"City Lights" Chaplin's story is very warm, the old movies of the 1930s are still closer to the dramatic way, and the shots are more still shots, but it is this dramatic performance that makes the characters more attractive. This is Chaplin's last silent film, after all, at that time, there have been sound films for 27 years. Unlike the intuition of sound movies, his mime performances deeply moved me. There are three main characters, one rich man. His characteristic is that as long as he is drunk, he wants to commit suicide, and when he wants to commit suicide, the tramp played by Chaplin appeared and rescued him. The two of them became limited to alcohol. drunk friends. Because this is a person who turns his face and doesn't recognize people when he wakes up, and also lays the groundwork for the future homeless to go to prison. At the same time, it also represents that the people who have money and money, the surface happiness and secret pain in the society at that time, represent the darkness in most cities. And the fact that only half-dreaming and half-awake can come into contact with the light makes people sigh that he is the tragic figure. Tramp A kind-hearted tramp who is destitute, but still wants to help a blind flower girl who is weaker than himself. There are too few such people in society. He represents the bright side of human nature, the light of the city. What impressed me most about the blind girl was her charming eyes, the beautiful soft light hit her, she looked so pure and holy, but such a beautiful woman lost her eyesight. Nothing more than a tragic figure. But she got the help of the homeless, solved the embarrassment of no money, and cured her eyes. She had been waiting for the homeless man, but she did not know that the homeless man was a poor man. The good news is that this girl is a girl who cherishes encounters and gratitude, and has not changed her mind from beginning to end. This is also a necessary factor for a happy ending. The tramp has less evaluation because I think this movie is more about him saving others, as far as he is concerned he is a dedicated character, the color of tragedy For such a person full of light, it can be said Hardly, because he never felt like he was living in tragedy. As he exhorted the rich, the birds of tomorrow still sing, and there is still hope. The cruelty of society and the warmth of human nature make up this film, which will warm people's hearts, and still believe that there is warmth between the cold.
