    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'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...

    Chaplin sat on the stage The lights dimmed and the dark faded his face The old Chaplin was destined to be lonely The sad clown The real artist and Buster Keaton The last swan song The end of the era you could say it was A comedy but this comedy can make people...
