Most comedies are deeply concerned with the fate of little people, and no matter how you look at it, Chaplin is a little person, even if he is a master of comedy. The film "Gold Rush" is a story about a small man rushing for gold, and its dubbed version even directly calls the protagonist Xiaodian.
Little Dot walked up the mountain with his iconic penguin step, waving his cane, and in this classic tramp costume with funny characters, Chaplin wouldn't let himself find gold, so he let another Big Jim, like a black bear, found gold. Coincidentally, when the gold was discovered, it was the time of the blizzard, so Chaplin took some detours so that he could share the gold with Big Jim, justifiably.
The blizzard made Little Dot and Big Jim meet at the robber Larsen's cabin. They were both outsiders, so Little Dot naturally stood by Big Jim. Big Jim was also very worthy of his size, and soon became the new owner of the log cabin. It's a pity It was of no use, because the room was out of ammunition. Little Budian first ate the only half of the candle left in the lantern, and then had to cook one of his own shoes. It is worth mentioning that although Xiao Budian is in a difficult situation, he is still very particular about his life style. For example, when eating candles, he should sprinkle a few salts first. When eating shoes, the plate should be polished with the sleeves, and the knives and forks are ready. He ate the bottom half of a shoe full of studs, and he seemed to enjoy it, as if he ate not the shoes, but the ribs, even the studs sucked cleanly, and the shoelaces were like spaghetti. Roll up, the whole process is easy and freehand, but there is a little trouble when swallowing.
It can be seen that the optimism of the little ones is one of the characteristics of successful people. No matter how hard it is, they will never give up, take it calmly, and always keep hope in their hearts.
In the end, a real black bear broke into the cabin, and Xiao Budian showed his brave and calm side and killed the black bear with one shot, thus solving the survival problem of the two. Big Jim should be grateful to Little Bit. The two experienced hunger, and Big Jim almost ate Little Bit as a turkey. There is no doubt that Little Bit allowed Big Jim to survive, and from the follow-up point of view, also Little Dot let Big Jim get the gold back.
Of course, success cannot be achieved alone. You have to have a partner. The little partner is Big Jim. The two share weal and woe. They have experienced two blizzards, and both times were the test of life and death. At the edge of the cliff, half of it was hanging in the air, and at a critical moment, the panicked two finally calmed down, and the little guy supported him and pushed Big Jim out first, and then Big Jim put the rope and pulled the little guy out, a second before the cabin fell.
In order to give back to the good quality of Little Bit and Big Jim for helping each other in times of danger, the gold that Big Jim was looking for after being knocked by Larson for amnesia appeared on the edge of the cliff, so Little Bit became a millionaire, and Big Jim became a millionaire. Together.
The ending is beautiful, but not perfect, because there is often another element to success - love.
For a sloppy person like Xiao Budian, it is common sense that no big beauties will look at him, but it is reasonable for him to fall in love with big beauties and influence her with a sincere heart.
In the ballroom of the market, Little Kid was fortunate to be the dance partner that Georgia chose at will for punishing Jack. In the eyes of others, Little Kid was unlucky because he was a substitute. Georgia was cheating on his feelings, but at Little Kid. It seemed that he was lucky enough to be happy even if he could accompany Georgia to talk. This may be the poor man's meager wish, contentment and happiness, and a little sunshine will make it easy to shine.
Therefore, the "littleness" of the little people is actually not scary. I am afraid that I will be ashamed of being "small" and lose the joy of life. Xiaobudian obviously belongs to the "poor and happy" type, which is actually gratifying. The things that ordinary people regard as happiness are insignificant, but they are very precious.
Xiao Budian is not a person without self-knowledge. He understands his own lowliness, but most of the success of love comes from stalking. In other words, it is thick-skinned.
Little Budian always wears that dirty clothes, only one shoe is left on his feet, and his right foot has to be wrapped in rags. The belt of his pants fell off before dancing a few steps, and his pants kept falling off, so he had no choice but to hook it with a cane. Live, or pick up a rope on the table for emergency, but I don't know that there is a dog on the other end of the rope, so the dog is also spinning on the dance floor. But Little Dot just smiled awkwardly, as if nothing had happened, and soon entered the next stage of the battle with his rival. Facing Jack, who is a head taller than him, Xiaodian has no chance of winning, but he did not completely admit defeat. Even if the hat was severely pressed by Jack and his eyes were closed, he would throw a few punches indiscriminately, even though he hit the pillar. , but the clock upstairs just fell and hit Jack. The little guy who took off his hat thought he had knocked down Jack, so he swaggered out of the dance hall with a victorious attitude. This is probably the "spiritual victory method" of Mr. Ah Q.
After occupying Hank's wooden house, the little guy is fortunate to have another guest he likes. Although he will inevitably be teased by Georgia and her girlfriend, Georgia promises to come back for dinner on New Year's Eve. Of course, 90% of it is a lie. , but it was enough to make Little Dot cheer, he jumped up and down, smashed the pillow, and let the goose feathers fly in the sky.
Georgia, who happened to forget to take off her gloves, saw this scene, which undoubtedly left a slight shock in her heart, it turned out that Xiaodian loved her so madly.
But Xiao Budian is more than that crazy. He "worked hard" to make money, carefully prepared dinner, and gifts, but except for a lost donkey, no one knocked on his door, he could only indulge in his own fantasies , imagine that Georgia and his female companions are coming, and he also dances a bread dance in high spirits.
It's supposed to be frustrating enough, but the little bit's efforts were not in vain. After the clock struck midnight, Georgia remembered the date with the little bit, so she decided to play tricks on him again, when she pushed open the door of the wooden house. , after seeing the simple but beautiful decorations in the room, the dinner and gifts on the table, the shock in my heart is no longer slight, but a kind of strong guilt, and the deep love for Xiaobudian.
When Little Dot and Georgia met on the boat again, Little Dot was still wearing his old suit. Georgia didn't look down on him and mistakenly thought he was a stowaway, but instead helped him hide and pay a fine for him. After being moved by Little Bit's sincere actions for the first time, Georgia's love for Little Bit is logical, even if she doesn't know Little Bit is a millionaire.
The little guy has become a rich man, and he is also favored by a big beauty. This is not a perfect ending. Summarize the secrets of success of the little ones, be optimistic and brave, sacrifice for friends, be enthusiastic for love, be sincere, be poor, and never be depressed.
