. They resembled Voltaire Candide in this regard. They live in the best possible world.

It can be easily compared to "Giligan Island" with "Myth of Sisyphus", "" Albert Camus's treaty for the philosophical pleasures of futility. The cessation can be trapped in an endless loop of hope and despair, often ready to be saved only to see that the effort fails again, but there is a strange joy to accept the absurdity of their plight. "Giligan Island" can also be compared to the characters in Comedy Del'Art, the ancient Italian comedy tradition that relies on well -known action characters for their scenarios. Castaways are modern versions of Pantalone, Il Dottore, et al. Giligan (Bob Denver) is clearly Arlecino.

You can see the influence of comedy in the interactions between Gilligan and the skipper (Alan Hale Runior). Giligan is innocent, mainly unconscious and always clumsy. He can use it saving and destroying accessories with his carelessness, but it's hard to stay angry at Gilligan because he is so brazen and merciless. Our all of our anger is concentrated through the skirt, which often bears the burden of Gilligan's clumsy. It is the skipper who is pulled into the face with Gilligan stairs. It is the skipper who falls from his hammock when Illilligan screams. They are perfectly comical duo and one that comedy historians will remember in eternity.

In an interview with Birmingham news (manually prescribed by METV), Denver once said that he also felt his comical chemistry with Hale is classic, which says their dynamics is very similar to the relationship of Lorel and Hardy.

To provide them with a context about when Denver gave the interview, he actually had to describe the premise of readers' Island Giligan. This, then, was before the series to be in popularity in 1964, and his characters were not yet inserted into American culture. Listening to the elevator for "Giligan Island" is unusual, but Denver is doing exemplary work, saying:

"It's a kind of 'Robinson Cruso' with laughter. I think it's funny. In fact, it's pretty weird ... We shot the pilot in Kaai ... Now we're in the fourth episode ... They come well, I think (...) Jimim Bakus is one of the funniest men I've ever seen. He and Natalie (Schaffer) play a rich man with his wife. Two really get out of the left field.

A little imagination should be used to predict the discovery of the "island of Giligan" for the first time. The presence of Bakus was certainly a sales point, as he was probably the biggest starvet that Schwartz landed for the cast. As for him and Hale, Denver wanted to reassure readers their antiques would be funny and precisely compared themselves and Hale with Famous duo for comedy. One was big and angry, the other was small and meek. Reads great. Denver wisely described as follows:

"Alan Hale, Runior and I are a team, a little like Laurel and Hardy.

Denver could not foresee how much the mass "Island of Gilligan" will become, much less that will remain in repetition for generations after his cancellation. The fact that millions have gathered on the Island Giligan and that her silly comedy has remained popular for so long, is just a testimony to his classic grounds.
