Personally, I have never been moved so much by a climax except The Bicycle Thieves last scene. Marvellous people they were, miss them so much and the human aspects in the movie whenever I see the video games in the name of movies nowadays!!Arghyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657825789357099081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556566360743437790.post-5868998115147847962012-11-20T11:54:57.946+05:302012-11-20T11:54:57.946+05:30Well , I m agree with ur title of article Silence ...Well , I m agree with ur title of article Silence Mightier Than Words- Chaplin in Talkies .I always used to say ‘my silence speakes’. So again remembered my own words by title!<br />Citylights being my all time fvrt fantacy (much lovely is climax). Modern Times indeed a grt comment on industrialisation. So both silent gems in talkie era bears grt standards of art.<br />For me, I love Charlies silent movies much than talkie(exceptionTGD and L’light)<br />The point u mentioned that internationally succeed Chaplin covered all English unaware area is significantally right. Launguage comprehension have limits but gestures are forever. That the reason why C C conquered. I remember this time when once Charlie said to Sir Einstein that”any person of any languages of any country and of any religion can understand me but no person of any languages of any country and of any religion can understand u ”. This is power of mute than word.<br />Chaplins TGD was much longer movie and full talkie with all joy and msg provided by pseudo dictator. That last speech by Chaplin is simply superb and grt. Well, though USA that time not was in WW2 but country was frnd of UK against whom Hitler fighting. So its its natural to film (in which Hitler picturized comic man)undergone blockbuster. Those liar democracy supporter USA people always made safe themselves to support any democratic revolution.So liked TGD, one may reason in spite of politics.<br />On MV, I agree with u. There is no single similarity of tramp with rascal man. I think though any one criticizes that MV empowering criminal instincts, does not matter . Bcoz in perturbation time like depression , its reality. So we have praise to CC bcoz he exhibited reality through MV. I think , In MV Charlie failed to keep constant his as usual dynamic speed of changing scenes through story and became many times boring. Ur point that we were with no sympathy for criminal at end is also logically pure reason.<br />What to say about masterpiece Limelight? Though that movie had such intrinsic strength of story, picture was super powered by Chaplin’s acting and developing that story-seed very powerfully throughout all movie(See one of scene when Calvero inspiring weak dancer with speech which he must have to travel. I know Chaplins objective was not that but can we extract one conclusion from that scene like”people guides the way to others which they have to travel themselves ”? This is human nature all time to direct others.) . Though commercially not proved much successful by reasons, I think film bears eternal value. Chaplin’s greatest work was that declined genius of Limelight(along with darer Dictator!) . If there were no ban by USA, I think Limelight definitely been proved blockbuster.Once Raj Kapoor said ‘my unlucky children are Mera naam joker and Jagte raho’. Reasons for Jokers failure were different .For limelight were different. But both movies having resembling roots proved unfortunate.Grand salute CC for this classic venture.<br />As u know, I m hater of New York’s King!! Whats in movie? Why Charlie did this? OK some scenes are best , i also like . One can also see the bitterness in CC’s mind for USA administration in scene where King spreads powerfull water force from pipe to USA committee members, it is symbolic? Definitely , its Charlies symbolic revenge.Its not art. So fans of Charlie must see king considering that this not Charlie’s job, as u said same.<br />I have not seen A Countess from Hong Kong. <br />Ur article and including observations, conclusions are very beneficial and rich. Great job. Thnx for such fantastic xperience.I think Charlie was for silent era and so he identified for same. Thats why though Hynkel and Calvaro supported the actor, actors original immortal image people love is of innocent tramp, so we always see that image usually.<br />Thnk uAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134701267178171341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556566360743437790.post-39033109128542474872012-11-18T17:38:16.326+05:302012-11-18T17:38:16.326+05:30Many thanks Supriyo Da, talking of Chaplin and you...Many thanks Supriyo Da, talking of Chaplin and your inputs are very precious!!
