Back in the past

When I was little, I loved listening to the radio.

I played truant and went home and took out the radio newspaper. All days when there were movie clips and movies on it, I put a red check mark on it, which is the day when I played truant. Turn on the cassette recorder, tune in to the radio station, load the tape to record a movie, write the name of each movie clip, and cut out the matching stills from "Popular Movies" to make a Beautiful little box, listening again and again. Among them, my favorite is a program called an album of excellent voice actors. I almost memorized all the movie lines in it, such as Sun Daolin's "Hamlet", Li Zi's "Yesenia", and Beek's "The Hunt". , However, the voice that impressed me the most and still can't forget today is Mr. Qiu Yuefeng's Rochester and Mr. Verdoux.
But I really didn't understand Mr. Verdoux's lines at that time. I just felt that the voice was very different. Sometimes it was just a few short sentences and very few lines, but you would never forget it.

If there is one person in the world immortal with his voice, it is Qiu Yuefeng.
He is good at interpreting complex characters with his unique voice. The greatness of his voice art lies in the in-depth study of each character, like an actor, to explore the inner world of the characters, not just lip-synching. Surface article. His voice is not beautiful, not the vigorousness of Qiao Zhen, the majesty of Bi Ke, the chic of Tong Zirong, and the humor of Shang Hua. His voice is unique. According to our fashionable words today, it is a kind of magnetism. The times are indeed very special. His personal life is a tragedy. Such a talented person used suicide to protest the age of injustice, and his memorial service seemed to have ended in a hurry. Only those loyal movie fans sincerely mourn this great artist who once spread the glory of art to the world, because in such a harsh and cruel adversity, he took the most beautiful things-art, illusions, his soul , Dedicated to people.

I think that if Chaplin’s Verdoux is the most complex and profound figure in his artistic career, reflecting his incisive thinking and experience of the world and humanity, then Qiu Yuefeng’s dubbing is the only beauty that can be compared with it. Notes. I believe that the reason for introducing this movie back then was probably due to the famous group photo and his own left-wing thoughts. In fact, in the 1930s and 1940s, leaning to the left was the choice of most intellectuals, and it was an idealistic desire. It is said that the movie was released in China because it exposed the evils of capitalism, but at that time, I didn’t really know much about capitalism. It was nothing more than unemployment. I poured milk into the sea and filled money in sacks. What was it? I don't even know the economic crisis, and it's hard to understand what it's like. However, now I have learned.
So, I didn't really understand this movie until today.

The following are some excerpts of my lines, which may be wrong, please forgive me.

My real name is Henry Verdoux. I have been a diligent bank clerk for 30 years. Until the recession in 1930, when I was unemployed, I began to physically eliminate women. This is all to feed the family and do it as a business.

It is good to leave this cannibalistic society.

This is an era of desperate death. Thousands of people are unemployed and hungry. For my age, it is not easy to eat a lot of food.

When I feel gloomy, I think of you, you and Pete (wife and child), my only sustenance.

In this world poisoned by speed and chaos, it's no wonder me.

Remember, violence breeds violence.

In this changing and evil world, adversity will not last long.

For example, when you go to bed, you don't even think of death. Suddenly everything ends. Don't you think it's better than living and suffering./The

scary thing is knowing that you are going to die.

I see that the fetus knows that he is going to give birth, and I feel scared.

What's good about being alive?

Poetry, art, love.

There is indeed love.

Because I loved it.

It means that someone is attracted to your body.

You don't like women?

I love women, but I look down on them, they are mediocre beings. A woman who changes her heart will despise the man, no matter how noble the other's character is, as long as this person is more beautiful than that person.

You have to learn to be ruthless in order to live in this ruthless world.

In the face of kindness, the world is still beautiful.

People always want to laugh and cry at weddings, and laugh at funerals.

I sold the stocks.
You are crazy, you are already bankrupt!

Doing business is to be very mindful.

Everyone needs love.

Have you conceded to all?

Everything was lost. After the crisis, his wife and children died, so that they could only be happier and leave this turbulent and fearful world.

I was originally a small employee, living in a monotonous rhythm, lighting other people's money from morning to night, and then changed, suddenly the rhythm was interrupted, and I was unemployed. Then there was a painful chaos, a nightmare, and the days of hell in the clouds and fog, I woke up, I couldn't believe that there had been such a world.

Life is unknowable, so I have to live.

I have the brains and used it very dutifully for 35 years. After that, no one needs it. I had to make a living by myself. As for murder, isn't it advocated? Isn't this world for the sole purpose of killing people? Create devastating weapons and blow up those gullible women and children to pieces? And what I did was such a science, in comparison, I was a little utterly inferior.

The French Open is inevitable, and it specializes in catching small ones.

Everything is to be rigorously organized if you want to succeed.

In the age of sin, no one can be a role model.

Killing is a business. The more people killed, the more a hero. The more people killed, the less guilty.

I am at peace with the Lord, I only have conflicts with people.

The soul is originally the Lord.



When I was young, I liked listening to the radio. It
was a happy time, not far away, but I didn’t know where they were.
But they are back again, like friends who have not heard from for a long time,
all the songs I have loved so much are still shining.
When they sang a sad section, it made me cry,
looking back on those past times, the joy I had,
made today even more sad and changed too much.
Those old love songs I once sang, I remember every word,
those melody are still so beautiful, can melt the years,
all the best memories, come
to my eyes clearly, some even make me burst into tears,
just like before,
Back in the past.

    Deleuze said, "Isn’t Chaplin just trying to tell us that we can find a potential Hitler and a potential murderer in everyone?" Killing one person makes you a criminal, killing a million makes you a hero, you have to Say that Verdoux's ethics is correct. Compared to Chaplin's other movies, this one is the most evil, but also the most profound. At the end of the movie, Verdue didn't make any compromises. He loved the most affectionate person in the world.

    Very wonderful story! The script is great, the performance is even better, the rhythm of the film is excellent, the editing is fluent, and the idea behind it is naturally brought out to improve the whole film a lot. The rolling of the train's wheels is both suggestive of galloping across the country and a small pause. Great sense of comedy. An important revelation of this film is that it turns out that comedy can also be profound. Qiu Yuefeng's voice acting is amazing! The translation of the Golden Age is exciting.
