CHICAGO – The wonder of a filmmaker’s art and perspective is the ability to challenge and reflect the absurdity of our own nature back to us. Few filmmakers have done more to add provocation to that sensibility than Harmony Korine.
In his first full-length feature film since “Julien Donkey-Boy,” Korine explores the hope of miracles and the sorrow of celebrity impersonation in “Mister Lon

Dal blog di Paolo Gatti.
C'era una volta una coppia con un figlio di 12 anni e un asino. Decisero insieme di viaggiare, di lavorare e di conoscere il mondo. Così partirono tutti e tre con il loro asino.
Arrivati nel primo paese, la gente commentava: "Guardate quel ragazzo quanto è maleducato… lui sull'asino e i poveri genitori, già anziani, che lo tirano!"Allora la moglie disse a suo marito: "Non permettiamo che la gente parli male di nostro figlio"Il marito lo fece scendere e salì sull'asino.
Arrivati al secondo paese, la gente mormorava: "Guardate che svergognato quel tipo… lascia che il ragazzo e la povera moglie tirino l'asino, mentre lui vi sta comodamente in groppa"Allora, presero la decisione di far salire la moglie, mentre padre e figlio tenevano le redini per tirare l'asino.
Arrivati al terzo paese, la gente commentava: "Povero uomo! Dopo aver lavorato tutto il giorno, lascia che la moglie salga sull'asino; e povero figlio, chissà cosa gli
"Nunca te olvides de sonreír porque el día que no sonrías será un día perdido.""Sin haber conocido la miseria es imposible valorar el lujo.""Luchar para vivir la vida, para sufrirla y para gozarla... La vida es maravillosa si no se le tiene miedo."A través de sus casi 90 películas de cine mudo y sonoro, ha llegado a convertirse en la figura más representativa del cine mudo, el cual le ha dado su fama mundial y la consideración de uno de los grandes genios de la historia del cine. En sus películas interpretó a un vagabundo que buscaba mejorar su vida sin conseguirlo nunca. La población que buscaba el «sueño americano» se identificaba con estas historias y las aventuras del vagabundo tuvieron éxito continuo durante más de diez años, aunque el personaje fue evolucionando. No quería que su personaje, Charlot, que había creado con tanto trabajo, hablara, porque pensaba que eso lo estropearía. De hecho, por más que en el Gran Dictador y en Candilejas Chaplin sí habla
"The opening title reads: "A comedy with a smile--and perhaps a tear". As she leaves the charity hospital and passes a church wedding, Edna deposits her new baby with a pleading note in a limousine and goes off to commit suicide. The limo is stolen by thieves who dump the baby by a garbage can. Charlie the Tramp finds the baby and makes a home for him. Five years later Edna has become an opera star but does charity work for slum youngsters in hope of finding her boy. A doctor called by Edna discovers the note with the truth about the Kid and reports it to the authorities who come to take him away from Charlie. Before he arrives at the Orphan Asylum Charlie steals him back and takes him to a flophouse. The proprietor reads of a reward for the Kid and takes him to Edna. Charlie is later awakened by a kind policeman who reunites him with the Kid at Edna's mansion." (source)Watch Charlie Chaplin: The kid Now
"The Gold Rush - Charlie Chaplin (1925/1942)" on Google Video
Source: www.arhive.org
The movie was originally released before the invention of sound film. For the 1942 re-release Chaplin composed and recorded a musical score, added a narration (his own voice) and tightened the editing.
Since the film was originally shot at 18 frames per second, the sound version, shown at 24 frames per second, is both shorter and faster than the original silent screenings. This has the side effect of making Chaplin's slapstick routines appear more frantic than before, a fact that had probably influenced Chaplin's decision to shoot Modern Times at silent speed.
