There is only one actor who appears in the three most profitable films of all time, and it is Zoe Saldaña, which makes several metrics one of the greatest actors in the world.
And it is not as if she was only doing blockbusters like Avengers And Avatareither. She won several of the best prices in industry, including a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and an Oscar. On paper, few performers (if applicable) approach it.
During his trip to Movie Peak, Saldaña shared the trek with Christian Bale, Tom Hanks and Glenn Close, was directed by James Cameron, James Gunn and Steven Spielberg, and made countless other waterfalls that we can only dream. She has a glimpse of the world of the film that few others have, which is why her opinion is so precious.
As part of an interview with Rotten tomatoesThe actor of Gamora was invited to appoint five of his favorite films, where, in parallel with the selection of the classics of the 1980s as GOONIES And The terminatorSaldaña also revealed her love for a much older film: the silent masterpiece of Charlie Chaplin in 1921, The kid.
“It is a very emotional and melodramatic subject, and only someone like Charlie Chaplin was able to make him whimsical and funny, but also so sincere and sincere,” she explained, gushing: “I have the impression that he would not have succeeded, except during his years in Vaudeville. […] The fact that he came from nothing. He entered an empire with talent. He had nothing and he had nothing to lose, so he gave everything. »»
The kid Starts with the famous character of Tramp de Chaplin who saves an abandoned baby of two thieves, whom he raises like his, entering various scratches of classic silent film fashion. In addition to being very funny, the film also strikes all the good emotional notes. It ends with the boy and his biological mother meeting and then accepting the tramp in their family, which had to let the public cry in their seats.
Not only was The kid A huge success for Chaplin as a interpreter, but also as a creative force. It was the first feature film that the Moustachioed star would make. He ran to a total of 68 minutes, which still sounds on the short side, but was practically Gone with the wind According to day standards. He followed it a year later with A woman from ParisHis first direction in which he did not play. City lights,, Modern weatherAnd The large dictator.
Now largely considered not only one of the best films in Chaplin, but one of the best films of all time, The kid is still studied today as a mastery by transmitting emotions without words. Saldaña is absolutely perfect in her evaluation of the film, which always has a heavy punch more than 100 years after having struck without words.
