    Three and a half. Chaplin’s last director and starring feature film, he himself only appeared as a guest appearance for more than ten seconds, but with the strongest tilted shot of the whole film, he finally bid farewell to the screen with a hesitant attitude. I also shed tears for this-perhaps this is not a comedy or love, but a real farewell ceremony. Brando and Roland's play may not match up, and eventually left the audience's sight amidst the sound of dancing. The opposition between...

    The master's posthumous work, it's a pity that Marlon Brando's temperament is in a comedy, like a down-and-out gangster with a gloomy face and a mysterious face, but he is a paper tiger that has lost his claws. The two people who had no spark at all seemed to be suffering every minute. They couldn't see the joy or experience the sadness, only a long...

    Without Chaplin's exquisite physical performance, the film has lost its soul as a Zhuo comedy. As a romantic film, the roles of Wang Laowu and the big-breasted woman are too vulgar, and the plot development of the commercial film highly caters to the audience's ending, making this film a flashy feast! This is not something that can be changed by choosing the right character. At the end of "The King in New York" Chaplin left by plane, in fact, it can be used as the master's curtain call...

    There are only 2 real gimmicks in the film, and both are used repeatedly. The variable of 1 is small: as long as you open the door, it will automatically trigger an exaggerated escape response. 2 Involving clothing, to be precise, dressing and undressing. The key to the two gimmicks is the same psychological motivation: fear of breaking the private space and revealing the naked state, because not only the place and the situation are not suitable, but the clothes do not fit. I saw Zhuo appear in...

    I don't understand why I originally disliked the male protagonist who hated the female protagonist very much, but because a man invited the female protagonist to drink to express his goodwill, he suddenly fell in love with the female protagonist. I don't like Brando very much. There are surprises in the cameo part of Zhuo...
