Chaplin's true curtain call is also the least comedic movie. The hero is late, and the glitz is gone, but the clown still has to force a smile in front of people, and even face the empty auditorium alone. The overlap inside and outside the play is even more embarrassing. Chaplin (and Keaton, his only feature film co-star), was after all an "outdated" artist unsuitable for a talkie, and the moment he left America marked the helpless end of an era. But the most touching thing is the love between...

He thought he could still win warm applause, but the audience was all gone. He thought he was still a golden sign, but the truth was that he was old. On the surface, it is removing makeup, but in fact, it is secretly wiping away tears. He has brought happiness to others in his life, but no one can bring him happiness. Terry told the audience to smirk, but they smiled genuinely. Even if his spine is broken, he can't tell the truth to the audience, because he is a comedian, and his mission is to...

The heights are so cold. Chaplin's last autobiographical film. In fact, throughout the film history of the master, you will find a wonderful and very tenacious thing injected into his performance, that is, he has never been static and never changed... A sense of life surging in blood, he has been passing on With such a vivid emotion. He has never remained the same, he has cried out for the state of the times, he has cried out for human freedom, he has cried out for poverty and hunger, he has...

Reminds me of Chaplin's Bole Mac Senert and his Slapstick Comedy. "The film industry soon invented the same period of sound and picture. Silent movies are forever a thing of the past. Now they are under the impact of TV. The era when Hollywood was a DreamWorks is gradually...

For me the movie starts at 1 hour 53 minutes. The final curtain call for a down-and-out Keaton and a Chaplin who couldn't make it in a sound movie. The heroine is our audience, saying "I love you" to Chaplin over and over again with the most impossible love. Keaton is even more tragic, appearing silently, exiting silently, and can't even have the right to die on...

The intuitive feeling is of course not as good as Chaplin's talent and achievements in silent films. He tried his best to display his versatility, but in the end, he had to miss the laughter and applause of the sound film era. Chaplin was a little unfamiliar with the modern age spots, but only when he returned to the stage, relying on his rich expressions and flexible limbs, he became the familiar...

As for his own artistic career, he made a final call with his death. Chaplin and Keaton made a silent film encore together, which is a tribute to that great silent film era. And after that, there is a sad story about Chaplin's 20 years late to win the Oscar for his beautiful soundtrack in this film, which is even more embarrassing. I'd like to continue, but I'm...
