Excellent structure, not enough digging

1. Screenwriter. After reading three film reviews, two said the screenwriter had a problem, and I felt the opposite. The characters are complex (married N wives), and the works and protagonists are well known. It is necessary to explain clearly, but also to tell the things behind the familiar images. As a biographical film, the story cannot be played out. This film is already quite good . The film has a fictional biographer, holding a list of characters, asking and listening while ticking one by one, this is wonderful! It seems to be helping the audience ask questions one by one, which is much more natural than listening to the protagonist's monologue. 2. Starring. Robert Downey Jr. imitated the body movements so well, and it was natural with the interspersed original film, which was not easy! But Chaplin's entire growth process, the performance level, does not show much. 3. Chaplin. After watching the movie, I have a deeper understanding of his work. This is an unparalleled genius. Even today, those movie clips at the end of him are creative, unique, rhythmic and full of beauty, but he said, I always think it should be better, but it's just a little bit worse! Anyway, "he" brings a little joy to people, which is not bad.

This is the self-artistic evaluation of genius.

    Wipe off the makeup on the face, revealing the life behind the screen. The time span is as long as 80 years, and the chronological approach is advancing. Although a fictional biographer and Chaplin are used to dialogue with Chaplin, the transition is aided by the voiceover, but the overall account is still sloppy. Nearly ten years have passed since each scene switched, and the important things at each stage were selected, with more emphasis on the love history of Chaplin and his multiple wives, and the experience of creating movies slightly lighter. A lot of things are mentioned in a flash. It is necessary to fully understand the relationship between the characters and the social background, but this movie alone may not be enough. -When we appreciate Chaplin’s works, we tend to ignore his background in emigrating to the United States from the United Kingdom. His failure to join the army in the First World War made him lose his country’s conditions. After being expelled from his homeland, he eventually had to live in Switzerland for more than a year. From an artistic perspective, each has fan views, but from the perspective of social influence, he is the greatest comedian of the 20th century. (PS. The director of this film is the director of Gandhi Biography in 1982)

    Even if Little Carrot plays the role of selflessness, I still can't think of him as Chaplin. What a tragedy. As a celebrity biography, this film is far from what I imagined.
