This is Chaplin's iconic laugh with tears.
At the end of the film, the flower girl who already owns a flower shop finds out that the tramp is the rich man she used to think of, and she has given the world a better place. She didn't dislike him, and she didn't lose control because of the missing gap.
do you know? The tramp himself stayed there, and no one in the world dared to guarantee that this girl would give such a noble response.
Peace and prosperity. When the statue was unveiled, Charles curled up in the embrace of his motherhood, how lovely it was.
The homeless man accidentally saved the life of the millionaire, and since then he has capital, a capital he had never obtained before. The millionaire forgets the tramp when he wakes up; the tramp remembers his friend after drinking. This description is dramatic and realistic.
One day, Charles was watching a boxing match in LA. The farm girl Virginia Cherrill was sitting beside him, so Charles invited her to play the role of a blind flower girl.
Actually, we see the heroines in Charles movies, they are all similar, a woman in Paris, stage career, city lights... poignant, and there is always a touch of sadness in the eyes. The clown and tramp played by Charles happened to meet them and fell in love with them, their humble identities, or shallow or noble love.
Charles is good at portraying the underprivileged, he uses a comedy way to interpret it, making the audience laugh when they laugh.
When Oscar invited Chaplin back to the United States to accept the award, he expressed his concern to his wife that the times have changed, will everyone still like his movies?
In fact, those black and white light and shadow images still make people laugh and then cry. Until today.
