The 14th #法罗岛电影节# The 6th screening day of the unknowing section will bring you "The King of New York". Here is the evaluation of the frontline kings who are nowhere to be found!
Fruit trees:
Although full of self-reflexion and keeping up with the generation, but still showing weakness and disconnect from time to time.
Festival Nanshan:
Chaplin, who has watched the silent film era, is not used to this film. Without the exaggerated movements of the silent film era, Chaplin, who was inferior to Keaton, would seem even more at a loss.
Falling Clouds and Lonely Birds in Autumn and Water:
In communist films after the collapse of McCarthyism, Chaplin lacked the warmth of everyone's joy, and what was left was helplessness and pain. The betrayers were high in the temple, and the progress was far away.
We Min Hee:
Although it's quite complicated, there are many bright spots. There is a silent comedy performance in the middle section, but Chaplin's character can't laugh, quite self-satisfied. The latter part suddenly became a political thriller comedy under the white horror, and the effect was not bad.
Lara that la la la:
I am idealistic, and at first I thought the title of King of New York was too arrogant. Later, after I learned that it was Chaplin, I calmed down. Although I can't recognize... the film is full of irony, but maybe I don't understand the relevant background and culture, so I don't have a strong touch.
Msanctuary:
The strong anti-communism in the film is still a part of American life. In my opinion, the film is only an expression of satire and criticism of society, and there is no such thing as promoting Chaplin's political thoughts. The film is actually not that terrible. The idea of movie trailers and live broadcasts is very advanced. Although the jokes are not very dense, they are very novel.
Cuckoo:
The essence of silent comedy can still be felt in the shaky burden. The two women appearing in this film, one is a wife who does not have true love, and the other is a young girl who uses acquaintances and plays on the spot to enjoy a brief company, which adds a sense of loneliness to the film. The red horror, the background of the ads going deep into life again highlights the uncomfortable noisy.
No thoughts but thoughts:
The old Chaplin is still humorous and handsome, and his demeanor is undiminished. A good film satirizes the American madness at the time, the advertising economy, McCarthyism, and the changes that enlightenment made to children. Chaplin has always shown decent royal elegance, and the last little naughty who puts his fingers in the hose really makes people laugh. Lively and thoughtful, a rare and good movie.
No one at midnight:
On the screen is the loss and recovery experienced by the king who sits on a territory, while outside the screen is the loneliness and suspicion suffered by the king himself who once stood at the top of an industry pyramid. The interaction between the inside and outside of the screen, the infinitely amplified sound effect is noisy, and it is biased, interesting, and sometimes unconcealable. I didn’t feel too disgusted by Chaplin’s use of the child’s mouth to say the political manifesto with private goods. At least in the words of those people, there was a sentence that really shocked me, "Where is the individual?" He already Unable to speak up, even his audiences have long been invisible.
#FIFF14#DAY6's unknowing site score will be released for everyone later, please wait and see.
