I have seen two legendary movies about superstars in the silent film era.
Robert Downey Jr.'s "Chaplin", with a highly generalized plot, shows Chaplin's unknown private life on the screen.
"Three Stooges", directly borrowed from the IP of the classic drama combination, a low-quality work concocted with low quality.
Then there is this "Stan and Oliver". The silent films of these two stars are indeed seen relatively few, and it is the first time I know them.
There is no too much foreshadowing in the movie. The story starts directly from their middle and old ages and the downturn of their careers. What happened during this period can make the audience appreciate that, as a comedy group loved by the audience, they support each other on stage. , The side that pays for each other.
It is much better to understand each other from the recognition of cooperation to the breakdown, because the audience saw the friendly and cordial relationship between the two of them from the very beginning.
What impressed me most was a small detail at the end of the film. Stan's wife took the initiative to hold Oliver's hand and watched their last performance in the audience.
Because this is a well-designed design, there are many shots in the film showing Stan actively holding Oliver's hand. Although this handshake is only a detail, it plays a role in taking over, enriching the inner expression of the character, or putting the character The inner emotions are externalized into a simple action.
