There is nothing better.
Ideals, glory, love, and a happy destination after ups and downs.
The elegant and sweet dream of falling in love starts with a secret hidden in the heart, but that is not enough.
"Unless it is me, familiar with the pulse of your life, let me get close to your soft heart, and let you see through my good and bad."
Thanks to the director for poking at the weakness that the audience expects to be poked. Although such a story has always existed and will be repeated in the future————There is a little shadow of Cinderella in love, and the relationship between sacrifice and salvation is like Beauty and the Beast———— The routine of an old story is so beautifully told in the silent black and white world, so that we can leave the fancy era of computer special effects and restore the most basic need of a simple audience to be moved. Look at the heroine's delicate eyebrows, look at her silently hugging her suit jacket, and watch the delicate tears flashing from the corners of her eyes in the movie theater. The foreshadowing of this love continued all the way, knowing that when she stopped George from hugging, I believe that many viewers were waiting for the screen to finally shed a tear.
Excellent actors, excellent bridge details, excellent background music, the narrative is coherent and neat, the rhythm is tight, the mood is elegant, the plot is classic and full of playful new ideas.
I really don't believe anyone would dislike this movie.

    A perfect tribute to the silent era, the best of the year! Several times in the film I couldn't help clapping my hands, and everyone's expressions and movements were in place. That dog is the biggest bright spot, and was stabbed in tears twice by it. In fact, the story is not new, but the emotional mobilization and rhythm are very precise, and the soundtrack is highly praised. In short, the silent films produced in the audio age make people feel grateful and nostalgic!
