Monsieur Verdoux

Chaplin's sound film is still great

If you just look at the story itself roughly, it will feel similar to most crime themes, but the great thing about this film is that it naturally integrates the background of the times and human nature. Chaplin was no match for his role as a small person. Although most of the time Mr. Verdue lived a decent life, with a gentle manner and an irresistible attraction to the opposite sex, he was essentially a man for his wife and children. A little guy who has no choice but to commit crimes because...

Before starting this article, please allow me to say "Qianli Bazin (Andre Bazin, 1918-1958) )!" Li Bucai originally wanted to write an article on Chaplin's (Charles Chaplin, 1889-1977) comedy contributions, and waited after reading his later masterpieces "Monsieur Verdoux" (1947), "The Stage Career" "(Limelight, 1952), ready...

Monsieur Verdoux

Mr. Verdue (Charlie Chaplin) is a former bank clerk who lives a peaceful but happy life with his wife Mona (Mady Correll) and son Pete (Allison Roddan). With the advent of the Great Depression, Mr. Verdue lost his job. With a family to support, he lived on the streets and had nowhere to go. His desperation was palpable.
By chance, Mr. Verdue got a magical poison, which can kill people invisibly. With this "weapon", a wonderful plan was born in his mind. Soon, the rich but brainless women...

Film Review: Monsieur Verdu

7 points. Chaplin gave a rare performance of a villain. Mr. Verdu, the green bearded man, attacked everywhere, seemingly dangerous, but he always managed to retreat. In the end, I suddenly found out that I died generously. The content I found in my conscience always felt that it did not match the overall style. In addition, the preaching of several speeches was too strong. Combined with the shooting time of this film, it can be understood that Chaplin wanted to accuse social injustice, but as a...

Although many people are crazy about this film

Looking at it, I feel that this film is always a bit weird, comedy is not comedy, tragedy is not tragedy, compared to "The Gold Rush", it is depressing and uncomfortable.
I sympathize with impulsive killers, but disgust calm killers. Calm killers have a cold heart. Therefore, no matter how pitiful his wife and children are, how cruel the arms dealer is, and how reasonable his criticism is, it is difficult for me to regard him as an object of understanding and sympathy.
This era has...

An extremely good-looking movie, one of Chaplin's few sound movies, the plot is good-looking and the rhythm is relaxed. It deduces the criminal experience of a serious bigamy who married more than 10 women respectively, but the expression is very comedy and highly entertaining. It's a film not to be...

Chaplin's acting skills are actually very superb and three-dimensional, which is enough to support him to leap into the sound film era with ease, but I think he can't let go of himself in the silent film era. In the surging sound era, he seems to be a little confused. , maybe he's really...

Perfect movie, but I'm getting more and more disgusted with Chaplin's old love accusing society...
