Every milieu has something ridiculous about it - film-making, the music world, painting - because people who take themselves seriously become funny pretty quickly.
Even children playing, as frightened as they can get, for the most part, still have a little part of them that doesn't believe it's real, or that flickers in and out.
Everybody's worst fear that the person they love the most is completely unavailable to them and when they speak, they speak in tongues and you don't know what they're saying and there's no way they'll ever really understand you.
