"If you are a great artist and live in the spotlight for a long time. Now you have decided to retire, but before leaving the art stage, you want to sum up your artistic career with a work, then what is your final work? What about it?" I couldn't help asking myself after watching Chaplin's Spring...

Under the seemingly clichéd plot, there are sharp knives hidden - phyllis and henry - performing fleas, is it funny? Invisible fleas, bizarre and uninteresting performance rhythm, why the first time they exited and bounced, and the second time the audience burst into laughter and cheers?

Are the...

He thought he could still win warm applause, but the audience was all gone. He thought he was still a golden sign, but the truth was that he was old. On the surface, it is removing makeup, but in fact, it is secretly wiping away tears. He has brought happiness to others in his life, but no one can bring him happiness. Terry told the audience to smirk, but they smiled genuinely. Even if his spine is broken, he can't tell the truth to the audience, because he is a comedian, and his mission is to bring happiness to people, even if this happiness is exchanged for his pain. Chaplin played a poor actor in this film. Keaton was even worse than him. The role he played did not even have a name. The casting list said Calvero's Partner. People ignored Calfero's existence, turned off the lights, and left him silently swallowed by darkness and loneliness. This scene is too sad. Chaplin and Keaton, who were in their waning years, watched the beautiful Terry dance, and this scene was even more haunting. An era is over. PS: Chaplin is still not the food of the Oscar judges, and only won a soundtrack award.

It's a shame that Chaplin didn't articulate his point as quickly as Shakespeare or even Woody Allen, losing the orator talent in "The Great Dictator" so much so that he went from "The Spring and Autumn" to "The King of New York" "The works are technically impoverished and preachy, sometimes emotionally slipping into sentimentality, and their presumed goodness of human nature is in danger of degenerating into artificiality. However, with some uplifting comedy and tragic flashes of his silent period work to match his sound film imagery, Chaplin may not be the "tramp" character of yesteryear, but his age-old clown certainly remains. some familiar features. The prototype of the life story of the tramp falling in love with the flower girl, the business of vaudeville and the vulgarity of ballet, it is also a meta-drama of the two genres 'flirting' each other during the decline of silent film, showing him as if he is concerned about his own life and career. A self-contained summary, as a journey back to his starting point and often poignant self-criticism, the film also recognizes the comedian's crisis of losing audiences and ineptitude in the face of reality.
