The reason why Chaplin is so dazzling so many times that Zhang Damin is because of the opportunity, as an excellent pantomime actor, he just caught up with the glorious period of the silent film era. The times have made him, and he has just conformed to the demands of that era.
On the other hand, because silent films have no language and are naturally borderless, with the cultural exchanges of various countries, things that transcend boundaries are always understood and accepted first.
On the other hand, Zhang Damin is a virtual character of Beijing-style citizen culture in the early stage of China's reform and opening up. Although he is smiling and tearful, Chaplin is alive. Although he can't open his mouth, he can simulate various characters with his body, including the popular "Haitle". The more types he creates, the more likely he is. Become a legend and immortality. Although Zhang Damin has a poor mouth (but only a poor mouth), he can only be Zhang Damin forever. The laughter and tears brought to the audience are always behind the same name, whether it is Feng Gong or Liang Guanhua. Play.
However, Chaplin and Zhang Damin represent the same class, and their lives are also the real life experience of that class, and this class is owned by every nation and every country. It is this derogation, insult and squeeze. Classes constitute the cornerstone of a huge middle and lower class of society.
I said a lot of nonsense, just wanting to prove that there is Chaplin in all regional cultures, but the only one we know and remember in the past 100 years is the Englishman Chaplin. So, no matter how bleak he died, but in this respect, he is very lucky.
Let me talk about this film again.
The title of "Xunzi Yuxian Ji" is well translated. Obviously the translator understood what the film wanted to say and what it was saying. Although most of the whole story is realistic, dreams only occupy a small part at the end (relative to the whole film), but at that time no one knew where Sid Field was his mother, so naturally there was no good person to define the movie." One, two, one" structure.
The story seems to be about a bitter man saving the orphan, but it is talking about this "cannibalistic society". This dream is placed after the complete despair of the glassmaker (played by Chaplin), and the creator's intention can also be briefly seen-since reality makes people so desperate, then find comfort in the dream!
And this comforting dream is another hell. The alleys turn into heaven, and everyone is happy, without sorrow and poverty. But heaven was eventually eroded by sin, seduce, innocence, jealousy, and violence, all of which killed the glazier who had just become an angel and had the so-called eternal joy. It can be said that this paragraph is a summary and re-exaggeration of the previous experience of the glassmaker, and it can also be said that Chaplin's heartfelt words about the poor living conditions of the United States at that time.
This world is not a good place, but we are already here.
We exist not because of our will, but because what exists is to exist.
