The biggest difference between Chaplin and his contemporaries (Keaton, Lloyd) is that his homeless character's presentation of the fate of people at the bottom of society comes from his poor childhood life, which is quite real and powerful, and his film appeared in the right time. The value of industrialized production, many farmers lost their land at the same time, his success lies in being really close to the audience. This film is its best work, bundled in a stick comedy is a sneer and a...

The film technology is not so fancy, but the feeling it brings to us is much purer. It makes us laugh unrestrainedly and weep happily. Chaplin has the most rare wisdom in life, not only admitting the difficulty and complexity of the world, but also able to Feeling the beauty of the world, loving this world sincerely, and having such a foundation, coupled with Chaplin's superb visual effects and narrative skills, will give birth to a classic.
