Decades later, still as good as today's comedy

I don't want to watch movies from before 1999 because seeing the previous picture quality reminds me of the old days. I have heard many people say that when they want to go back to the feudal period, they want to experience the pride and righteousness, a bowl of wine and a mouthful of meat, or three wives and four concubines. I think it sounds good to go back to the past, but what do you do at night, only various novels, night markets, fireworks places can provide entertainment, and the best thing is food. Although the fast pace of modern times is annoying, and entertainment activities are basically the same, but the computer can play ten, and entertainment kills everything. Of course, I also don't like the future in the movie. The tones are always very single, either white or yellow, as if their world has never had a designer.
In short, because Chaplin's name has been known for a long time, let's take a look. Movies from decades ago were still comedies, so the plot is very simple, I think it's good, and you don't need to think too much. It's just that the jokes in it are a bit outdated now. There are many places where you can't laugh, and some of the jokes are repeated several times, such as overturning other people's soup, but the speed of the assembly line is very funny, haha.
I don't know how to evaluate a movie that is so old. It's not very fair to use various shooting techniques, editing and other standards to get it, so let's just look at the rating summary.


Overall rating: 3.5/5.0 (it tells about a Happiness is mixed with bitter stories)
Entertainment Index: 2.8/5.0 (Some of the jokes are outdated, and the development of the later story is a bit uncomfortable, but overall it is quite happy)
Aftertaste Index: 2.5/5.0 (Impression The most profound thing is the love story between the heroine and them. I don't remember the funny part after laughing.)
Box office performance: I don't know what the concept of 1.5 million in 1936 was, anyway... I made so many machines at that time, With so much money, Wikipedia shows that the final box office was only 1.4 million, which is difficult to study. If it is true, at a time when entertainment means were poor, I don’t know where people were dissatisfied. Maybe watching movies was a luxury at that time?


That automatic food feeder is so funny, even now it looks very high-tech. The most laughable part of the whole film is the repairman's clothes and pocket watch.
Although it is a black and white movie, it can't hide the amazingness of the heroine. I just don't know why I sent the two younger sisters to the juvenile detention center, but I have to run away. I am sorry that they lost their father and sister. Will they grow up? Resentment
really likes this kind of love in the play. It has no basis, but it does not have any material conditions. It is a sincere love for each other. In modern times, this is probably just a fantasy. After all, they don’t have to be restricted by their families. They also have
to despise Hong Kong’s Hong Kong and Taiwan. Other people’s movies from decades ago have 720P, but their TV series from more than ten years ago only had VCD paintings. Quality, what a fool. . .
