Chaplin's unparalleled influence in the silent film era stemmed from his thinking and innovation in movies. He added reflections on the current society and analysis of love in comedy movies, so as to truly touch the human senses paralyzed by the times. resonate. Really classic.
There are amazing love lines in "City Lights", especially the first acquaintance with the blind girl, the subsequent madness for love, and the final reunion. The whole story has a clear structure as a love story, and the relationship between the two is love. The spirit of desperation also makes people cry. Although silent films do not have the blessing of language, the language of love is universal in the process of all human beings! Addicting and addicting!
Of course, Chaplin's films will always contain satire and reflection on society, the two faces of the rich before and after drunkenness, the ruthless exploitation of the underprivileged by society, the only money theory in society, etc. It is worth reflecting on. But even in this indifferent and ruthless society, there will always be a little love that can touch people's hearts and tell us that life is still beautiful. This is what Chaplin hopes to tell us through the film.
We seem to be living in a dirty world, but the real world is still beautiful, people live in this world, there is infinite hope for each tomorrow, and there are still many beautiful things worthy of our lifelong pursuit...
