It seems to me that I always knew Charlie Chaplin and his films. He is deeply embedded at me in memory, throwing some light outlines of something very bright, kind, witty and fun. It films dreams — are quite similar. The purpose of one — to entertain, to show the injustice of society and the vices of men through the funny conflicts of the characters. Heroes Chaplin always spelled out on level. He knew the people and watched them with times are tough childhood, helping his parents-actors to dance in music halls, selling gastly, glue, children's toys, working in hospital on typography... Childhood Charlie Chaplin was heavy. The father took to drink, and mother of despair and depression has lost his mind. All this affect little Charlie and the left him in memory. But when the little boy grew up and became a good earn and later in the movies, he has managed to create a character who we all so love — the character of the tramp. Same the defenseless, the same funny amorous. This image was first appeared in Comedy "Kids car racing" in 1914. The tramp was rapidly developing in such wonderful films as "the Kid" (1921) "the gold rush" (1925), in including "the Circus" (1928). In the past, this character takes on new meaning.
The film's story is extremely simple, and even to some it may seem naive. Postate — it is captivating Chaplin. The new tramp is manifested through conflict with the world. Hero then the accused, it recognize innocent, he is threatened, and then to praise, it love, then hate, thank you and leave one... All this is the best Chaplin showed in the circus where many things are hidden under the colorful costumes, beautiful masks and cheerful faces of the audience. The story and its characters as it is surrounded (from lat. circus — range) and is the focus of our attention.
"First,- says Charlie,- I have visited the circus when I was eight years old. It was Middlesboro... In the time I have not found anything more beautiful than the clown LAPAN. I admit that he instilled in me the desire to be like him. As I loved and admired him! Imagine it with a brush and a pot, otrashivayem with some imaginary dust. He has caused such an explosion of laughter from public, the whole city strove to have a look at him. Its popularity has made on me great impression... on the way to the scene, he never know that will do, but improvised with exciting force. All the program was held at this one. I found it gorgeous I have not was other desire than to imitate him".
For Chaplin's "the Circus" — is a kind of eye in the past, where it with the thrill of imagining her first love (hence the image of a little ballerina), the hard times of childhood and the eternal job search. In the film, Charlie agrees to any job — first, to earn, and then to be closer to his beloved. It love the sympathy of innocent and sincere. He loves her and desires of happiness. It feelings daughter of the Ringmaster is the main storyline of the film, which takes place along the many comic situations and gags and is one of the most touching love stories. What is the rescue scene from the poverty, when the tramp asks the tightrope Walker to marry your favorite dancer Or... he forgot your smazochno face, seeing her in costume. Black and white Chaplin film I would be called a masterwork of the late silent era, where are combined together details-thoughtful script, great acting and spectacular performances to the circus. And most importantly, what so much touching the film — this is a genuine feelings of the characters, the eternal humor and wonderful music.
Surprising still is how Chaplin was able to achieve the lightness, experiencing extraordinary difficulties in the filming. "Circus" — one of the most problematic and long it projects. Shooting lasted for three years, which Charlie lost her mother, divorced from his wife, watched the fire of his Studio, and in the end, was forced to be treated in the clinic for neurotic. Of medical goes completely gray. Conceived as a hilarious Comedy "the Circus", takes very different features. In this film, the tramp becomes more than a human being, which also may be sad and to worry about your future. Tramp fails, loses his love and in the end left completely alone. Pogrustim a little and looked stupidly in the ground, he suddenly stands up, straightens his fun bowler hat, and goes to meet new adventures.
The film "the Circus" has become one of the most successful movies in the era of silent films, earning us $3.8 mil.
