.

The first Chaplin I watched, I was not interested in it when I was young. First, black and white was far less attractive than color. Second, silence was really difficult for children to understand, let alone the era of the Great Depression. . When I first saw it, I thought...? It didn't feel like a big deal, and it was later learned that it was the originator of a series of comedies. However, I was really anxious during the viewing process that he lost his job. It may be that...

The life of a humble worker

At the beginning, the sheep ran like people going up the stairs. The music was very rhythmic. After changing shifts, they still went to work. After a while, they slowed down. When using it, the absurd speed of the music was turned up again and again, which drove the workers crazy. Many lines were expressed in subtitles. At this time, the importance of the background music was highlighted. He covered the girl who stole bread, and was later arrested by the police. Take it away and give the...

Why is it more than the short comment word count?

In five years, Chaplin's film level has improved a lot than City Lights, absolutely. Summarizing Bazin's argument, that is, the "ontology" of Chaplin's film, Charlot's character, which is contrary to the utilitarian nature of ordinary people, has been consciously used in this film, which is consistent with the theme of the film. As a film in the transition period from silent films to sound films, the modern era also incorporated "sound" into this theme. At first, the words...

I like to see deep meaning, and still get laughed at

The irony of the factory is impressive, and the automatic feeders are imaginative, treating people like animals. The relationship between the two is really touching, especially the way they sit on the lawn and imagine that they live that kind of life, which is miserable but beautiful. The plot of the film made me realize the influence of classic works, and Stephen Chow seems to have learned a lot from it. The melody of Jay Chou's "Shoe Extra Large" is similar to that of the last cafe. When I...

The episode of the factory and social animals was missed in several classes when I was studying, but the plot behind it has not been seen until now. From the 20th century to the present, in this modern era, the vast majority of people are not only alienated by everything brought by the industrial age, but also have to carry the burden of poverty. ps is the first time I know that Master Zhuo's voice is like this...
