We all love Charlie--About "Stage Spring and Autumn" We all love Charlie--About "Stage Career"

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > We All Love Charlie — about Stage Career</h1>

　　Originally, I wanted to write about Chen Rubin and Xiang Junshu, but I forgot to write it. When I watched the movie, I forgot about their voices, and I think the highest state of dubbing should be like this.

　　Didn't you say you hated theater?　　Yeah, I hate blood, but it's in my veins.　　Many people first knew about the foreign actors and directors, his friends called him Charlie, we called him Chaplin. He is the film enlightenment of many people, and Xie Tian is like this. Lu Xun, Russell, Sartre, Einsentan, Gandhi, and Shaw all loved his films. Now, looking at Chaplin, it's a bit old. But his film, with the simplest humanistic care, has become the brightest diamond in the forest of world cinema, he broke away from the barrier of edutainment, but unusually humble to tell us that life is like this: everything is the beginning of no end, everything is a fleeting pursuit. And the tear marks in the depths of joy, the smile behind the suffering, he also presented it to us.

　　An important theme of the 2003 Cannes Film Festival was the nostalgia for Chaplin, titled "Long Live cinema". What people are grateful for is not chaplin's contribution to the ever-changing language of cinema, but the eternal charm that Chaplin has given to the film, which is downright folk, and that sincere self-pity and dignity. As a result, Chaplin and his works have endured for a long time and become the memory shared by mankind.

Back to the light

　　The emergence of sound has made the "great dumb" of the film a little confused, and the situation of Chaplin, who has won the love of people all over the world by relying on wonderful body language, is also a little embarrassing. Chaplin was once rejected at the beginning of the birth of sound films. And the final elegy of the two silent films "City Lights" and "Modern Times" also reached the peak of his career. In 1940, he decided to allow himself to speak, which was the [Great Dictator] who caused political strife and made Hitler restless. This film makes Chaplin's film kingdom more and more glorious, but "sound" does not put wings on Chaplin's films, and most of his subsequent films lose their imagination and flaming improvisation, and the brilliance of Charlot, who wears a top hat and wears a Rendanhu, walks with a crutch and a figure-eight foot, begins to fade. In Chaplin's last work, "The Countess of Hong Kong", although marlon Brando and Sophia Roland helped, they were lifeless, and the two superstars were somewhat reluctant to mention the film.

　　Many artists have a work that summarizes their artistic life, Visconti is [Venice], Bunuele is [The Dark Purpose of Desire], Bergman is [Fanny and Alexander], and Akira Kurosawa is [Dream]. Chaplin is [stage career], at the beginning of the film, Chaplin knows that he has the suspicion of old age, he said that the film belongs to "youth". Chaplin was 63 years old, and his artistic life, in a way, was at the end of the road, and [stage career] was an extremely dazzling return to the light. He used the film as an altar, took his whole body and mind as a sacrifice, and made a desperate choice. And once again, movies, like people, are good and good.

Old people and young girls

　　In 1914, in an ordinary apartment in London, England. There was a clown who had not heard thunderous applause for a long time, and he had to drink some wine before he went on stage, and even so, the audience still did not sell his account and left the table. He inadvertently rescued a fairly beautiful girl, who had a strange disease and could not walk upright without moving, but she loved ballet. The clown gave her the most generous care in time, and she was back on the stage. The girl fell deeply in love with him and wanted to marry him. He refused, and he knew that the girl was sincere, so this made his refusal even firmer. The girl planned a performance for him, and he won the last thunderous applause of his life, and left his life on the stage due to a sudden heart attack. And the girl was still dancing like a wave, as if she had seen a clown under a white cloth, perhaps not.

The desire to live

　　Chaplin is known as a generation of laughers, that is, his films are mostly comedies, and he can deftly capture the twinkling sparks of human ruin, only later, he adds a little tear to his sparks. Chaplin also became great because of this. And [stage career] is Chaplin's film that lacks the most "sense of humor", where there are no misunderstandings, coincidences, only the slow drying up of the river of years. A clown is dying, he has no audience, he can only come on stage anonymously. And his life has become a candle in the wind. This is probably a disaster that most artists can hardly escape, your appearance and spirituality are all old and yellow, and the audience will always need to be glamorous, and one can move them more than one in a sophisticated plan. Only a few who are favored by God achieve glory in their prime so that their lives can be fulfilled.　　 When the dancer was discouraged, the harlequin kept encouraging her and said many sonorous and powerful words. But the most heart-wrenching thing is that the dancer says that she can't find the meaning of life, the clown bids farewell to her, life itself has no meaning, life is just a wish, just made up of one wish after another that will eventually be broken. The beauty of life is also precious because of these fragments as a background. So, the state of the clown is regressive and fighting, and when he is reduced to street selling, he gives himself the greatest comfort, he says that this is the stage where art should exist. No one will respect your hard work, not even the slightest courtesy, so what is the point of your creation? Therefore, more often, sincere artists are faced with their own inner wishes, which is the "wish of life" chosen by the artist. This is their last retreat, and it is their only spiritual pillar.

　　The clown uses his glass-like dignity, almost shattered at the touch, and when he meets acquaintances when selling art, people are embarrassed to pay, and he advises people not to do so. This is reminiscent of a quote Chaplin said: between life and art, he would be obliged to choose the latter. It's just that his life is far less beautiful and moving than his sad films, he appeared on stage at the age of four, and he had a father who drank and died early, which made him live an early life without food, did countless miscellaneous chores, and after becoming famous, he was repeatedly persecuted politically. In this way, he can only fulfill his wishes in the film, which includes his gratitude and tolerance for life. Throughout Chaplin's life and his work, it corresponds to a quote from Roman Rolland: see the world clearly, and then love it.

Serve life

　　[Stage career] is reminiscent of Dostoevsky's famous "White Nights", a fantasist accompanies a girl to wait for her lover, waiting for a total of 5 white nights. The girl's sweetheart came, and the fantasist left. This past has also become the most memorable memory of his twilight years. [Stage career] tells the story of the endless art itself, breaking through the soft melancholy of only hearing the laughter of the new people and not hearing the cries of the old people, showing the great submission of human beings in the face of the irrevocable laws of art. The Harlequin refuses the dancer's request to associate with him, knowing that passion will pass and life will wither. It is necessary to say about love, although gratitude and compassion are not the essence of love, but gratitude and pity are the foundation of many solid loves, and gratitude and compassion will also be spring and rain under the inspiration of love. It's just that the dying clown has no time and energy to digest the other's full love, and he tearfully refuses the other party's same tearful request. He knows that love needs strength, but he is powerless to do everything he wants, all he has left is desire, but love is only a wish is far from enough.

　　Many of Chaplin's films have talked about love, and almost all of them have an angelic man who, after fulfilling a woman's happiness, then leaves. Chaplin's own private life was extremely rich, and his femininity was excellent, which also prompted him to often do things that began to be chaotic and abandoned. Completely without the hidden pain of carrying the needle in the cotton like in his film, he still greeted the world with a smile from the heart. So whether Chaplin's film is a reminder, a supplement, or a torture in the depths of his soul for his life, only Chaplin himself knows. [The stage career], on the other hand, breaks free from the gains and losses of love, exploring that art serves humanity, and when you don't have a service function, you have to quit the stage. No matter how much sincerity and effort you have put into it, you must say goodbye. The most heart-wrenching part of the film is that he does not want to leave the stage. He also complained about the stage. But as soon as he had the opportunity to return to the stage, his heart warmed up again. The dancer asked him didn't you say you hated theater? He said, "Yeah, I hate blood, but it's in my veins."

　　The scene on the set was filled with an extremely sour sense of dreaminess. The clown first performed a play about fleas, which he performed many times, and each time the audience was not excited. But this time, everyone laughed, because the audience had been bought off by the dancers, and they were applauding on the face of money, and they were out of breath. Later the Harlequin and his partner performed another performance, two broken street performers who stomped on the violin and nearly broke up the piano. But they were still playing, and the music was getting more and more exciting. Like this tattered instrument, they still spare no effort to dedicate the clown played by Chaplin to the people in an unprecedented excitement, thinking of continuing to play among the audience. At this time, the audience was completely impressed by this unexpected magic, and this time, they were really applauding. The clown unfortunately fell off the stage and fell into the timpani drum. At first, I thought it was a back injury, but it was heart failure. Even so, with all his strength, he was carried to the stage comically, and he sat in the timpani drum and made the last curtain of his artistic life.

　　What an artist is, Chaplin gave an answer that many people could not face. That is, when you cannot contribute to humanity through art, you have to bow down to your art. Chaplin did so, and in his year of flower armor, he let people see a filmmaker, a musician, a dancer, a thinker, in the form of self-immolation, realizing the nirvana of his life.

Endless wandering

　　There's no one in this film who can be called a clown, they just try to live the life they want. This is also the scene with the most interior scenes in Chaplin's films, with the style of a sudden stage. In other words, this film can be completely put on the stage and become a drama and dance drama. Chaplin almost gave up the twisting and turning of the language of the film, and told us this sour and infinitely sentimental story in the most simple way. Is he not skilled enough, or is he afraid that the brilliance of the film language will affect the viewer's emotional strength and ideological brilliance into the depths of this film and drama? In short, when we watch this movie, we forget that it is a movie, and Chaplin's films often have such magic.

　　Regarding Chaplin's successor, the italian film master Federico Fellini was the first to promote, and his early films all had an unconscious compassion for human nature. Fellini later turned to the search for the subconscious. Now, the only person close to Chaplin is the Yugoslav cinematic genius Emil Kusturica. All three of them have a very strong interest in wandering and have a fairly strong circus complex. Art is their life, their life, their dreams and reality. They filtered out all the boundaries in between in a wandering manner. In the jungle of images where they shout sometimes and whisper sometimes, when they are turbulent and peaceful, when they are disordered and sometimes easy, they strengthen the passage of time, and they are in it, singing as they walk, and become the higher animals of time. They are selling art, that is, you don't pay money, they still sing and dance, this is the eternal fate of art. Death is also the most important theme of the film, and Chaplin did not dare to touch the ultimate in life until his twilight years. Fortunately, he saw that the essence of life was continuation, not simple demise. The dancer is still dancing, and she will not be able to dance one day, but what does it matter. Kitajima wrote in The End and the Beginning: "Where I fell / There will be another person standing up / On my shoulders is the wind / On the wind are twinkling constellations." It's that simple, it's so tragic.

　　In 1977, in Switzerland, there was an unforgettable Christmas. Charlie Chaplin died of illness on this day, at the age of 88. He left us nearly a hundred films, and none of them won an award before his death.
