First, let's talk about the plot line. Very classic theme, but also very beautiful. Occasionally pushed the male protagonist to the side of the female protagonist, and a kind heart pushed the male protagonist to the female protagonist again and again. The male protagonist is very kind and the female protagonist is also very kind, and it is the two of them who have brought light to the city.
Let me talk about the heroine first, the heroine is blind, which makes me very sad. I just finished watching "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" the day before yesterday. Lieutenant General is a blind man. He said that he has been living in the dark. It's how a blind man can stay strong. When you are truly alone in the dark, there is no starlight, no moonlight, no color difference and no reflection, you will understand how helpless you are, that is fragile, that is broken, time and space are no longer meaningful to you, It's as if the world has become nothing, and the only thing you can do is imagine nothing, and since then you have lost the real, and living alone makes you tired. Terrible, really terrifying. So like every blind person, the heroine once hugged her knees alone, curled up in the dark, longing for someone with a torch to reach out to her, and she was lucky that the person with the torch found her, and Holding her hand, she blocked all the thorns with her body, and gave the heroine to the light, even though she was caught in the thorns.
In the end, the heroine regained her eyesight like a fairy tale, has her own flower shop, and is also waiting for the warrior. Undoubtedly, the heroine is kind, and she gave him alms when she didn't know the man was the tramp, but I was really flustered when I was waiting for the ending. I am afraid that the gentleman who buys flowers will deceive the heroine. I am afraid that the heroine will dislike the hero. I am afraid that, like other episodes I have seen, the heroine will change her mind and leave the hero alone. But I believe Chaplin likes a good ending because he changed the ending of Modern Times to a good ending. Sure enough, the heroine did not forget the touch of the male protagonist, did not forget the dedication of the male protagonist, and did not lose her innocence.
male lead. This is what I thought of when I saw the male protagonist comfort a rich man who wanted to commit suicide. The male protagonist is actually very smart. He wanders and he is clumsy. He often embarrassed but he is not stupid. He is optimistic, he has pursuits, he just knows that no matter how bad the moment is, no matter how badly he is beaten today, the sun will still rise tomorrow, you can feel it, feel the breath of life coming from tomorrow, then what else do I have? Reason to abandon tomorrow and tomorrow's dawn under the haze of today. The male protagonist is funny, but he is never funny. He will go to the boxing ring desperately for the blind girl and break free from the police; the male protagonist is kind, he never helps the blind girl because of his beauty, so he When she saw the newborn, she did not shout out who she was, but turned all her words into true happiness, or said that there were no words, but only happiness.
I don't know what the authors and experts think, but in my heart, I believe this is love. There are not so many empty promises, I will give you what I have, what I will win for you; what you do not plan, what we will work hard to face together. Become comrades-in-arms for each other, for each other and for themselves, against life and against fate, just like the Underwood couple in "House of Cards" is enough. (ps. Some behaviors are prohibited from imitating)
Finally, of course inevitable is the decay that blooms around the good. At the beginning of the film, in that speech, there was a murmur. They were self-righteous and said polite words to the public, sentence after sentence, but in fact they were empty promises, passing through their ears like a murmur and becoming a gust of wind.
And then, the rich man who runs through the whole film appeared. He has one set during the day and one set at night. Some people say that he may really not remember anything, but even so, when you see the same person who hugs you so many times in a row, don’t you have any curiosity at all, but let it be Filled with disgust? Don't you have a simple greeting, or is it because the pride of class has blinded you, blinded the eyes of the housekeeper, blinded the eyes of all the rich and even the middle class in the so-called society that is only measured by money ? Why is the male protagonist incompatible with almost everyone in the film, because he is embarrassed because he is poor? no. It is not money, but moral concepts that bring about such a difference. The result of this is the difference between rich and poor. This is because of the unique advance of thought and the background of the times. Get a monetary value that matches the idea itself in a society with no respect. And the rich are only those who adapt to the contempt of the society at that time and the backwardness of the wealth conferred by the era that they have gained without respect. If the era progresses, they will also plummet, and only at this time will they ironically remove their hypocritical appearance and reveal a A more hypocritical and pitiful appearance, begging for salvation? begging for money. If there is no progress in thinking, behavior will never change, just a new layer of skin.
