During the sound period, Chaplin's silent feature films also entered the stage of social criticism - the swing of the rich from drunk to sober is the turbulence of the oppression of the bottom laborers. The class differences of the Great Depression, the key to the fate of the homeless, the light of an inherently evil city. Too many classic passages: saving the rich in exchange for falling into the water, lighting cigarettes and eating noodles at the dance, classic boxing matches. Several moving shots can be noticed, as well as the use of light and shadow in the rich home. "Chaplin's shot captures a close-up of the two in tension. The girl is puzzled, then moved, the homeless hesitant but serenely content. At the end his face is a mixture of joy and fear, she can see now, he I've been waiting for her to return to the light, but now she can still love him when she sees it? That precious close-up makes us forget Chaplin's vaudeville skills. He saw imitable objects in the street in his childhood. With the grace of Max Lind and the ragged charm of Mabel Normand, that moment was Chaplin himself, who combined the joy and absurdity of life.—A Brief History of Flashback Cinema (illustrated p. 6th edition) "P35"

I don't know if the situation is not right when watching the movie, or the personal condition is not good, and I don't feel much after watching it.
