What is described in the film review is the epitome of society. The only thing in the whole film does not describe the cruelty of the real society and the disgust of human nature. It is because of the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the little people that City Lights shows the existence of this city. , only the "little people" can do it, in this city only the crappy tramp persists, he is an unquenchable light in this dark city, although it is a "silent work", it is mainly for the characters. The expression is almost perfect. Perhaps the biggest advantage of this film is that it is "silent". Although it is poor and poor, it still maintains a kind and gentle heart.

At night, street lights, car lights, lights in high-rise buildings - these "city lights" dispel the darkness for people. Without these "city lights", at night, people in the city can only be with the darkness like a blind woman. The tramp is the "city light" of the blind woman. The tramp not only "drives away" the darkness for the blind woman physically, but also drives away the darkness spiritually. The reality may not be so beautiful, as long as you work hard, there is always something worth looking forward to.

    2013.5.31 Rewatch on duty. The strong stage play left over from the early films, and Chaplin's unique exaggerated performance style, can even see the shadow of Stephen Chow more than 50 years later. In terms of the plot, it turned out to be a love story, and it should be called love beneath the city lights. :)

    Very disappointed, even without any deliberately provocative lines and editing the background music, he was still moved by the eyes and smiles when the two met again. He looked at her, like the lights of the city all lit up with a bang. Chaplin's greatest compassion is that no matter how poor the little people in the story are, those best things will never leave, always rooted in the deepest part of the heart, such as kindness, such as love.
