A bread dance, dancing out of the romance of love and heartbreak, he really understands love.
A man wrote this passage to his little wife:
The world is like a giant circus
It excites you
And it scares me
Because I know it will always be after the end
Limited temperature storage, unlimited heartache.
The core of all comedy is tragedy, and it was the great comedian Charlie who wrote this poem. Chaplin.
There are thousands of directors who have filmed the poor, and the only one who has really suffered from hunger is Chaplin.
Chaplin once said in an interview that the children who could not eat a meal at home on Sunday belonged to the class of almost beggars, and we belonged to that class at that time.
He had an extremely bitter childhood, when he was a child, he suffered a blank stare to survive, his parents divorced at an early age, his mother had mental problems, and the warmth and love he received in the family was extremely limited and scarce, so after becoming famous, a series of love histories made him fall into criticism.
It wasn't until he met Una that his heart really settled.
He met Una-O'Neill when she was 16 years old. When they married, Chaplin was 54 years old and Una was only 18 years old, so Una's father broke off relations with her. Una's father was the famous American playwright Eugene O'Neill, who won the Pulitzer Prize after his work "Beyond the Horizon" was performed on Broadway, and he was also the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. He has not spoken to his daughter since he married Chaplin.
Chaplin and Una, a relationship that was not favored by the world at all, eventually came to the end.
After marriage, they lived together for 34 years, giving birth to 8 children, five boys and three women.
The prodigal son, who had a lot of love history in his previous life, after meeting this little wife, they both found what they wanted for a long time.
Una finds a fatherly character who loves her like a brother and loves her, and Chaplin finds here someone who is both innocent and completely faithful to himself and able to soothe him as his credibility in the public continues to decline.
Beneath the funny of Chaplin's genius lurks a deep fear of the poor past. But this fear also gave him countless inspirations, allowing him to make one work after another.
He did not go to school, but he loved to learn and study, and eventually became a generation of masters.
After his marriage to Una, he began to settle down and focus more on his family, while his works began to gradually decrease.
Among Charlie Chaplin's many works, one of Chaplin's favorite films during his lifetime was "The Gold Rush".
1925's Gold Rush was 94 years old, and the film had been edited 27 times by Chaplin, and in 1942, Chaplin re-dubbed, added a soundtrack, and personally recorded the narration, which was enough to see his importance and love for the film.
The Gold Rush was also collected by the National Film Preservation Agency in the Library of Congress in 1992.
In the "Classic Reproduction" screening unit of the second Hainan Island International Film Festival this year, Chaplin's classic masterpiece "Gold Rush" was replayed, and the world's top conductor Timothy Brock was invited to the scene to conduct the soundtrack, providing an unprecedented viewing experience for the audience.
This film from almost a hundred years ago still seems funny, humorous, and poignant.
Anyone who has been humiliated by poverty and has seen Chaplin's performance will feel the restraint of tragedy under the comedy performance, the timid, kind tramp, who is obviously so blatantly poor, and wears a top hat, a cane, and tattered leather shoes, maintaining the dignity that others seem ridiculous.
With the tyrant, he is humble and has to be careful to greet, to get along with the good, he also has his own little cleverness, small calculation, and the survival wisdom of the little people at the bottom.
The content of the film now seems simple, under the gold rush, countless people braved the cold and snow to go to Alaska to pan for gold.
Trapped in a log cabin, the tramp Charlie is forced to eat cooked leather shoes to fill his hunger, even if he eats leather shoes, Chaplin's performance is like eating fish and spitting out fish, which makes people can't help but feel pity.
And Big Jim was so hungry that he was so hungry that he actually saw Charlie as a big turkey and wanted to chase and eat him. And that big turkey is also played by Chaplin himself, if you have seen China's "1942", it is not difficult to understand how desolate this funny is.
Finally, due to the accidental intrusion of a black bear, the ration problem of the two of them was solved.
Charlie left the cabin and came across a hut in the market, the owner of the hut was an engineer from a gold mine, the engineer who had just gotten up was making coffee and making breakfast, the poor Charlie was hungry outside the window, and he also saw that this Hans was a kind-hearted man, deliberately fainting in front of his door, and Hans saw it and quickly carried him back to the house to warm up and give him food.
Charles served Hans attentively, helping him dust the ashes from his clothes, pouring him coffee, and rushing to clean up the room. It just so happened that Hans was going to inspect a gold mine, and it would be several months before he returned, and there was a shortage of someone to help him take care of the hut. Charlie seized the opportunity and naturally stayed and had a safe place.
Later he went to the only club here and met the beautiful girl Giorgia.
Why the beautiful girl will be a dancer in this snow-covered broken place, in this only club, I don't know.
But Jokia undoubtedly has her own ideas, she does not look at the glitz and greasiness of those men, disdains to become their prey, but she is full of yearning for love. But in this market full of gold diggers, will there be men who are loyal to love?
Jokia's pursuit of the wild bee wave butterfly is rejected, but she also yearns for the hilarity of this drunken gold fan. It was so cold outside, the wind and snow were so big, but the club was as warm as spring, and she could enjoy dancing, music, the chase of admirers and fine wine.
She had only danced with Charlie in a gamble, and originally just wanted to tease him before offering to go to his cabin with her female companions for a New Year's dinner.
Charlie, on the other hand, worked hard for several days to prepare a decent dinner for this New Year's dinner, and even prepared gifts and greeting cards for each girl.
The new Chinese New Year's Eve, the club is brightly lit, and everyone is dancing, singing and spending the New Year together. Giocia also rose on a whim and forgot about the pact.
The singing and laughter coming out of the club were heard by Charlie, and he knew he was ridiculous, but what if Georgia came? He waited to fall asleep, and in his sleep, When Jokia really came, she came with the girls, and Charlie danced a small bread dance for them at the table with forks and bread.
A small bread dance interprets the joy, enthusiasm, inferiority, heartbreak, and heartbreak in unrequited love, and has become a classic in the following decades.
When the New Year's bell rang, And Georgia rushed to Charlie's cabin, and seeing Charlie asleep on the table and the elaborately prepared dinner, Jokia pushed away for the first time the female companions and suitors who mocked Charlie.
Jim had to find Charlie and ask him to help him find his own gold mine, and when Jim dragged Charlie away from the club, Charlie turned around and shouted: Jokia, I will come to pick you up when I find the gold mine, you are a good girl, you should not live like this.
Jokia froze, it turned out that all men knew that a good girl should not live such a life, but in fact, she herself knew that life was too hard, and she was still obsessed with the hilarity in it.
Charlie and Big Jim find the gold mine, and the pantomime performance of the cottage on the cliff has become a classic.
Big Jim and Charlie, who found the gold mine, became millionaires, wearing furs, taking watches, and going back in luxury cabins. On the boat, Charlie was interviewed by a reporter who wanted to ask him to put on his poor clothes and record the video.
As he changed into his tattered clothes, he met Georgia on the boat.
Jokia also ended her days at the Alaska Club and wanted to go back to a normal life.
She thought Charlie had been smuggled into the boat, and when the police caught him, Georgia was so anxious to pay for Charlie's bail. Finally the reporter arrived to break the siege, and the police arrested the wrong person, this is a well-known millionaire, not a thief.
The misunderstanding is eliminated, the poor boy gets rich overnight, becomes a millionaire, and at the same time finds his own love, and finally is with the goddess.
A rare reunion ending, tragedy and comedy intertwined, and the style of a generation of masters has been looming in 1925.
The happy ending, lively soundtrack, the sarcastic narration and the exaggerated elements of Chaplin's comedy itself make this work feel particularly like an animated film, and even now it seems to be funny and humorous, without obsolescence.
A film that can be appreciated by all and made everyone like, Chaplin is definitely the most prominent one.
