I am where I am today and become a millionaire because I wear funny shoes. Is life really a pulp comedy?

The public are like children who easily get bored with their toys and throw them away like trash.

All my dreams and hopes are just to let my mother live a happy life, to buy my mother a lot of nice clothes, to take her to a quiet place in the country to recuperate, to let her do nothing but play with me.

I think the thing about who's smarter is actually overstated. It is easy for wise people to use intelligence as an excuse for lack of some important character, and to rely on superficial behavior in lieu of a diligent and prudent attitude to life. All my life I've been like a rocket, sputtering sparks, making noises, and falling silently. But Sidney has always been the backbone of the family, and whenever I've had a rough time, he'll always pull me up and keep me going. Of the two of us, he was the better one.

    #常看常新# It feels especially appropriate to review this film on another working weekend that has been suspended since the end of May. People are just a small screw in the industrial era, getting involved in the giant wheel of the times and trying to survive. Work hard to make money, work hard to have a real family. The ending is still very positive, and the most touching thing is the joy and sorrow of the little people who the audience can empathize with.

    The rhythm is compact, reversed, multi-factory gears, prison fighting, big ship launching, department store, roller skating, too many laughs! There is also a song and dance that I am very happy to watch! Although there is no decent house at the end of the film, I hope that the road ahead is not too warm and too healing! Think carefully How different are the times we live in and the modern times we can imagine and how industrial society is portrayed here? Charles Chaplin is a true visionary!
