The Gold Rush

"Gold Rush" is a masterpiece of "tears in laughter". Its artistic value is as excellent as its entertainment value. It is a masterpiece of Chaplin's movies and can be called an immortal comedy classic. In 1992, it was collected by the National Film Protection Agency in the Library of Congress. The film combines funny narrative, tragic color, and lyrical charm in an ingenious and balanced combination, making it a masterpiece of Chaplin's mature period. The biggest feature of Chaplin's movies is: a distinctive sense of reality and sharp irony, and the popular features of both elegance and popular appreciation. Sadur commented on his work as follows: "Chaplin's film is the only film that can be appreciated by the poor and the most naive. At the same time, it can be appreciated by the highest-level audience and knowledgeable intellectuals."

"Gold Rush" is Chaplin's most proud and favorite work. He worked hard in post-production. After 95 minutes of filming, he edited 27 times, creating his personal record. The experience of the film is also very strange: "Gold Rush" is divided into a sound version and a silent film; Chaplin personally dubbed and re-edited the 72-minute audio version to welcome the sound film era in 1942, and Chaplin tried to destroy it. The original 95-minute silent film in 1925. The original version of the silent film has been lost. Fortunately, a 35mm copy was circulated in the hands of private collectors. It was later discovered and restored and reappeared. In addition, the 81-minute edited version of the silent film (edited version: New York release, 1925) is the official version of the silent film, which is very rare today.

The Gold Rush short comments

    Oops, the cross-cut on Christmas Eve is really wonderful, on the one hand, the girl is drinking and having fun, and on the other hand, it is the loss of her empty house waiting alone. What makes people feel most soft is that there are so many marginal characters under Chaplin's lens, homeless, low-level workers, suffering from poverty and pain, but they all have such a loving heart. A bread dance at a humble wooden house and a small dining table is not at all sloppy or shabby than a ballroom dance in a palace.

    The perfect fusion of funny stories, tragic colors and lyrical meanings, the archetypal image of the homeless theme, multiple classic comedy scenes, exaggerated use of music and sound
