The movie tells the life of Chaplin. As an actor, Robert Downey Jr. interprets the biography of another actor. Whether it is imitation or innovation, it can really be integrated, and he deserves the title of actor.
The most memorable scenes, from when I was young, the first scene-the restaurant.
When the reserved seat was ignored by the restaurant owner snobbery, the young and bumpy Chaplin already knew how to forbearance. He was silent, his anger almost overflowed from his unwilling eyes, but finally turned into perseverance and turned to leave. The girl he chased for the first time was also the girl he loved the most in his life. She quietly leaned on the roadside restaurant and listened to this unknown little man talking about her ideals in life. She is realistic, so she is even more kind and at the lowest level. The moment of fall gave the boy an extremely sincere affirmation. For a moment, I seemed to see the light of the candle that was about to go out again.
Act Two-Studio.
His wife’s waiting, brother’s admonition, friend’s helplessness, everything around him turned into nothingness during working hours, his concentration seemed to be enchanted, and his mind was full of inspiration, only to be realized bit by bit by his own hands. Being interrupted at a loss, returning to work naturally, there must be another world in his heart, which belongs to him.
The third act-the roadside.
He has already become famous, he is already full of pots, he is a rich man, he should have been accustomed to watching the world's poverty with cold eyes, like others, turning a blind eye. However, when encountering poor movie fans, as an actor, he did not tire of signing and saying: "I hope they want my money." This comedy-known actor is full of compassion. In the past, for his own life. ; Now, for the lives of others.
The fourth act-courtyard.
There are two touches about the courtyard. The first was when he and his last wife met for the first time.
Many people will leave the meeting midway on the excuse of a date, and he is no exception, but a few people will frankly tell each other after being unwilling to leave: I'm sorry, I lied to you. As a woman, I admit that I fell in love with this reality instantly.
For the second disclosure of the illegitimate child scandal, he could personally stand up and bear the turmoil that could be buried with money, because he wanted to tell his wife his innocence. The lawsuit was lost, and in court he beckoned and amused the girl who had no blood and ignorance; the paternity test was announced, and he was holding his wife who was many years younger than him infinitely. This is a caring man, but every time he pays his heart and teaches people how not to love.
The fifth act-the podium.
Sitting in a wheelchair, dying old, the greatest actor is defeated by his own worst enemy, and time takes away all the past. He supported the standing platform, in front of others, still too strong to be taken care of. The big screen played a silent film decades ago. For the first time, he was so frightened that he was afraid that the long-lasting images would not be glorious, that others would not understand, and that he would be forgotten. Fortunately, the laughter in the audience gradually became louder, and there were tears in his eyes, which was more comfort and nostalgia, and no more loneliness.
Act Six-Balcony.
Covering a thick blanket to tell his life, praise or questioning is not important, he is as humble and plain as before, and said faintly: "I didn't change anything, just made people laugh." Translated into Chinese, it lacks the charm of the original text, I 'm not changing, a pun, he didn't change the world, nor did he change himself. The young man with firm eyes had gone through the vicissitudes of life and the ups and downs of his life. Finally, he never lost himself.
The movie is like this, how many whitewashed characters, so maybe I like Chaplin in the movie more than reality. I am deliberately funny on stage, leaving me alone. He works hard to change something. Although he can't do it, he changes. It's a wonderful life, it's worth it. Compared with sound films, silent films tell us more; compared to politicians in costumes, clowns in top hats are more like gentlemen.
Under the funny appearance, I saw a sincere and unchanging heart.
