After watching "City Lights" I saw Chaplin's movie for the first time, and I was touched. Among the comedy movies I have seen, this is the first good-looking movie. It turns out that under the conditions of 90 years ago, people can tell such a good story that makes people laugh and resonate, and there is no need for words. The government has the money to build statues in the municipal square, but it has no relief for the homeless and disabled near the square. The money of the local tyrant friend who only remembered the life-saving grace when he was drunk, and the little white flower of the blind girl who sold flowers, are the two lines of the whole story. Is City Lights Money? Or a flower? The hypocrisy of rich people and the purity of blind children are not necessarily equal to money and flowers. Blind children who sell flowers also need money to treat their eyes. Will she be blinded by the light when she sees it again? Is City Lights a spirit of struggle and optimism? Even if the down-to-earth work is fruitless, the boxing fails to make quick money, and he is mistakenly imprisoned as a thief, Chaplin will still make money for the rent and treatment of his blind children; The mother-in-law opened a shop together, and the blind child insisted on selling flowers to support the family. At the end, the flower girl sees light again. Every time she hears the sound of the car door closing and sees the gentleman, she thinks it is the benefactor she used to be. She sees the ragged Chaplin passing by, but she never thinks that he is the "gentleman" she used to be. When you reach out and touch it, you suddenly understand the truth. Perhaps the city light is not a visible flashy appearance, but a warm feeling hidden between people. ps chaplin this is the most unpretentious coy
