[Comedy] Charlie Chaplin's "Looking for a Son and an Immortal" "Finding a Son and an Immortal" tells the story of an orphan who was abandoned five years later and was reclaimed. Charlie Chaplin plays a tragic story in a comic shell. Unemployment, poverty, frailty and other shadows loom over the protagonist, and the classic tramp image played by Chaplin is endowed with rich characters. He is poor and thin, but he is smart, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, but he is kind-hearted. The clues are obvious, the rhythm of the story is compact and smooth, and it can still retain its own style and characteristics under the confinement of the Hollywood studio system in the 1920s, which also proves that Chaplin really has amazing talent. Different from the comedy style of his teacher, Seinat, Chaplin's comedy style is more natural and interesting compared to Seinat's gimmicks for gimmicks. Sturt Keaton together holds up half the sky in Hollywood comedy. The classic tramp he created is one of the enduring comedy images, and the superb pantomime performance art made Chaplin the most dazzling comedy star in the silent film era. But in general, the artistic level of this film is not very high, and there are still shortcomings such as events jumping too fast, characters are monotonous, and the theme is monotonous and has no profound connotations.
