Excellent structure, not enough digging

1. Screenwriter. After reading three film reviews, two said the screenwriter had a problem, and I felt the opposite. The characters are complex (married N wives), and the works and protagonists are well known. It is necessary to explain clearly, but also to tell the things behind the familiar images. As a biographical film, the story cannot be played out. This film is already quite good . The film has a fictional biographer, holding a list of characters, asking and listening while ticking one by one, this is wonderful! It seems to be helping the audience ask questions one by one, which is much more natural than listening to the protagonist's monologue. 2. Starring. Robert Downey Jr. imitated the body movements so well, and it was natural with the interspersed original film, which was not easy! But Chaplin's entire growth process, the performance level, does not show much. 3. Chaplin. After watching the movie, I have a deeper understanding of his work. This is an unparalleled genius. Even today, those movie clips at the end of him are creative, unique, rhythmic and full of beauty, but he said, I always think it should be better, but it's just a little bit worse! Anyway, "he" brings a little joy to people, which is not bad.

This is the self-artistic evaluation of genius.
