At the beginning, the sheep ran like people going up the stairs. The music was very rhythmic. After changing shifts, they still went to work. After a while, they slowed down. When using it, the absurd speed of the music was turned up again and again, which drove the workers crazy. Many lines were expressed in subtitles. At this time, the importance of the background music was highlighted. He covered the girl who stole bread, and was later arrested by the police. Take it away and give the girl a close-up. Most of the shots are medium and close-up shots, highlighting the body movements of the characters. A policeman leaves. He is very good at seizing the opportunity to ride the rollers. The rhythm of the background music is also accelerated. Trying to get back to prison, he doesn't want to be squeezed by capitalists anymore. Life is very hard, but you have to be happy all the time

    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!

    In fact, four stars are given to the scenes of the factory. This film feels that Chaplin's late sound film has a great impact on his own thoughts. The genius ideas in the sketches are indeed a little lacking, and one star is given to the so-called ending. The assertion that tragedy is more contagious than comedy is educated by facts in this film
