The greatness of Chaplin is beyond doubt. Because the comedies of the 1930s and 1940s can still make people laugh. Funny but not vulgar, funny but not lowly. He was born a funny clown, with a short stature and an exaggerated appearance, but he is indeed a clown with extraordinary talents. He was born a small person, so in his works, he started to criticize the rational reality of the society from the perspective of the small person.
The sculpture that appears at the beginning of the film is a symbol of power and money. Born in that era, although he is a small person, he knows how to despise them and the desire for power that people around the world are chasing.
He is kind, he would rather go to be a boxer and go to jail for a girl who doesn't know each other. In the end, after the girl regained her sight, we could witness a great sadness. This is a grand tragedy, but it is based on the body of a gorgeous comedy. After the girl regained her eyesight, she began to be moved by Gao Fushuai. She took it for granted that the Gao Fushuai who asked her to order flowers was the one who really helped him. Maybe that handsome man is not the one who helped him, but the man who helped him must be another handsome man.
When I saw that, in the end, he held the flower without abandoning it, and then smirked at her, I think she must be a little disappointed in her heart. After all, what she imagined in her mind was not him in reality, he was not tall, handsome, or rich in reality. When her eyes were not healed, she said, "He is not just a rich man", and when her eyes are healed, would she still say such words, at the end, a smile, Leave all imagination to us.
When she can finally witness the light of this city, can she still feel the light of a person's heart?
