As a master of comedy in the last century, Mr. Chaplin has made outstanding contributions to the film industry, and it is he who interprets the true inner meaning of comedy with the most artistic means - the saddest smile "Modern Times". The film mainly tells the story of Charlo, a worker in a factory assembly line who was overwhelmed by overwork and suffered a mental breakdown. He even used people's noses as screws to screw this funny behavior, and was finally sent to a mental hospital for treatment. , After the treatment, his spirit was back to normal, but he was considered a riot leader for picking up a flag on the street and was sent to the police station. This series of encounters can be described as an interpretation of the word "unlucky". It has to be vivid, make people laugh, and feel sympathy for what happened to Charlo. Charlo, who was weak in the prison, was bullied by his fellow inmates, but he accidentally ingested white powder, which made him extremely excited to stop a prison escape, thus becoming a "superior" prisoner, living in a single prison. In the world, eating good food, compared to the Great Depression society and the so-called freedom of the same period, life in prison seems to be a "paradise", so that when he learned that he was released early, Charlot It is both absurd and frightening to ask that he can be held back for a few more days. What era was that? The rich capitalists live in the daytime, while the poor laborers live in the dark all day long, without a shred of hope. Chaplin used the artistic method of film to present the black and white of that era in front of us, and to reminisce about this film in time across an era, you still feel that there are traces to follow. Of course, it was precisely because of the early release that he had the opportunity to meet his lover, Gao Dai. She, who made a living by stealing, met Charlo, who tried her best to return to prison. Charloh tried his best to find a job to support the family, but he was "clumsy" and would always lose his job, so whenever there was a slight improvement in life, he would always return to the original point. When I was beaten back to the original point again and again, although the way was so "coincidence" and absurd, people couldn't help laughing, but when I laughed and scolded the "idiot", there was always a bit of grief in my heart, yes Ah, why are they always beaten by life and still refuse to give up, why do they work so hard in an era when their efforts can never get hope, because are they really stupid? I think maybe it's stupid, it's stupid to yearn for and pursue a better life, it's stupid to hope for a happy love, and it's just such "stupid" energy, in the last chapter of the movie "Dawn", the two of them Can once again summon the courage to walk on the road leading to Chaoyang. A really good movie can always make you cry when you laugh, and give you hope again when you see the cruelty of reality. "Modern Times" is such a movie. As Chaplin's last silent film, Let us see the sadness and banter behind Charlie's tense performance in the silent picture, and show the reality and cruelty of that era in black and white. Those jokes and silences hidden in black and white, silently took that era to history, and since then left such a strong stroke in the film industry, when people reopen, they still smell the black and white. Ink fragrance.
