      poles of clues

      Chaplin is the director of the film, not the actor. Even with only superficial analysis, one can see that there are two types or poles of clues in the film.

      In the first case, an action, or something like an action, a simple act. Reveal an unexplained situation. Thus, the situation depends on the action, both by direct inference and by more complex arguments. Since the situation itself is not explained, the clue here is the lack of clues, implying a...

      Edna and Carl Miller 'Reconnect'

      Audiences who have seen Chaplin's "Finding a Son and Meet the Immortal" know that the child adopted by the homeless man played by Chaplin in the film is the unmarried child of the heroine (played by Edna) and the painter (played by Carl Miller). give birth. In the original version discovered in recent years, Chaplin had actually photographed the scene where Erna and the painter reunited at a high society banquet after their respective fortunes. The sets, costumes, and poses are very close to...

      love-hate paris

      At the very beginning of the film, Chaplin made it clear that this time it was a real drama for everyone to watch, and even in order to express this more clearly to the audience, he decided not to appear in this film. Chaplin once said, "A great tragedy can be expressed in the form of comedy" (to the effect). In fact, I personally think that all of his movies are dramas, or more accurately, are "laughing with tears".
        The beginning of the film is very sad, a girl who lost her virginity...

      The girl who got on the train alone~

      It turns out that the mime plays an amplified emotion

      "A Woman in Paris"

      When the last door of love is closed

      , and she

      ca n't go back, she can only stumble forward

      and visit

      Paris, the city that never sleeps, alone and in the middle of the night.

       

      Youth has given us expectations,

      fairy tales have given us fantasies,

      but true love only exists in memories.

      Real love needs milk and bread....

      I was angry, so I wrote down the reasons for my anger

      I have seen some silent films before, such as "Modern Times", "Metropolis", "Nosferatu" and "The Life of an Actor". the plot and the situation.

      But this movie made me very angry.

      Why are you angry? There is no moral element. I am not angry that parents oppose their children's marriage, nor am I angry that Parisian courtesans make old lovers and poor painters commit suicide with hatred, and I am not angry that the Parisian diamond king, who is hypocritical and half-hearted, is...

      The 1923 film is basically the stereotyped pioneer of later love films. In this film, Chaplin made almost all the tragic love scenes of later generations become "tributes", and the ending is very...

    Evaluation action

    The film was a rare tragedy in Chaplin's directorial career, and Chaplin called himself "the most important film of his film career". In this film, he made an in-depth analysis of the environment and characters in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and tried to avoid the plain and straightforward narrative that was common at the time and paid attention to the ups and downs and climaxes of the development of the plot, thus proving...
