It is said that Ao Fatty is also the creator of the script. No wonder the script is so wonderful. Unfortunately, Chaplin still retains the exaggerated acting skills of the silent film era, and the filming method is too...

[Exhibited by China Film Archive] It is still a film about noble love and justice. Chaplin's performance is free and easy, without the discomfort of a silent film actor to a sound film. The story is full of exaggerations and coincidences. Although he plays a serial murderer, he is affectionate and cute, making it impossible to hate at all. Comedy elements are old-fashioned and funny. It's just that the self-argument at the end seems to be preachy and sophistry, but it loses its dashing and free...

Deleuze said, "Isn’t Chaplin just trying to tell us that we can find a potential Hitler and a potential murderer in everyone?" Killing one person makes you a criminal, killing a million makes you a hero, you have to Say that Verdoux's ethics is correct. Compared to Chaplin's other movies, this one is the most evil, but also the most profound. At the end of the movie, Verdue didn't make any compromises. He loved the most affectionate person in the...

I don’t know if this is Chaplin’s darkest movie. Although there are still his signature silent performances and funny supporting aunts, this movie just after World War II is full of all his accusations against the despair of the society at that time. The culprit for murder is always a single person. It was actually an adaptation of a real story, the screenwriter and Orson...

The big plot is good, the execution is too rough, and the various transfers are not smooth enough, especially the promotion of the ending, which is too far-fetched in terms of the character's personality. However, considering the creation time, we still have to add a star to the film's...

Orson Welles' Chaplin, a very different Chaplin. Chaplin became a symbol of the spirit of the times (the Great Depression, World War II), lost his job, and then rushed to the world of women and capital (stock market), killing people by technology and deceiving by words. The only time, facing a woman who had just been released from prison and had a disabled husband, Mr. Verdoux thought of his equally disabled wife, and finally he changed his mind to kill her. The world eventually crushed his...

In the depression years, in order to survive by coaxing and trapping wealthy old women for real wives and children, under the relaxed and carefree face, what is hidden is a pessimistic and indifferent heart. The female prisoner extended a helping hand. Verdoux was a victim and product of social change, he had no love in life and no fear in death. The film will be more refined if it is more refined. A tribute to Orson Welles is a genius who was born at an untimely...

Very beautiful. Theoretically speaking, individual judgments of good and evil cannot actually be used as the ethical standards of the times. Verdue’s killing of "capitalist widows" is not just, nor can it be compared with the Nazi wars. This is only the ethics of the weak. Once enlarged There will be endless disasters. However, what cannot be denied is Chaplin's affection and acting skills, as well as the film's performance of the injustice of the...

Killing one person is a criminal, killing a million people is a hero. Who will accuse those capitalists and businessmen who directly and indirectly hurt countless people for their own benefit? In order to make money in life, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to...
