Today in the 21st century, watching this movie again makes people laugh and sigh. The embarrassment under poverty, the desolation under the excitement, the sweetness and sadness from crush to broken love, every detail is embarrassing. In the film, Chaplin plays a tramp. When you are destitute, you can welcome your love with an egg. When the beloved girl came around, she sent her to a more suitable person with a great and kind heart. At the end of the movie, the circus ran farther and farther in the dust. And the tramp sits silently in the same place, a lonely figure in a circle that seems to be delimited by fate. Life still has to go on, and he will face the future optimistically, perhaps only silently licking the wounds in his heart in the dead of night.
In the film, there are two shots, which are impressive. The daughter of the circus boss is beautiful and cute, but stupid, because she didn't complete the task set by her father, and was fined for no food. Fortunately, there is someone who loves him and can bring a lot of food to her. She hung it on the high ring, and Chaplin threw it to her underneath. The first time it was not thrown, but the second time it was thrown, the boss saw it and stopped drinking. So, the playful Chaplin took advantage of the boss's talking with other subordinates, and threw the ham and cans to the beloved, and the girl also stuffed things into her chest wisely. But when he secretly threw the pizza again, she missed her head and the girl didn't catch it, so the pizza that fell out confused the fat props teacher, and Chaplin pretended to be a pigeon. Looking at this guy today, I have lost the freshness that makes people laugh, but it warms people's hearts like the warm winter sun, because this time is the best time for him and her. In each of our lives, there are one or two such fragments, in the eyes of outsiders, it is so ordinary, but at that time, our hearts are so excited and happy.
In the second shot, the girl and the tightrope walker Rex successfully received the marriage certificate and came out of the institution. Chaplin leaped behind him, spreading the joyful sprinkling of gold on top of their heads, and sprinkled it six times. In this joyful picture, full of festive, tall and handsome Rex, beautiful and moving heroine, a great perfect appearance. Perhaps, at this moment, Chaplin's heart is really happy to find a better home for his beloved girl, and the girl sincerely gave him a big hug. Is it perfect? Maybe. Only when we watch the movie outside the lens, we will feel sad outside this perfect lens. A kind-hearted person can always give more to the one he loves. As long as the one he loves is happy, his pain can be suppressed in the bottom of his heart.
Throughout the movie, no lines were heard, only the melody of the music was tight or melodious with the plot. Isn't this black and white shot, this undulating melody, this joyful plot that is life? When passing by, let's experience it carefully, the colorfulness of life is in every passing. An iron pot of hot soup, an egg, is a delicious breakfast. A heartbeat, a sad parting, is a beautiful memory. Cherish every journey, cherish every loved or loved person in life, "Circus" is still on stage...
