Chaplin's "City Lights" is one of my favorite movies. The film was released in 1931 and was named 11th in the "100 Classic Films in a Century" by the American Film Institute in 2007. In the film, Chaplin plays a tramp who meets and falls in love with a beautiful blind girl who sells flowers. He took care of her in every possible way. In order to heal her eyes and pay the rent arrears for her, he used his friendship with a millionaire who was drunk and woke up from time to time to "raise" medical expenses. After putting the money in the hands of the blind woman, he was wrongly convicted of robbery and went to jail. The last scene of the film is hailed as the greatest ending in film history. A homeless man out of prison walks aimlessly on the street, but he meets the heroine who has seen the light again and has opened a flower shop. He kept staring at his beloved girl, but shyly did not dare to talk to him. Out of sympathy, the girl gave him a bouquet of flowers and a coin. When her hand touched his, the girl stood blankly as if struck by lightning, the familiar feeling between her fingers made her realize something. After a while she asked: "Is that you?" He nodded, pointed his eyes with his fingers, and asked: "Can you see with your eyes?" The girl had mixed feelings, and she never let go of her hand. She finally found him who loved her, cared about her, and passed her warm hands in the dark.
