The Gold Rush (1925)
This movie broke my watch again The record, the release date was one year earlier than the 1926 "Metropolis". This film is still a silent film by Charles Chaplin, but what I watched is a new version, replacing the subtitles that tell the story with narration.
The story of the movie, as the name suggests, tells the story of the gold digger. A kind little man came to Alaska to search for gold. Alaska is hard, icy and snowy, and lacks food. The little man found a hut, and he ate the food in the house. The owner of this house was a wanted criminal, and he quarreled with the criminal. Afterwards, a big man came. This big man had discovered a gold mine, but was brought into the house by the wind. With the help of the big man, the big man and the small man subdued the criminals, and all three decided to stay in the house. The three of them drew lots to decide who to go for food, and the criminals were drawn. After leaving the house, the criminal did not look for food, but found a gold mine of the big man. Excited, he accidentally fell off the cliff. The two in the house were lucky enough to kill a bear, and they separated after a good meal. The little guy fell in love with a girl in a gold digger colony, and became a housekeeper by accident. The girl promised to come for dinner on Christmas Eve, but she missed the appointment. When the little man was disappointed, the big man asked him to find a gold mine because he couldn't find it. After some adventures, they finally found a gold mine and became millionaires. On the boat, the little man ran into the girl again, and they lived happily ever after.
The movie is not long and tells a very beautiful story. The main characters portrayed in the movie-big and small, they are all kind and simple people, they work hard and work hard for their goals. What the movie gives to these two roles is a happy ending-both become millionaires and return home with beauties. It's so good to have a double harvest in the love career. In addition, the bad guy in the film, the wanted criminal who wants to steal the fruits of other people's labor, fell off the cliff himself, as if he was destined. To sum it up, in one sentence: good people have good rewards, and evil people have evil rewards. The fairy tale-like story mode of the movie, although it feels very good to the audience, but the too perfect ending makes people feel too unreal and fake! I don't know what Charles Chaplin's intention is. Is it possible that Charles Chaplin's early works are so plainly decorated?
However, the movie itself is still very good. This film is still full of various funny funny scenes from Charles Chaplin movies. It is hilarious to avoid gunshots in the cabin, fight with the big man, dance in the ballroom, help people sweep the snow, and escape on the cliff at the end of the film. Scenes. Many of the scenes in the film are worth watching. I won’t say much about it. The one that impressed me most was the snow sweeping scene. I moved the snow from other people’s houses to another house to earn money from each house, but the prison’s I dare not make money. Although the little guy is not smart, he is not stupid! I really admire Charles Chaplin's comedic talent, and he can compose so many humorous scenes that fit the plot. It's great. Moreover, his interpretation in these scenes is also very perfect, every action and every scene is just right, and the performance is seamless. It is hard to imagine that these scenes are all pre-arranged scenes!
Let me also talk about the filming technology of this film. I don't understand this aspect, but this is a 1925 movie, but now I can't see any flaws in the setting, props, and special effects, which makes me very surprised. Hollywood was able to make special effects such as avalanches, cliffs, etc., at that time, it was really amazing. But I can still guess that those snow scenes are all fake. In those days, it was not easy to shoot snow-capped mountains in real scenes!
This is an American film released in 1925. Through the film, you can also come into contact with the real America of the 1920s. It can be seen that there is not much difference between life at that time and now. Clothing and living habits have basically not changed, and women at that time were popular in wearing animal fur coats, which are also very popular now. However, by careful observation, we can see that people were more polite at that time. Men bowed and women bowed. Although it seemed more cumbersome, it reflected the mutual respect between people.
The composition of the actors in this film is the same as Charles Chaplin's other films, with several actors and a beautiful actress. Except for Charles Chaplin, the Chinese information of the actors in the film is blank, which makes me unable to understand. It seems that this movie is really too old. The heroine Georgia Hale is very beautiful. According to English information, she has not acted in a few movies. She stopped making movies in the 1930s. It seems that the relationship with Charles Chaplin has froze, but this is my guess.
In short, a perfect adult fairy tale, a movie about the happy, happy, and happy ending of gold prospectors.
