Reading "The Autobiography of Chaplin": In the rain, no one can see his tears

How to become a good actor?

Someone gives such two answers--

One is "In any case, acting basically needs emotions ... A person is very smart, but if there is no emotion, he can be manifested as a ten evil criminal; a person is rich in emotions, but if there is no intelligence, his result is a one as one The harmless idiot with others. However, if intelligence and emotions get the ideal reconciliation, the best actor will be produced. "

The other is "You just love drama alone, you still need to love and believe in yourself."

"Fabelin Autobiography" Ying Charlie Charlin, Ye Dongxin translation of Linlin Publishing House

These two answers are "authoritative" because they come from Chaplin. This man with a hats, beards, fat trousers, big head shoes, and a crutch is a well -deserved movie giant.

Fabelin wrote in the autobiography: "To move the masses and get happiness; let them see all the sorrows and joy in life; to depict the fear of losing love; With hope, in the spirit of peace and friendship, to make up for the damaged part. "

"The Autobiography of Chaplin" translated by Ye Dongxin is a matter of many years. The school library provides translations in the early 1980s. This year, the translation of the translation of the Linlin Publishing House.

When translating this book, Ye Dongxin wrote himself: "This book is translated according to British Bolly Heide Publishing Company in 1964. From the content, autobiography was written by the author in 1953 after he moved to Weifei, Switzerland. The finishing draft was not as early as 1957. Although the author was filmed "A King in New York" in 1957, and filmed "The Earl of Hong Kong" in 1966, he died in 1977 in 1977 Previously, his life's artistic activity had been generally outlined in this autobiography. "

Chaplin was born in 1889 and died in 1977. When writing autobiography, he was in his 60s, reviewing his life, confessing his mood, showing all his charm, courage, pursuit and belief, recorded his poor childhood in the southern area of ​​London, the first experience in the stage, and to strive to shoot autonomy to shoot autonomy The efforts paid for power, the failed marriage, the escape from Hollywood, etc. It is also in this memoir that many details and trajectories in the history of movies and drama have been reproduced.

Fabelin was born in a family of actors in London. His parents are well -known comedians in the British circus, but they are forced to leave the stage because of their old age. The two were divorced early, and the father died of excessive alcoholism when he was only 37 years old, and his mother was tortured by mental illness for a long time. In the age of 5, Chaplin ran away from home and followed the circus to patrol to perform wooden dance. It's just that the egg tarts who were waiting for him and the remuneration of £ 3.6 per week, but the hungry and beating wooden sticks. A few months later, he escaped secretly, leaving vegetables to make a living, sleeping at the feet of the donkey, and eating radish and rotten apples.

Later, Chaplin participated in the tour of the Kano Theater "Holmes" and became a stage star. During the troupe of the troupe to the United States, he was hired by Kinson Film Company. In the second movie short drama "Children's Racing of Venice", he created a well -known and loved "tramp" image.

Soon, he began to directed himself. In 1919, he founded Lianmei Film Company with Douglas Fan punk, Mary Bike, D.W. Griffith. "Bright", "Modern Times", "Great dictators", "Mr. Verdul" and so on. During the prevalence of McCarthy, Chaplin's career fell into a trough, and he himself has been monitored by the Federal Investigation Agency. In 1952, he moved to Europe until he died in 1977.

Fang Bielin's life is of course legendary. This young man with a short figure and the bottom of his background, with his own efforts, took the iconic duck step, walked from the British theater to Hollywood in the United States. The tragic childhood did not let him yield, and he always adhered to the nobleness of his spirit.

It is worth mentioning that Chaplin's mother. Despite her life, she still strictly requested Chaplin, and she was not allowed to contaminate the city's bad habits and pay attention to etiquette. When the mental state is good, it will read the New Testament for Chaplin, bringing light to the children's young minds -those who later moved the world.

The image of the tramp in Chaplin has a dream, but it is a portrayal of his childhood experience. Because of his dream, Chaplin always insisted. He has his own unique view of the film and refuses to keep the old. He will negotiate with the film company again and again for this time.

No matter how great the characters need to face the change of the times. As the great god of the silent film era, the final stage of Chaplin's acting career coincides with the advent of the audio film era.

In 1926, the world's first audio movie "Swordsman Don" was released in the United States, and the silent film began to enter history. Chaplin was strongly dissatisfied with the audio -visual movie newspaper. He believed: "Several people sitting on the shooting scene were sitting there with headphones, dressed like a warrior from Mars; there were several microphones hanging above the actor, like fishing fish. Hooks. This kind of scene is so complicated and frustrating. Who can still be creative in this pile of garbage? "Although the silent films such as" Circus "and" Light of the City "he shot later are still well received Ru tide has also been criticized by the new generations. Of course, Chaplin did not make himself. In 1940, he gave up his insistence on the silent film and filmed his first audio movie "Great dictator". In 1952, Chaplin's third audio movie "Spring and Autumn" was released in the UK. Although he has made two movies since then, people still regard "Spring and Autumn" as his last wiping and stage career. In this autobiographical movie, Chaplin plays a clown actor to show his early scenery and his wolf in his old age.

In the film, the clown suddenly had a heart attack, but he rejected the staff's medical requirements and let people carry him to the stage for the final curtain of the stage and life. He was stuck in the drum and said to the audience with a smile: "I still want to continue to perform, but ... I stuck." The audience laughed, and he left, leaving only the sentence: "Let The audience laughs, it is very happy. "

For Chaplin, this is a life portrayal. It used to be brilliant until "over -the -world." He faced the trough of life and political suppression, but he never gave up the effort that made the audience laugh. At the same time, he also said: "I always like to walk in the rain, so no one can see my tears."

As the book wrote: "To be honest, the popularity cannot be based on theft; only the popularity that is enjoyed for human beings is meaningful, valuable, and enduring. It is because you are so chic at the performance, are really casual, are not bound by dogma, but not all clever. This is because you have had those suffering, happiness, hope, and disappointment; They have also suffered unbearable pain, need sympathy, often want to get comfort, and temporarily forget the pain in the laughter, and this laugh is not to heal people's trauma. It just gives people some comfort. " )
