It's a comedy, but it's not meant to be funny. Chaplin said that life is a comedy from a distance and a tragedy from a close up. The film is interspersed with people's life, old age, sickness and death, and people's fear of the fact of old age in a cheerful atmosphere. These old people were all young, beautiful and dashing. They had a glorious time, and now they can only miss the moment when they could sing high notes and play trumpets in this world. Over time, the audience began to accuse them of not being as good as they used to be, but they forgot that time can take everything, including the audience themselves.
