    Although not Chaplin's last work, this one can almost be regarded as a complete autobiography of a great comedian, an elegy for the end of the era of silent film giants. The historical significance is higher than the plot of the film itself, and the plot is indeed a little indulged in didactic dialogue, which takes a long time. Buster Keaton and Chaplin worked together for the first time in a feature film (in fact, they appeared together in a documentary short film in 1922), but Keaton's life...

    "It's a painful thing to be funny, and it's even worse when it's no longer funny" - the film itself is only worth two stars, and the master can only be exhausted when he is old. It hurts to see: I'd rather Keaton and Chaplin stand apart and be proud of each other, than see him in a dejected night, slumped under Zhuo's hands, half of his face cut off by the camera, and half a cup of the leftovers left in the cold. Saying two half-salted, dispensable lines, also euphemistically called...

    The Keaton and Chaplin battle may never be concluded, but one thing I can be sure of: the great Keaton has only one, and the great Chaplin has two. One is the morning sun of the first birth, and the other is the sunset of winter. In order to imitate the blood-red sunset, Robert Downey Jr. has been a frustrated actor for more than ten years. But I think he has no regrets, because no one will regret having loved pure...

    9. In the 1950s, both Chaplin and Keaton had been out of sight for more than ten or twenty years. I finally heard Keaton's voice. What moved me the most was not Chaplin, but the cold-faced comedian who made a cameo appearance. Keaton, who had never seen a sad face in the film before, has now been reduced to a cameo...

Limelight quotes

  • Calvero: I want to forget the public.

    Terry: Never. You love them too much.

    Calvero: I'm not so sure. Maybe I love them, but I don't admire them.

    Terry: I think you do.

    Calvero: As individuals, yes. There's greatness in everyone. But as a crowd, they're like a monster without a head that never knows which way it's going to turn. It can be prodded in any direction.

  • Calvero: What did you do?

    Terry: I just ran and wept. Ran and wept.

    Calvero: Then what happened?

    Terry: I tried to forget.
