Today I read a passage commenting on Charles Chaplin and his films:
" Worldwide success never isolated Chaplin from the emotional basis of his work. ... In all his features of the twenties, he delved ever more deeply into the pain attendant to being human, to love more than you are loved, to have those things you value most torn away, to be ignored when you deserve to be noticed, to be forever isolated in a world where everyone else seems to be happily making contact. And, recognizing all that, to never give in to despair or hopelessness, to always carry on."

在我的很枯燥的课本里突然读到了这么细腻的一段话，不禁让我嗝蹬了一下。相比较那个年代的电影， 我更喜欢Buster Keaton的幽默方式。 卓别林所塑造的那个人自娱自乐，无知无畏， 让我想起了胡同里的傻子老七.


Buster Keaton, AKA: The stone face comedian.

附：回忆傻子阿七
他天热的时候穿厚厚的军大衣， 天冷的时候套个带洞的白衬衣。 他化了肥皂用笔管吸肥皂水 对着大太阳吹泡泡。太阳幌了眼睛又喝到了苦涩的肥皂水。我就想他为什么不戴付墨镜 又为什么非要仰着吹。
每当有女人的高跟鞋踏过胡同的青石板 发出清脆的回响时， 他就会从飞速地从屋子里冲出来，看是怎么样的人发出了这种声音。
(插： 以前有个男生想泡我就说了类似的一句话， 我听了就和他date了一段时间。 他说：最性感的声音是女生穿着有跟的鞋子走过水墨石板的巷子。)
跑题了。
