      Chaplin's sound film

      I felt that the old king was a bit familiar. It turned out to be Chaplin. I was accustomed to watching his sound films and I didn't expect him to make sound films too. The performance is still very Chaplin style, especially his laughter is still very interesting. The film satirizes McCarthyism, and the phrase "Is there a Royal Communist Party?" is a classic. Then the boy whose father was a Communist Party member poisoned by communism and anarchism also performed very well. And also satirize the...

      The title should still be called "A King in New York"

      The title should be called "A King in New York". Translated as "New York King" will give people other illusions!

      In addition to Chaplin himself, I really like the heroine in the film, the TV advertising expert Ann Kay played by the British woman Dawn Addams; and Michael Chaplin, the son of Chaplin. Rupert Macabee of Rupert Macabee.
      Doyle Adams played the lovely role of a beautiful, decent, aggressive, and active American media cadre, representing Chaplin's sincere nostalgia for...

      Charles Chaplin just went against the trend

      This is a movie in Charles Chaplin's later years. Although it is already in Chaplin's old age, he still plays treasures on the stage of the movie as he did when he was young, such as naughty putting his fingers into the fire faucet, such as jumping into the bathtub like a bird..., he also fucked himself A "feat" that I never did when I was young! Play Hamlet in the movie! (Seriously, I have never seen such an impassioned, deductive man [laughs]).
              But in 1957, when the film was...

      New York King

      No longer deduces the pathetic wanderer, no longer have those two iconic little beards, no longer mute and only use quick actions to fight against authority, and even, no more ridiculous living conditions, but wear them The emperor's clothing.

      But he is still the uncle Zhuo we are familiar with. Even though, he no longer has his iconic attire in silent films, even though, he speaks, even as the emperor's noble status. He is still the one who is not an authority, resists absurdity and...

      Satire that the interests of American advertising come first, the risk of sequelae of cosmetic surgery is too great, and the Communist Party is so stubborn. The king may not be a good man, but he still has good...

      Bai Juyi said, "The articles are written for the occasion, and the poems are written for the events." Chaplin's film was made for current events. In the film, the dialogue between Chaplin and the child (from the cast list, the child is called "Mike Chaplin") is the essence. Years later, there is no interest in bringing up America's absurd history, but Chaplin's films are still watched. 01:40:08, Chinese, English and French audio tracks, Chinese simplified and traditional, English, French,...
