The story of "City Lights" is absurd and ordinary, and Chaplin's tramp continues to live in comical form, making witty jokes. On his way, he met a blind flower girl, and he had a crush on him, and he always wanted to do something for her. One day, he rescued a rich man who was trying to jump into the river. The rich man who was in a state of drowsiness had a drink with him. After spending a lot of time, he also gave his car and some money to the homeless man. The homeless used this small fortune to spend a short happy time with the flower girl. He wanted to heal the eyes of his sweetheart. He didn't want to return to God. When the flower girl's rent expires, she faces a difficult situation. So, the homeless man went out of his way to try to raise money for the flower girl in various ways, and even he who had thin arms and legs would go to the boxing ring to fight. The story that has progressed here has always been a steady progression of joy. Although there are adventures and accidents, the tramp always leads a calm and optimistic life, silently making the flower girl happy and working hard for her. Although the vagabond does his best for the flower girl, he always presents in a low-key and selfless manner, such as pulling the wool for her. Even if the flower girl mistakenly wraps all his sweaters outside, he doesn't say a word. , this comedy scene also naturally presents his kind nature. I've seen too many fanatical films expressing love, but this light yet intrinsically strong love in this film makes people feel more warm, not the kind of hysterical opening mouth and shouting "XX, I can't live without you. "The love of the show component can be compared.
