      Everyone knows a Harold-I just rushed to an assignment at night. . .

      Everyone knows a Harold.
              It is a world of small potatoes, who picture every scene in the film-country boy and girl, truck driver, "passengers" hanging on outside of the tram, housewives fighting for the spreads on sale, the drunkard at the corner… At the same time, Harold is the smallest and the typical of those all small potatoes. Like many small potatoes we know in our lives for real, Harold is unimportant, nobody, having a low paid job, often worrying if he would get fired and...

      Comedy is just a shell

      This scene is really funny

      The male protagonist went out to work and kept writing letters to make his lover mistakenly believe that he was in a high-paying and decent position. It didn't take long for him to send her a gem pendant. In fact, he was just a temporary worker and he couldn't even pay the...

      In the Name of Love, Safety Last (In the Name of Love, Safety Last)

      Under the great wheel of the times, there are always some things that will gradually fade from our field of vision, such as the elegance of the "Blue Light Ancient Scroll", the invigoration of "Cut Candle West Window", and the melancholy of "Who in the cloud will send a brocade book" .
      The progress of the trend of the times will always leave the purest accumulation in the agitation. This kind of time-honored accumulation, such as love, will be talked about even after ten, a hundred, or a...

      Pulling the camera is a way to immediately put the characters in a specific environment. The relatives who weeped goodbye turned their eyes to the bars and noticed a little strangeness. However, the most deceptive thing was the fake gallows. The suspense is to let the character not know what happened, and the audience knows that the carriage and train that cross the route create this effect. This is the scene scheduling. Comedy is a...

      Interview in 1962, introduced to friends who like this movie

      Harold Lloyd's interview with

      Mr. Lloyd. Whenever you want to start a movie, how do you go about it? What kind of screenwriter do you have on hand? Where do your ideas generally come from? How do you transform your creativity into production?

      As for the screenwriters, we actually didn't call them screenwriters at that time, they were called idea man or gag man. There was no dialogue at that time. It's completely business, comedy business, this is the first. I have a group of...

      Brain-opening, full of wit, not only makes people laugh, but also nervous and exciting, amazing. After reading it, I not only think about it, isn't Lloyd's plight also the survival plight of many North drifters and Shanghai drifters? Many moments in our lives don’t belong to our own safety...

The perspective is very close to the character, and it is indeed a classic in film history! ! Iris clip has always been very...
