    That last conversation with the priest reminded me of Camus' "The Outsider," a bold challenge and accountability to the world. Although compared to the first half, it seems a bit more straightforward, but the question of "the one who steals the hook kills the one who steals the country" is still...

    Small sins and big sins, why do you have to judge a small sin? Is my sin greater than those arms dealers who indirectly killed tens of thousands of people? When arresting people, those who hold kitchen knives, not those who are instructed to pick up kitchen knives. As soon as you read a book, you can understand that people in the system are deeply ingrained and have their own set of principles and standards set by the law. As long as you take these standards as your principles of doing things,...

    8.0/10 After years of silence due to political reasons, Chaplin suddenly threw this classic satire of the "post-silent era" into the social vortex after World War II like a blockbuster. While the audience is fascinated by the director's ability to design scenes for space and body to create comic effects, they will also notice Chaplin's deliberate and deliberate destruction of the classic screen image of "Charlie" in this film. In this film, Mr. Verdu, the killer played by the director himself,...

    A man who cared about small animals and was forced by the Great Depression to kill his wife and lovers for profit. This is a relatively late work by Master Chaplin, a sound film. When watching this movie, you must pay attention to the background written in the introduction. This is a work that came into being. Artists always fight back, stretch out and shout in their own...

    @新光影艺园. The sermon at the end is a bit long, and I prefer to end it right after the main character is arrested, giving it an O. Henry-esque...

    Surprisingly, it's pretty good-looking. In fact, after a look around, I found that the flower seller is the best looking woman in the whole film. That Annabella is really...

    A master is a master, and a master is still a master without the silent film. Although it is a story of serial murders, it reflects the devastation of war on people's lives all the...

Monsieur Verdoux quotes

  • The Girl: That isn't love.

    Henri Verdoux: What is love?

    The Girl: Giving, sacrificing. The same thing a mother feels for her child.

    Henri Verdoux: Did you love that way?

    The Girl: Yes.

    Henri Verdoux: Whom?

    The Girl: My husband.

    Henri Verdoux: [stunned] You're married?

    The Girl: I was. He died while I was in jail.

    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.
