淘金记The Gold Rush

剧情简介Synopsis

《淘金记》（英语：The Gold Rush）是1925年上映的美国无声喜剧电影。由查理·卓别林执导和编剧。卓别林、乔治娅·黑尔、马克·斯维恩、汤姆·默里、亨利·博格曼和马尔科姆·韦特参演。 卓别林相信喜剧和悲剧相距不远，并将匮乏和恐怖元素融入喜剧当中。他决定将自己的经典角色成为孤独的探金者，加入勇敢的乐观主义者并决心面对与寻金相关的困境，例如疾病、饥饿、寒冷、孤独，或是随时被灰熊攻击的可能性。这些元素可从卓别林煮食和梦到自己的鞋子，或他那饥饿的朋友误将自己看成一只鸡等场景观察到。 电影在上映时大受好评，至今也是卓别林的代表作之一，本人亦多次提到，这部为他最希望被记得的电影。在1942年，卓别林重新发行有声效、配乐和旁白的版本，并在第15届奥斯卡金像奖获得2项提名。在1958年世界博览会的国际电影投票中，电影仅次于《波特金号战舰》，获得第2名。1992年，电影因“在文化上、历史上或美学上具重要意义”，被选入美国国会图书馆典藏。在2021年，原版因为已发行95年而进入美国公有领域。The Gold Rush is a 1925 American silent comedy film written, produced, and directed by Charlie Chaplin. The film also stars Chaplin in his Little Tramp persona, Georgia Hale, Mack Swain, Tom Murray, Henry Bergman and Malcolm Waite. Chaplin drew inspiration from photographs of the Klondike Gold Rush as well as from the story of the Donner Party who, when snowbound in the Sierra Nevada, were driven to cannibalism or eating leather from their shoes. Chaplin, who believed tragedies and comedies were not far from each other, decided to combine these stories of deprivation and horror in comedy. He decided that his famous rogue figure should become a gold-digger who joins a brave optimist determined to face all the pitfalls associated with the search for gold, such as sickness, hunger, cold, loneliness or the possibility that he may at any time be attacked by a grizzly. The film features scenes like Chaplin cooking and eating his shoe, or how his starving friend Big Jim sees him as a chicken. The Gold Rush was critically acclaimed upon its release, and continues to be one of Chaplin's most celebrated works; Chaplin himself cited it several times as the film for which he most wanted to be remembered. In 1942, Chaplin re-released a version with sound effects, music, and narration, which received Academy Award nominations for Best Music Score and Best Sound Recording. In 1958, the film was voted number 2 on the prestigious Brussels 12 list at the 1958 World Expo, by a margin of only five votes behind Battleship Potemkin. In 1992, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". In 1953, the original 1925 version of the film entered the public domain in the United States because the claimants did not renew its copyright registration in the 28th year after publication.
