卓別林的電影的英文簡介

1. 卓別林英語介紹

1
Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889 in London. Her father was an entertainer and although not one of the big names, he was doing very well. Her mother Hannah was also an entertainer. A wonderful mimic, she had a sweet, charming voice. While they were by no means[1] rich, the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortabl
e living.

Unfortunately happy life didn't last long. Father's alcoholism was slowly, but surely destroying his marriage. Finally it ended in divorce, but Hannah was indomitable[2]. Without her, Charlie Chaplin would have become just one more child lost in the poverty of Victorian London. Somehow she not only managed to keep Charlie and his brother Syney clean and warm, clothed and fed but she conjured[3] little treats for them. She would sit at the window watching the passersby and guess at their characters from the way they looked and behaved, spinning tales to delight Charlie and Syney. Charlie took in her skills and went on using them all his life.

Charlie had always believed, even in the worst times, that had something special locked away inside him. He took his courage and went to see one of the top theatrical agents. With no experience at all, he was being offered the plum part[4] of Billy-- the pageboy in a new proction of "Sherlock Holmes". "Sherlock Holmes" opened on July 27, 1903 at the enormous "Pavilion Theatre" Charlie seemed to change overnight. It was as if he had found the thing he was meant to do.

It was, by now, 1908, Charlie was nineteen and he fell in love. Hetty Kelly was only fifteen. But her parents quashed[5] the the romance before it really begun-- but the memory of pretty Hetty stayed with Charlie all his life.

In 1910, when Karno set off on his yearly American tour, "One of the best pantomime[6] artists ever seen here." They had reached Philadelphia when a telegram arrived and he was being offered the chance to replace a star in the Keystone film company.

Cinema was born in the same year as Charlie thought people still believed it was a passing fad, and would never replace live shows. He was kept hanging about[7] for several weeks and he used the time to watch and to learn. He was determined to master this new medium. It offered him the chance of money and success -- and it would set him free from the unpredictability of live audience.

Charlie's first film, released in February 1914, was called "Making a living". Though it didn't satisfy Charlie, the public liked it. After that he had made ten films and he had learned a lot. The public loved him and distributors were demanding more and more Chaplin films. In an incredibly short time, Charlie had become a very important man in motion picture...

1889年4月16日查理·卓別林出生於倫敦。他父親是一個演員，

雖然不是什麼大人物，但也表現不俗。他母親哈那是一位出色的喜劇演員，嗓音甜美動人。雖然談不上富裕，可戲院的工作畢竟能使卓別林一家過上安逸的生活。

然而,幸福的生活並不長久，父親對酒的嗜好緩慢地、但卻毫無疑問地破壞著他的婚姻生活。這樁婚姻最終以離婚而宣告結束，但哈娜是不會輕易認輸的。沒有母親，查理·卓別林充其量也只是維多利亞時期倫敦城裡又一位窮困潦倒的兒童。她不僅想方設法讓查理和弟弟西尼吃飽穿暖，保持干凈整潔，而且動足腦筋變換方法，讓他們過得歡樂愉快。她有時站在窗邊，注視行人，通過行人的外表和舉止猜測他們的性格，繼而仿造故事，逗查理和西尼樂。查理繼承了母親的這點，而這也正是他一生用之不盡的財富。

即便在處境最為艱難的時刻，查理也始終堅信自己蘊藏著特殊的才能。他鼓足勇氣，前往倫敦一家高級的戲院經理商應聘。竟獲得新編的《歇洛克·福爾摩斯》劇中的小傭人比利一角。1903年7月27日《歇洛克·福爾摩斯》新劇在氣勢恢宏的帕維廉劇院首演，不久外出巡迴演出。查理似乎一夜間發生了巨變，他好似找到了立志從事的事業。

1908年，19歲的查理墮入情網。他所鍾情的海蒂·凱年僅十五。在他們之間的戀情處於萌芽狀態時，海蒂的父母果斷地終止了它的發展，然而，海蒂迷人的豐采竟使查理終生難忘。

1910年，卓別林所在的卡諾戲班赴美國作一年一度的巡迴表演，他被認為是「當地美國人曾經見過的最為出類拔萃的啞劇表演藝術家之一。當他們抵達費城時，一紙電文接踵而至，把替換基石電影公司的一位明星的機遇賜於了他。

電影業是與查理同年誕生的。但當時人們普遍以為電影業充其量只曇花一現的時尚，它不可能替代現場真人表演。公司給他幾周觀摩的時間，他站在一旁，邊觀察、邊學習，下定決心要駕馭這個新生事物。這個新興的行業給他帶來了賺錢和走向成功的機會，也將有助於他從對戲劇觀眾喧嚷起鬨的擔憂中解脫出來。

1914年2月，查理主演的處女片上映，影片取名《謀生》 盡管此片由於導演的無能而令查理大失所望，但觀眾還是喜愛這部片子的。之後他又拍了幾部片，增長了不少學識。公眾喜愛他，並且電影銷售商索要越來越多的卓別林的片子，在極短的時間內，他成了電影界的重要人物

2. 卓別林的英文介紹

Charles Chaplin made Limelight at the most troubled period of his alt career. In the late 1940s, America¹s Cold War paranoia reached its peak, and Chaplin, as a foreigner with liberal and humanist sympathies, was a prime target for political witch-hunters. It did not help that he had recently been cited in an unseemly paternity suit. Pilloried as he was by the right-wing press and reactionary institutions like the American Legion, it seemed that America had turned against the man it had once idolised.

In this atmosphere, his 1947 film, Monsieur Verdoux, with its sardonic view of war, was attacked as being anti-American. Not surprisingly, then, in choosing his next subject he deliberately sought escape from disagreeable contemporary reality. He found it in bitter-sweet nostalgia for the world of his youth - the world of the London music halls at the opening of the 20th century, where he had first discovered his genius as an entertainer.

His story concerns a once-famous comedian who has lost the ability to command his audience. Chaplin said that he based the character on real-life stage personalities whom he had seen lose their gifts and their public - the American black-face comedian Frank Tinney (1878-1940) and the Spanish clown Marceline (1873-1927) with whom he had himself worked as a boy. Clearly he was also thinking of his own present bitter experience of a faithless public.

Chaplin spent more than two years writing Limelight. His method was remarkable, and unique in his work. As a preliminary, he wrote the story in the form of a full-length novel - some 100,000 words long and entitled "Footlights". The novel - never published or apparently even intended for publication - relates the story as it appears in the finished film, but in addition includes two separate biographies of Calvero and Terry, detailing their lives before the action of the film proper begins.

What makes these biographies so remarkable is that we can trace in them a great deal of extended autobiography, as Chaplin quite openly introces episodes from his own life and those of his parents. Just like Chaplin¹s own father, Calvero is devastated when he discovers his wife¹s infidelity and drifts into alcoholism. In the novel, Calvero even dies in the same hospital - St Thomas』 on the banks of the Thames - where Charles Chaplin Senior died in 1901 at the age of only 37.

The character of Terry, the young dancer, was equally clearly based on Chaplin』s mother, Hannah, though with reminiscences too of Chaplin』s first and never forgotten love, Hetty Kelly.

Claire Bloom, who plays Terry, remembered that in rehearsing her, Chaplin was always recalling gestures of his mother or Hetty, and the clothes they wore. With this strong underlay of nostalgia, Chaplin was at pains to evoke as accurately as possible the London he remembered from half a century before. In this he was helped by the great Russian-born designer, Eugene Lourié, who remodelled a set on the Paramount lot to look like a Victorian London street. A permanent setting of a theatre at RKO-Pathe was decorated to look like the Empire Theatre, London』s grandest music hall.

For the climactic scene Chaplin planned a ballet, in which Claire Bloom - not a dancer herself - was doubled by Melissa Hayden, a star of the New York City Ballet. Since the coming of sound films, Chaplin had always composed his own music scores, with the assistance of arrangers. Exceptionally, the music for the ballet - 25 minutes, though it was reced in the final film - had to be composed in advance. Chaplin was relieved when Melissa Hayden and her partner and fellow star André Eglevsky assured him that the music was suitable for choreography. The "Limelight theme" was to remain one of Chaplin』s best-loved compositions; and in 1972, twenty years after the film』s first release, he and his musical collaborators Ray Rasch and Larry Russell were awarded a belated Oscar for "Best Original Dramatic Score".

The beautiful, 20-year-old English stage actress Claire Bloom was chosen to play Terry after much soul-searching; and Chaplin』s son Sydney was given the secondary male role. Perhaps it was a comfort in these difficult days - and an element of the nostalgia - to have his family around him: four other children and his half-brother Wheeler Dryden also played in the film, and even his young wife Oona doubled for Claire Bloom in two brief shots. Though Chaplin』s public life was beset by problems, the shooting of Limelight at least was trouble-free and completed in 55 shooting days an exceptional standard of economy for Chaplin』s feature proctions. The premiere was, appropriately, held in London on 16 October 1952. In Chaplin¹s absence, open official hostility in America escalated to a point where he decided not to return to "that unhappy country". Thereafter he made his permanent residence in Europe. At that moment Chaplin believed that Limelight would be his last film. It was not: but if it had proved so, this exercise in nostalgia and family autobiography would have been a fitting conclusion to his career.

5. 有誰知道 卓別林 城市之光 英文簡介，謝謝

《城市之光》影片簡介: 本片為美國國家電影保護局指定典藏珍品。 這部影片描述了一個流浪漢愛上了一位雙目失明的賣花姑娘，為了醫好她的眼睛，流浪漢拚命賺錢，參加拳擊比賽，在夜總會當打手等。 這是一部夾雜著鬧鬧吵吵的戲謔而最終抓住真愛的愛情喜劇。卓別林幽默的表演使他的形象更加深入人心。治好眼睛的賣花女，通過手的觸摸而明白了流浪漢真面目的最後一幕，令人熱淚盈眶。 本片也是查理·卓別林的最後一部默片作品，是他演藝事業中最高的藝術成就，片中充滿了淡淡的哀愁，但是卓別林則細膩、直率又幽默的肢體語言，巧妙的將其平衡。片中，小流浪漢與一個百萬富翁酒鬼之間的友誼，為此片增添了不少笑料，但是津津樂道的代表片段，還是片中的—場拳擊賽，與在餐廳中的一場瘋狂的舞蹈。 這部影片更被影迷們譽為「遺珠之憾」，因為當年的奧斯卡發現「沉默已不再是金」，默劇的時代已經過去，有聲電影當道，但是卓別林在片中卻始終一語不發，因此該片在奧斯卡上遭到冷遇。不過，如今的美國國家電影保護局已經將《城市之光》列入典藏電影目錄中，但那些同一年出品並獲得奧斯卡提名的影片，卻沒有一部列入典藏目錄。這樣子看來，小個子卓別林還是獲得了最後的勝利！

1889年4月16日查理·卓別林出生於倫敦。 編輯本段|回到頂部 生平與創作: 在電影史上靠拍悲劇成為大師的人數不勝數，但靠喜劇片成為大師的人卻是少之又少，這足以證明喜劇是一門多麼難的藝術，喜劇要讓人發笑的同時還要給人強烈的震撼，這比悲劇要難上一百倍。但卓別林做到了，百年來只此一人。腳登大皮鞋、手拿細手杖，邁著企鵝步的流浪漢形象，給一代又一代的觀眾帶來了無盡的歡笑。這歡笑背後隱藏著人生的孤獨與凄涼。這套DVD收錄了卓別林10部長片，加上兩張短片集錦，代表了卓別林一生最主要的成就，最令人高興的是，其中最重要的電影如《城市之光》《淘金記》《摩登時代》等都是數碼修復版，畫質比原來清晰了不少，作為收藏是上佳的選擇。 頭戴一頂大禮帽，腳登一雙尖頭鞋，鼻子下留著一撮烏黑的小鬍子，緊綳的上衣與肥大的褲子別扭地穿在身上，手裡舞著一隻手杖，鴨子般地出現銀幕上——這就是卓別林為我們創造的紳士流浪漢形象。查理·卓別林是好萊塢默片時代的巨星，他和他所創造的夏爾洛形象一起被人們永遠銘記。無論是流浪漢夏爾洛的善良、風趣、不幸，還是大獨裁者的剛愎自用、自高自大，這些都成了世界電影史上的經典造型。 卓別林1889年4月16日生於英國倫敦，父親和母親都游藝場的歌唱演員。 1歲時父母分居，幼年卓別林便隨母親四處周遊，並登台表演。 5歲時，因母親嗓子沙啞，結束了演出生涯，卓別林遂獨自登台從藝。 6歲時父親去世，母親病倒，卓別林與同母異父的哥哥流浪街頭賣藝、乞討，一度被送進孤兒院。後來兩兄弟在游藝場和巡迴劇團里演唱、跳舞和干各種雜活。 1913年，卓別林隨卡爾諾啞劇團去美國巡迴演出，被一位電影公司的製片人兼導演看中，簽訂了為期1年、周薪150美元的合同，從此，卓別林開始了他漫長的電影生涯。 1914年1月，卓別林拍攝了第1部影片《謀生》。同年2月18日，流浪漢夏爾洛的形象首次在喜劇電影《陣雨之間》里出現，這一形象後來就成為卓別林電影的主要銀幕造型。 1年後，卓別林在美國成了被人們廣泛熱愛的演員。 1915年，卓別林的《流浪漢》等影片獲得了巨大成功，卓別林也身價倍增。當他轉投其他電影公司時，年薪已高達67萬美元。 1917年，卓別林與米爾德麗德·哈麗斯結婚。 1924年兩人離異後，卓別林與麗塔·格雷結為夫妻，並生有兩個兒子。 1932年，卓別林又結了3次婚，新娘是寶蓮·高黛。 卓別林從1919年開始獨立製片，一生共拍攝了80多部喜劇影片，如《淘金記》（1925年）《城市之光》（1931年）《摩登時代》（1936年）《大獨裁者》（1940年） 《凡爾杜先生》（1947年）《舞台生涯》（1952年）等。這些影片不僅在美國，而且也在世界各地引起了觀眾濃厚的興趣。卓別林電影成了從20年代至50年代美國戲劇電影的最成功的代表，也成了那個時代電影的一種標志。 在第二次世界大戰開始以前的1938年，卓別林開始籌劃代名「七號」的工程，即後來拍攝完成的諷刺希特勒法西斯主義的電影《大獨裁者》。當時，英、美當局都害怕這部影片會引起麻煩，從而對卓別林施加了種種壓力，各地的納粹組織也威脅卓別林。但卓別林無所畏懼，仍然堅持拍攝。二戰全面爆發後，這部影片在世界引起了轟動。 卓別林的家庭生活經歷了許多變化。 1942年，他與已經共同生活了10年的第3個妻子寶蓮離婚後，一個曾與卓別林相好的年輕女性聲稱已經有了卓別林的孩子。這使卓別林卷進了桃色事件中。直到上了法庭，他的名譽才得到澄清。後來，54歲的卓別林與曾經獲得過諾貝爾文學獎的著名戲劇大師尤金·奧尼爾的女兒、年僅18歲的烏娜·奧尼爾結婚，盡管這樁婚姻受到了新娘父親的反對。 Edit this paragraph|Back to top Life and Creation: Tragedy in the history of cinema by making a master of countless people, but by a master of comedy is very few people, it proves how difficult comedy is an art of comedy to make people laugh while also giving strong shock, which is harder than tragedy on a hundred times.

1889年4月16日查理·卓別林出生於倫敦。他父親是一個演員，

雖然不是什麼大人物，但也表現不俗。他母親哈那是一位出色的喜劇演員，嗓音甜美動人。雖然談不上富裕，可戲院的工作畢竟能使卓別林一家過上安逸的生活。

然而,幸福的生活並不長久，父親對酒的嗜好緩慢地、但卻毫無疑問地破壞著他的婚姻生活。這樁婚姻最終以離婚而宣告結束，但哈娜是不會輕易認輸的。沒有母親，查理·卓別林充其量也只是維多利亞時期倫敦城裡又一位窮困潦倒的兒童。她不僅想方設法讓查理和弟弟西尼吃飽穿暖，保持干凈整潔，而且動足腦筋變換方法，讓他們過得歡樂愉快。她有時站在窗邊，注視行人，通過行人的外表和舉止猜測他們的性格，繼而仿造故事，逗查理和西尼樂。查理繼承了母親的這點，而這也正是他一生用之不盡的財富。

即便在處境最為艱難的時刻，查理也始終堅信自己蘊藏著特殊的才能。他鼓足勇氣，前往倫敦一家高級的戲院經理商應聘。竟獲得新編的《歇洛克·福爾摩斯》劇中的小傭人比利一角。1903年7月27日《歇洛克·福爾摩斯》新劇在氣勢恢宏的帕維廉劇院首演，不久外出巡迴演出。查理似乎一夜間發生了巨變，他好似找到了立志從事的事業。

1908年，19歲的查理墮入情網。他所鍾情的海蒂·凱年僅十五。在他們之間的戀情處於萌芽狀態時，海蒂的父母果斷地終止了它的發展，然而，海蒂迷人的豐采竟使查理終生難忘。

1910年，卓別林所在的卡諾戲班赴美國作一年一度的巡迴表演，他被認為是「當地美國人曾經見過的最為出類拔萃的啞劇表演藝術家之一。當他們抵達費城時，一紙電文接踵而至，把替換基石電影公司的一位明星的機遇賜於了他。

電影業是與查理同年誕生的。但當時人們普遍以為電影業充其量只曇花一現的時尚，它不可能替代現場真人表演。公司給他幾周觀摩的時間，他站在一旁，邊觀察、邊學習，下定決心要駕馭這個新生事物。這個新興的行業給他帶來了賺錢和走向成功的機會，也將有助於他從對戲劇觀眾喧嚷起鬨的擔憂中解脫出來。

1914年2月，查理主演的處女片上映，影片取名《謀生》 盡管此片由於導演的無能而令查理大失所望，但觀眾還是喜愛這部片子的。之後他又拍了幾部片，增長了不少學識。公眾喜愛他，並且電影銷售商索要越來越多的卓別林的片子，在極短的時間內，他成了電影界的重要人物

10. 給我一份卓別林的英文簡介，謝謝

Charlie Chaplin(16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor and film director of the silent film era who became one of the best-known film stars in the world before the end of the First World War. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and continued well into the era of the talkies, though his films decreased in frequency from the end of the 1920s. His most famous role was that of The Tramp, which he first played in the Keystone comedy Kid Auto Races at Venice in 1914. From the April 1914 one-reeler Twenty Minutes of Love onwards he was writing and directing most of his films, by 1916 he was also procing, and from 1918 composing the music.

Chaplin was one of the most creative and influential personalities of the silent-film era. He was influenced by his predecessor, the French silent movie comedian Max Linder, to whom he dedicated one of his films. His working life in entertainment spanned over 75 years, from the Victorian stage and the Music Hall in the United Kingdom as a child performer, until close to his death at the age of 88. His high-profile public and private life encompassed both alation and controversy. Chaplin's identification with the left ultimately forced him to resettle in Europe ring the McCarthy era in the early 1950s.

In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Chaplin the 10th greatest male screen legend of all time. In 2008, Martin Sieff, in a review of the book Chaplin: A Life, wrote: "Chaplin was not just 'big', he was gigantic. In 1915, he burst onto a war-torn world bringing it the gift of comedy, laughter and relief while it was tearing itself apart through the First World War. Over the next 25 years, through the Great Depression and the rise of Hitler, he stayed on the job. It is doubtful any indivial has ever given more entertainment, pleasure and relief to so many human beings when they needed it the most". George Bernard Shaw called Chaplin "the only genius to come out of the movie instry".
