laughter and tears

In movies, my favorite stories are people. After all, the most complex thing in the world is human nature, and the most unpredictable thing is undoubtedly life, and it is only people who can inspire people. "Chaplin" is such a character-centric film.

It can be seen from the comments on the website that many people, including me, opened the film to Downey's young face, but it did not give the audience just Downey's "prosperous beauty." On the contrary, Tang In the film, Niu mostly appears in a comical appearance full of ink and a waning old age. The film's ability to conquer a large audience is due to the delicate choreography and Downey's excellent performance. One of the scenes that left the deepest impression on me was when Charlie got off the train to face the swarms of fans after learning of the death of his first love on the train. He, who had been hammering the carriage with grief and powerlessness a second ago, was held in the center of the crowd. The King of Comedy's face was filled with false joy and unconcealed sadness. Under the hat can only laugh.
