(I feel that the number of words is too many and occupies the film review column, sorry for the harassment)
It took three days for the network card to finally read it. The core of comedy is tragedy. Chaplin showed the sadness in the real society in front of us with the comics of small people, and it is touching that the essence of kindness makes the depicted dream not shattered in the end. It is not a realistic story, but the characters, plots, and background settings reflect the vast difference between rich and poor. I am also willing to continue to believe and hold on to some beautiful eternity. City Lights are the feasting lights of parties and theaters, and the warm candlelight and fire in the attic at night. Ordinary people who are spiritually prosperous and live conscientiously are far more able to be called the shining light of a city than wealthy people who spend a lot of money but are barren and empty. In Chaplin's silent film, what I have seen is the modern era. At that time, I was still young, but I had a label impression of Chaplin's comedy. Looking at City Lights now, I have a better understanding of its art form. There is not a lot of voice intonation and line design. Under the influence of music, people will pay more attention to the body language of the actors themselves, and there will be subtitles at the key points of the plot to promote them, but they are all quite simple words and sentences. Being able to express in one's own words, language barriers are avoided. Nowadays, we can see film and television works from different regions, and language is the biggest obstacle for us to understand the works, because language, especially the etymology, has never been out of touch with the times and society. Without translation and interpretation by people from both cultures, we cannot understand a certain Why can this word make the local people laugh; and the translated work itself is a re-creation of the translator, not the original expression of the work. The loneliness of the Tower of Babel is vividly reflected in the sound film, and this must be one of the reasons why Chaplin opposed the sound film. First of all, in terms of sound effects, silent films will not have the noise of human voices. It is suitable for relaxing when the brain is mentally exhausted. Is it a good adjustment method?
