On the appearance of Chaplin in "The Countess of Hong Kong"

Recently, I have read a lot of Bazin’s review articles on Chaplin’s movies. After reading it, I am deeply aware that when I watch Chaplin’s movies, and even most of the movies, I’m only doing so-called watching. Even if I think a little after reading, the degree and scope of thinking are not deep enough and not broad enough. I am simply receiving the information in the movie, like the action of Charlo. I simply respond with a smile, but I don’t think about the meaning of the action, or the...

Forgotten classics

If everyone says yes, I have to find out the reason for saying no.
If everyone says yes, I have to find out what is bad.
The reason why I am for me is to discover the good or bad that no one else has discovered, and I will never be the mainstream.

Although the main creators of this film almost all denied its value, believing that it was a failed film. Of course, it's really not as good as "The Great Dictator" and "City Light". However, I still think that both its story...

I can squeeze into the upper class with five cents

I have forgotten the movie. After an hour, what do I remember? I have to think about it. The sailor said that I can squeeze into the upper class with five cents. He asked a prostitute, are you really an earl? Countess Mattasha also has a dream, America. At first it was seduction, and then it was love. Love came too soon. What does love come from? Nervous and excited? Brando said that such tense and exciting days are really unforgettable. The more you write, the more dull it is, and writing with...

Ma Long's autobiography mentions the shooting of "The Countess of Hong Kong"

Chaplin wrote the script based on his experience of traveling to Shanghai in 1931, and he asked me to star in the movie in 1966. Although I respect Chaplin very much, I told him that I don't feel fit to play this role. I have always been very cautious about comedy roles, but he tried his best to dispel my doubts and think I can do it. Since I saw him as a genius, I promised to be in his hands--"the puppet". I think he knows more than I do. Since he thinks I can add color to the...

[Film Review] A Countess from Hong Kong (1967) 6.2/10

The consensus is that Chaplin's swan song A COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG is his metteur en scène, a dud pales into frivolity alongside his prior prestigious works, despite of the pairing of the most popular and acclaimed movie stars of that time, Brando and Loren.

Brando plays respectful American diplomat Ogden Mears (what a name!), who is appointed as the new...

The embarrassment of fans is a cold comedy of love, and the effect is very bad. Roland is slightly better than...

1. The street scene in Hong Kong at the time of the opening scene, I don’t know if it was shot in Hong Kong. 2. Chaplin told a cheesy love story. The rich family rescued the down-and-out countess and the lover ended up getting married. The translated name is not very accurate, the countess is not from Hong Kong, but a poor Russian...

In the 1960s, the garden was popular. Why can a bland and unremarkable woman arouse the admiration of the...

Chaplin's first film in color, Chaplin's last. Even Malan Bailongdu and Sophia Roland can't save the dismal reputation. It's far worse than Chaplin's previous works. PS: How beautiful is Sophia Loren? Anyway, as soon as she appeared, all eyes were grabbed, and everyone became the background...
