This is destined to be a movie that will not be noticed by many people. Mr. Verdoux, the protagonist of the movie, even from any aspect, it is difficult to find a trace of light in him. This can also be seen in the dialogue between him and the pastor at the end of the movie. He is just a ray of grievances in the great age, a ray of microcosm. A person who kills one person is called a criminal, and a person who kills 1 million people is called a hero. In the era when Chaplin lived, this was not a naked irony of the Second World War. Economic crisis, world wars, Nazism, anti-Semitism, this movie has hit the pain points of the people of the world, kindness and beauty no longer exist in this era, extravagant life, corrupt society has become the main theme of the era. The extremely clever people become criminals, the rich are entrapped by others at the same time they entrap others, and the poor are useless and vulnerable to prison. There is a thick black cloud covering this economically depressed society, and a thick black cloud covering this economically depressed society. Because of such a society, "Mr. Verdoux" turned out to be like a fish in water. His own evaluation of himself is very correct, he is not a representative of this era, and he is not qualified to be a representative of this era. He is nothing but a sad clown in this era, and what he has done is nothing but an absurd comedy in this era.
"Mr. Verdoux" was not reconciled with God until the end, but she always believed that her soul belonged to God and his behavior was evil, but his heart was still kind, and he still hid the brilliance of kindness. In the court, he told the jury and the public that he had left a fire for the world. In fact, what he left was not just alive, but a light and a darkness. Guangming is the girl he saved from a beggar to a rich man. He will continue to live in this world with his kindness. Darkness is the greed in people's hearts. Mr. Verdoux was sent to the guillotine, Mr. Verdoux was still not sent to the guillotine. Everyone may be Mr. Verdoux. If this era does not change, then "Mr. Verdoux" will still exist.
Starting from "The Great Dictator", Chaplin's films have gradually evolved from a comedy to a tragedy with more profound philosophical implications. He also gradually completed the process of transforming himself from an actor to a master, which is why his films still exude brilliance a hundred years later.
