I watched "Gold Rush" again, and the story in it seems to be still so classic. The master is worthy of being a master. A movie can have so many funny plots and plots. It's as if a gold prospector turned his head back to tell about his past adventures, just with a touch of joking and funny to reproduce the life of the gold prospector at that time.

Witty rope cutting action

Although the film reflects the tragic gold rush history of hunger and cold, the whole plot is uncontrollable.

Chaplin was too funny. He lost his belt while dancing. He touched a rope to fasten his pants in a hurry. After being dragged down by the dog, he realized that it was the rope that tied the dog. So he hurried again in embarrassment. Grabbing someone else’s hand and the utility knife in his hand, and easily cut off the dog leash on his waist, this series of movements were smooth and natural. Not only did Georgia beside him laugh, but the audience couldn’t help but be witty. Absolutely.

The ice picker came to grips

Getting up in the icy wooden cabin, Xiao Budian's first action is to climb up the stool, take off the ice skew on the roof and put it in the pot to boil water. He is dexterous and skilled, like a capable housewife. Reflecting the character's ability to adapt to harsh life and the usual habits of life, he feels that he is hardworking, smart and cute.

Was dragged away by a gust of wind

When Big Jim found Little Dot in the bar, Little Dot was busy telling her heart to the beloved girl, and was dragged away by the Big Jim like the wind. This section is very funny, and many cartoon animations have this kind of scenes later. I have to admire Chaplin's movies full of his fantastic ideas and humorous inspiration.

Bear saved his life

The most tragic plot is that two people are trapped in a wooden house by a blizzard. Big Jim is so hungry that his eyes are green. "Whether you are a chicken or not, you look delicious!" Seeing that you are about to eat a little bit, a terrible tragedy happened. At that time, a big bear appeared. The clever boy killed the bear and relieved the crisis.

The little one asked Big Jim to carry the bear, and when he prepared the tableware with his own movements, it was really mixed, laughing and crying. Little Budian almost died of hunger, or was eaten by the hungry Big Jim. At this time, Little Budian hurriedly prepared tableware. It was like a conductor conducting a triumphant song of victory, celebrating his escape from the dead, and Little Buddiness was relying on his own. Tact and bravery came to life, escaped the moment of hunger and the annihilation of humanity, and passed the most thrilling level. He did not blame Big Jim for almost eating him, but was ready for two people to eat. He knew that hunger would make The loss of human nature is also the tragic and solemn side behind this comedy. The master turns the weight into a comedy, smiling in tears. Only after the hardest moment can the past sufferings become a kind of joke. I think this is a climax of the film, a most exciting place. The great thing about the humble little is that it seems weak, but in fact has a brave and tough character.

In this thrilling plot, the protagonist of the film has passed the most severe test, hunger and the betrayal of his partner, no difficulty can defeat him.

Keep an elegant posture when eating leather shoes

Chaplin ate leather shoes with such relish, and the solemn gesture of eating a big meal like a decent one was really eye-opening.

The nails of the leather shoes were put aside gracefully like chicken bones. In desperate situations, he tried his best to maintain his manners. It was both ridiculous and sad. This is a kind of humor to maintain dignity even in an extremely embarrassing situation, just as his situation is clearly impoverished and he has to act. Like a hat, maintaining a gentleman's demeanor is very important to Xiaodian.

The lovely bread dance, the yearning for love, the happy ending is that the clever little bit becomes a millionaire, giving the audience a warm ending. Although suffering hard, he finally wins wealth and love.

    Chaplin is a genius of storytelling. With such an excellent control, let other people do it and not make it into a pot of porridge? When I watched it, I was always amazed at how he found a wonderful balance between various emotions. Too many classic bridge segments. And, silent films are so beautiful.

    I had a relationship with Chaplin's fifth son, and we had a few conversations. Judging from the height of his son, I expected that Chaplin was by no means short.
