people love comedy

This work directed by silent film master CHAPLIN is indeed worth seeing. America's film industry has always had a monopoly. When the sound and color are not displayed in the film at the same time, the production of black and white images with post-production sound and music seems to be technically immature, but I find it novel and insightful in today's prosperous film industry.

I don't know much about silent films, but I remember watching some with my dad before. Exaggerated performances, grotesque movements, hehe, I remember those. Chaplin, I have the impression, top hat, tuxedo, crutches, pointy clown shoes, mustache like the Japanese. . . He is a master of comedy.

Teacher Song is right. People love comedy. In the deep collective psychology, people are toiled and confused, need entertainment, need film art, and need comedy to solve it. This is not difficult to understand. But from this perspective, Korean dramas are breakthroughs, maybe it evokes people's collective unconscious, and it is also a kind of relief, I think.

Comedy, expressed in humorous form, reflects suffering. This is a high level. So is the essence of comedy lies in the great tragedy? Probably! (Except for vulgar and funny Hong Kong movies, most Hong Kong people don't understand movies, I always think so) CHAPLIN's performance is superb, and his main theme is not difficult to understand. It's just that I think the film is immature, it's a little long and loose, it's great at the beginning, and then it's a little boring. It really shouldn't be refuted here by the idiots. sorry
