The Kid, Charlie Chaplin film, rewievs: The higher the audience lifted up

I am ashamed to admit, but for the first time I watched the film Charlie Chaplin just now, only 20 years old. And I began to get acquainted with this film. Well, that was it. Or maybe it's for the best. It is difficult to express all your emotions after watching this movie. Perhaps because again ashamed.

The main idea of this film is already expressed in the best way possible. But it is worth repeating again. A talented actor, comedian thrown to the side of the theater. So the "grateful" viewer repaid the one who devoted his whole life to the stage to the one who gave himself to her without a trace. Did he want so much? He just wanted to hear the audience laugh again, to feel for a moment that they needed him. How did it happen? After all, Calvero knew and loved everything. He could teach a lot to the new generation of actors-comedians. But he was thrown away, like an old clown mask.

This film shows the tragedy of only one actor. And how many of them are talented and forgotten? The audience is capricious, unpredictable and insatiable. Every day she needs a new spectacle, and she throws everything yesterday into the trash.

This film was shot more than half a century ago, but did anything have changed? On the contrary, things got worse. Viewers have become more grateful. The theater is almost forgotten, faces in cinema are replaced as in a kaleidoscope. What will the viewer demand tomorrow? Not only that today we ourselves can not create anything worthy, so we still dare to question the classics. How many times have I met a statement like “this is in fact the most overvalued film”, “he / she is not that talented as well, as is commonly believed,” and this we are talking about the classics of cinema, about great people of cinema. Here, someone doubted the talent of Charlie Chaplin. What would we do without him? What would we do without first movers? Therefore, yes, ladies and gentlemen, on the classics, or as good or as!

How many talented famous actors and writers died in poverty? And only after their death, we shoot documentaries with regret, talking about the last days of Great Life. Are you still not ashamed?

And I was ashamed when I watched this movie. Looking at the great Chaplin, I so wanted to apologize. He succeeded in touching the most tender strings of my soul. Is this not proof? Hard to watch. as in the first half of the film, Calvero tries to encourage the girl, to instill hope in her. Did he himself believe that? He, like no one, understood that any attempt to go back to the stage would be just a pity, a handout from the viewer. And this is even more painful. Where is the way out? How to fix it?

But who is to blame for the actor's tragedy? Whose fault is that his numbers and jokes aren't funny anymore? Maybe the viewer is not so guilty? Culver said that everything changes, but does not pass. Actors and spectators remain and change. It is possible that some jokes become obsolete. Although ... with good jokes this can not be. I have yet to reflect on this. But the important thing is that we should not forget the great ones.

Wonderful touching movie, the game takes the actors for the soul. Unfortunately, I cannot fully express all my thoughts. Emotions overwhelmed. Great music, great dance performance. To all this, Maestro Chaplin had a hand. I still want to say a lot, but you can talk endlessly about the theater and the audience.
