Chaplin Red Flagged (#29)

In this memorable scene, he picks up a red warning flag that has fallen off the back of a wagon, and finds himself inadvertantly at the forefront of a revolutionalry riot. Red has been the color of revolution since the bloody Reign of Terror.

Think Warren Beatty in  Reds. I'd like give you six other Beatty movies advertised with red,  but let's not be entirely trivial. I will also spare a mini lecture on revolutionary imagery.  (Though Lenin was an early Taurus, he had a strong dose of Aries. Hitler was also born on this dangerous cusp  coming up soon.) 

Aries pairings in movies are fun: Beatty and Julie Christie, McQueen and Ali McGraw (especially when they both spontaneously jump into the pond after he's released from prison, oh my!), Steven Seagal and Kelly LeBrock already mentioned,  Crawford and Davis.

We could talk as long as we like about the Aries influence in Charlie Chaplin, the prototype of the 20c. Subject. Notice his perpetual parody of Aries masculinity. Soldier, cop, boxer, Casanova, caveman, strongman, hero.
