      comedy master

      Most of Chaplin's works were completed before the age of 30, talent has nothing to do with age, and the world now does not lack the way you enrich yourself. This kind of vivid film color, compared to the current film, the simplicity seems pure , what he wants to say is blunt, everyone can understand, for his life, everything he does has his own reasons, his mother, his first love, and his neurotic questions, just like he said Don't ask, we all know what he wants to tell us is in his movies....

      dear chaplin

      The first time I saw Chaplin's movie was when I was a freshman. I watched his "The Gold Rush" and was attracted by the famous bread dance in it. Excited after watching it. Most of the movies of the original silent film era have been forgotten by us, and I finally understood why Chaplin was not abandoned by the era. His screen presence has always been remembered, and his work has endured for a long time. There are funny movements and interesting plot points in his films. The little characters...

      The greatest clown ever

      Written on August 10, 2012

      Maybe everyone is familiar with his silhouettes, props, and walking postures, but how many people have really stared at his face, this is the first time for me, through this film, to seriously look at his facial features, his His expression, his "unfamiliar" face, was somewhat incomprehensible and incomprehensible.

      He lost his father in childhood, his mother was forced into a lunatic asylum by life, and his brothers were separated....

      Charlie Chaplin...reminds me of my childhood.
      We didn't even have the silent films of the 1920s and 1930s. We
      watched all of them From the clips interspersed on TV, of course I felt old-fashioned when I was a child.

      About two years ago, my interest came, and I looked for it.
      I found several sets on youtube..

      [Film Review] Chaplin (1992) 6.9/10

      Sir.Richard Attenborough's cradle-to-grave, rags-to-riches biopic of Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) is anything but a hagiography, and should be more appositely re-titled as CHAPLIN AND HIS WOMEN, since the meat of this lofty work sees Charlie (Downey Jr.) gyrating from one wife to another (four in toto plus other conquests), meanwhile the more intriguing facet of his cinematic creative process is...

      The story is a bit of a go-to story, and from a biopic perspective, the movie is nothing more than piecing together several stages in Chaplin's life. But the film still looks quite interesting, and if you are obsessed with all kinds of gossip in the golden age, there is still a lot of information in this film. I like the director's use of the silent film comedy shooting technique into one of the paragraphs, which is also innovative. Robert Downey Jr.'s acting is amazing, and you can also see...

      The biography of the film is flat and nothing special. Robert Tang, you were not very high at that...

    • By Emie 2022-04-24 07:01:14

      The title of Chaplin and His Lover is indeed appropriate. Downey Jr. looks like a hard worker, but the old age clothes are indeed worse. The tribute to the silent film is quite creative, and the most moving thing is to finally return to the United States to look at the real body on the screen, a timeless classic at the...

      There is always tragedy behind a comedian/director. The United States is also very good at hacking a person who always loves to throw off the big hat of community... at the end of the day, you won't be judged by what you didn't do but by what you did. He just cheered people...

      Three-and-a-half stars, although it is unavoidable to have a running account, but there are still moving points. At the beginning of the composition, the door frame of the back is used to quietly examine Chaplin's life and intentionally portray him as a frustrated person who is constantly being hit. Behind the honor of the film master, Chaplin was subject to official pressure, public criticism, and moral scrutiny. At the end, he won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, and the comedies of the...

    Movie plot

    Chaplin has depended on her mother since she was a child. Although her mother performed singing and dancing on a small stage, she had very little income. Chaplin also entered the show business world and was welcomed. However, he was not satisfied with this, and went to the United States to develop, and since then forged an indissoluble bond with the film. His rich body language made him a high-profile figure throughout the silent film...

    Movie quotes

    • Joan Barry: He wanted somebody younger, classier. Didn't he?

    • Joseph Scott: what good has all this money done Chaplin? Wasting his substance in debauching girls. What good has it done the country? This is the kind of stuff that makes for communism.

    • Joseph Scott: Chaplin is old enough to be her father. Prowling around with girls that age. Members of the jury, use your God-given common sense, and just look at this man. This cheap, Cockney cad. This little tramp.
