Time can't change the beauty of a movie

Keaton, who is as famous as Chaplin as a silent film master, is indeed not as well-known as Chaplin, but the importance of the two to the silent film era is unshakable by others!

In the early 1950s, silent films almost disappeared. In the 1960s, a batch of silent film animations were born. "Tom and Jerry" and "Popeye" animation of many characters' actions and ideas were influenced by silent films. .

"Seven Chances", a film from the 1920s, still has a lot of surprises today. The only drawback of the film is that the story of the film is too simple and cliché (this is seen from the current perspective) The soundtrack of the film continues The style of silent films is always lively and playful! The rhythm of the movie, except for the opening few minutes after Jimmy's unsuccessful pursuit of his crush, made me addicted to watching the climax of the movie. The scene where Jimmy was chased by many callers for marriage was not small at all! During the period of avoiding the stone, I really squeezed a sweat for him. Although I knew it was a prop, I couldn't help but worry when I saw the stone rolling down. What surprised me was that Jimmy's actor, Buster Keaton, was not tall and thin. In this clip, his small body burst out with great energy! A variety of difficult actions emerge in an endless stream (Jackie Chan, who pioneered the action comedy, was also inspired a lot in Keaton's films).

Movies are really wonderful things. This movie has been released for nearly a hundred years, but it can still make people happy, so good works will not fade with time, but contain amazing brilliance.

    Not necessarily accurate, but also for Chaplin and Keaton. The same point is that their personal performance style is unique, and the use of camera positions, action design, and post-editing in the film are very flexible and ingenious. The difference is that Chaplin's "individual" is more forceful to describe the "individual in the era", while in the sadness of the era, he still maintains a positive humor. As for Keaton, he focuses more on the "individual" in the "individual world" and what the times are like. This description is a little farther away. On the other hand, in the movie, Keaton always has a depressed face, Chaplin's expression changes more, or let's just put it this way, Chaplin's works are more tragic, but also more optimistic. . Just saying that doesn't mean Keaton is pessimistic, he's just prone to gloomy face, the evidence for that comes from the end of his movie, in many of Keaton's works, we seem to be able to find it, in fact, he has arranged for himself a long time ago A happy ending.

    8.4/10. 56 minute version. ①The male protagonist who was in financial crisis received a surprise inheritance of 7 million from his grandfather, but the condition was that he had to start getting married before 7 o'clock today, so he was single and went around looking for someone to propose. ②The part of the proposal group (and the chase scene after that) is the funniest and most exciting. The three parts of referring to the wrong proposer, taking off the head at the shampoo shop, and wanting to kiss but being interrupted by the dog that came out are not bad. The other parts are relatively unsatisfactory ( Most of the lines are funny). PS: This deep focus lens is quite a lot. ③ Some racist jokes that discriminate against blacks and Jews.
