Charles Chaplin just went against the trend, Reivew on A King in New York

This is a movie in Charles Chaplin's later years. Although it is already in Chaplin's old age, he still plays treasures on the stage of the movie as he did when he was young, such as naughty putting his fingers into the fire faucet, such as jumping into the bathtub like a bird..., he also fucked himself A "feat" that I never did when I was young! Play Hamlet in the movie! (Seriously, I have never seen such an impassioned, deductive man [laughs]).
But in 1957, when the film was released, Chaplin was indeed a bit "untimely". In this film, he mocked almost all the movie genres that were popular in the United States at that time (Western, Film Noir, Romance Film). He also I can’t get used to the so-called "commercial culture" that has already reached its peak in the United States at this moment. (In the film, the plot where King Shahdov became an advertising star in the United States was set by Chaplin to express this idea).
Charles Chaplin is not just a comedian, or even just a so-called "performance artist". He is a great man, a great man who bravely insists on his beliefs and fights against all power!
In the film, he pretended to be a little boy and said, "I'm just an anarchist! But they say I am a communist! Okay! Then I am a communist!". He even sprinkled a stream of anger on the members of the "Non-Americanism Investigation Committee". You know, that was the age of McCarthyism!
Finally, I want to conclude this film review with what Charles Chaplin himself once said: "I will always be just a clown, but this also allows my soul to be above all those politicians."
