We are greeted immediately with the nonsensical behavior of Mr. Driftwood. His mannerisms and speech are outlandish and in real life, would be totally inappropriate.

Such tomfoolery is not a commonplace experience in one’s everyday life, and so we recognize what we are seeing on screen as something separate, and are able to enjoy it.
Watching…
