    The reason why Chaplin can be called the great realist artist in Hollywood is because his works always relate to an ultimate question of "belief": a bright ending is the sustenance of hope, what is willing to believe rather than what is actually available; love and Redemption will always eventually become a negative factor, implying the opposite of itself, in other words, the more complete it is, the more fragile and untrustworthy it appears. The division brought about by this extreme; it is...

    I have to say these fixes work great! Chaplin's directorial debut feature, combining the ingenuity of his short films, the plot is smooth and extremely exciting, with twists and turns in just one hour. The ending dream is too abrupt but not lacking in imagination, magic clips of demons appearing, and angel wings flying in the air. Among them, Chaplin's consistent "spin and squat" can be seen: the "counterattack" under the strong pressure of the big man, the multi-person fight in the room, etc....

    The dream at the end makes the film's criticism look naive, so let's call it Orphan Wanderer. The name "Find a Son and Meet Immortal" is really grandstanding and...

    Chaplin's first feature film. A picture with a smile -and perhaps, a tear. Seeking the right balance between comedy and drama, it also marks the combination of drama and comedy - the birth of drama (Dramedy), where the story is told in comedy to make the audience Having an emotional connection with the character also allows you to explore some deep themes rather than just making jokes. The relationship between the outcast and the homeless is inspired by Chaplin's experience of the death of his...

    #siff2021# 4k repainting, thinking about three boxings: the first one lays the foundation of the comedy genre, the second one directly completes the "tears in laughter" in the opening subtitle card, and the comparison of Chaplin's performance in these two boxings It is very tense, and the third scene explains the reason why human beings have disputes through the way of dreams. Going back to the sentence at the beginning, "The original sin of this woman is motherhood", and at the end it is...

    The picture quality of the repaired version is super! Chaplin really knows how to shoot tragedies. At the beginning, the baby was changed hands many times and the mother was entangled in the running and cross editing. The emotions of the audience were arbitrarily guided from this moment, with joy and sorrow. The stupid and ferocious police, the unknown orphan institution, and the mother who turned into a star, all show the absurdity and the author's own sense of social criticism. Intuitively,...
