    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...

    Chaplin and Keaton compose a song at the end; Heroes end, beauty is twilight, time is more beautiful than this; watch "Hitchcock Truffaut Talks", "Leone's Past", "Waiting for the Clouds" ", watching "Ozu Yasujiro Travels", at the end, I can't help myself... Panorama, the lens language of Chaplin's films is quite...

    Chaplin and Keaton are like Mars hitting the earth. Less comedy elements and more talkativeness. It's not their own line that...

    Too sad, let’s talk about something irrelevant, the United States in the 1950s was not as open as China is now, see Lao Yang and Weng Fan. The ending is very interesting and indescribable. Cavallo died in the applause of the audience, but the applause was most likely due to the lobbying of the popular ballerina and the sympathy of the audience, which is precisely not what Cavallo wanted. 9...

    Chaplin's only Oscar, but there's no way an Oscar could describe his achievement. When I saw that Chaplin worked so hard to perform those shows that made the king laugh at the Middle Ages, I couldn't help but think of the disappearing Chinese folk art...

    This is what Chaplin looked like after taking off his heavy makeup. I have always had no resistance to old people. The heroine is very beautiful, like a typical British beauty of that era, with some shadow of Vivien Leigh, but her figure doesn't look like a ballerina. In the end, Chaplin and Keaton performed together, the only time the two most famous comedians of the silent film era worked together as a footnote to...

    A masterpiece in film

    This year, Chaplin was 63 years old and Keaton was 57 years old; before this "Stage Career", the two masters of the silent film era did not even buy each other.

    Fortunately, there is this movie that allows them to be on the same stage. Keaton is really willing to be a green leaf this time: "If...

    The Significance of "Stage Career" and Its Aesthetic Category

    Conclusion: The Significance and Aesthetic Category of "A Stage Career"

    Engels said: "What we can now speculate about the order of the relations between the sexes after the imminent disappearance of capitalist production is mainly negative, and mostly limited to what will disappear. But , what will...
