Life is like a play

After watching the movie, I feel that Chaplin's life is very legendary. Regardless of his age, his wife is younger than him, and he became famous just as a teenager. He made more than 60 movies before the age of 30. This is already a legend.

Before Baidu said he had four wives, I felt very shocked and disgusted. After watching the movie, I forgot a little. Probably because of autobiography, there will always be some touches. It seems that Chaplin's divorce was all about him. The reason for his wife is either cheating or madness, and the last and longest wife married him when he was 18 years old, when Chaplin was 54 years old. It seems that age is really not a distance abroad, especially in the literary and art circles.

A few clips are impressive.

The first is that Chaplin went to the United States to meet the director. The director said that Chaplin in my impression was an old man, but you were not. Chaplin just called out the director's name and started to perform, vividly! Using a wrinkle-free face to deduce the funnyness of an old man, I sighed at that time, genius. Then I wondered if I could do this on the spot during interviews in the future.

The second is that Chaplin returned to the UK after he became famous. At that time, because of World War I, the British were spurned by the British, thinking that he would only rely on movies to make a fortune, but did not join the army. Since then, Chaplin said he has no hometown, so he decided to take root in the United States.

The third is to be deported from the United States. They still hold a grudge against Chaplin and accuse him of being a communist because of offending the USCIS. Chaplin was expelled from the U.S. government when he temporarily went on vacation to England during the scandal over child support issues caused by the pregnancy of his third wife. being abandoned.

At the end of the film, the United States reinstates Chaplin's visa and invites him to the Oscars.

The Queen of England also awarded Chaplin a knighthood. It feels so ironic.

The film also mentioned the background of "Modern Times". After the economic crisis, machines replaced manpower, and a large number of poor people were unemployed. For this reason, Chaplin made this film.

To add, Robert Downey Jr. is really handsome! When the hair is a little white, it is really handsome to the peak! ! !
