This is the complexity of human nature. He is caring, believes in love, takes responsibility for his disabled lover, and has his own happy family. Therefore, there is a girl who is equally caring and responsible for her disabled lover. Empathy, thus giving up evil thoughts. But on the other hand, he regards killing and robbing money as a business, and is ruthless. The depression that swept the world made him lose everything and became disheartened. His evil deeds came to an abrupt end, and he threw himself into the net. In fact, he was killing himself, because a greater evil was brewing, far greater than his evil. The destructive power is great, sweeping everything, and even the wicked man has been washed away, and this even greater wicked man will be worshipped! This makes the film not only stop at the discussion of the complexity of human nature, the evil of human beings can be punished, but this society is committing crimes, who will punish?

    #CC#Chaplin's son once said that his father "would read Schopenhauer and Kant to cultivate his sentiments, but pure relaxation came from murder stories." This sentence sums up a "contradiction" well, just like Chaplin Lin said: "Life is mainly composed of contradictions and pain."

Chaplin bought the rights from Orson Welles and listed Welles on the credits. He didn't want to collaborate, but to monopolize the story. I thought in the commentary, Chabrol said that there was a scene where the dancer did not follow the dancer, but was fixed in place, and then advanced, and the person behind the dancer was finally frozen in the picture. "The two of them didn't dance (as close) as these two dancers did, but they could have or had the opportunity to do so. There's also another meaning, you can't say it's a fate, and I I don't know how to express it, this is a missed opportunity, time, and life, and after that point there is no going back."
