    An extremely good-looking movie, one of Chaplin's few sound movies, the plot is good-looking and the rhythm is relaxed. It deduces the criminal experience of a serious bigamy who married more than 10 women respectively, but the expression is very comedy and highly entertaining. It's a film not to be...

    Chaplin's acting skills are actually very superb and three-dimensional, which is enough to support him to leap into the sound film era with ease, but I think he can't let go of himself in the silent film era. In the surging sound era, he seems to be a little confused. , maybe he's really...

    Perfect movie, but I'm getting more and more disgusted with Chaplin's old love accusing society...

    I need to revisit the conversation between Mr. Verdoux and the girl from time to time. Ironically, the girl who once loved the disabled soldier ended up marrying an arms dealer, one of those whom Mr. Verdoux denounced at the end of the...

    With vague and low emotions and pessimism and disappointment not revealed, with one episode and dramatic suspense, with ingenious time and space compression and the continuous reproduction of the train wheels that mark the passing of time, the film has shaped Verdue's wisdom but A characterless, cruel and deceitful screen image. Taking the case of Landrue's wife killing in France, he criticized some aspects of American social...

    This film vividly reflects the two sides of human nature. The film does not show any bloody details of the protagonist's murder, and the only segment that describes the details of the murder is also humorous. Using a lot of contrasting plots, as long as the audience pays attention to these contrasting details, will eventually sympathize with the protagonist, which is very...

    The film ends with a philosophical reflection and critique, which can be seen as Chaplin's reflection on the impact of war and the development of social production on human beings. In terms of character, Verdue's process of being recognized by the audience is complicated. He is a liar and a murderer, but he is Chaplin, and the audience has a closeness to the character itself. For this reason, Chaplin deliberately made Verdue more complicated, feeding cats and awakening in front of prison girls,...

    I didn't want to see him wearing a gang and revealing his stuff until later. . . Why? ! Is it Stockholm Syndrome? ! I never thought that the master of comedy, who made me laugh at the thought of it, dedicated such a strange film, and the performance is not inferior to any other...

    Henri Verdoux: [relieved] I see.

  • Henri Verdoux: [quizzing The Girl on her marriage] Tell me about him.

    The Girl: That's a long story. He was wounded in the war. A hopeless invalid.

    Henri Verdoux: An invalid?

    The Girl: That's why I loved him. He needed me, depended on me. He was like a child. But he was more than a child to me. He was a religion, my very breath. I'd have killed for him. No, love is something very real and deep. I know that. However...

    [reaches for the glass of wine]

    Henri Verdoux: Pardon me, I believe there's a little cork in that wine.
