Every movement and every expression of the mime master Chaplin is impeccable. He always plays some minor characters, and what he wants is naturally the original purpose of comedy: to make the audience laugh, but from the perspective of minor characters, he can also show the imprint of the larger environment and the ugliness of other people's hearts. It seems that it is just about a small person who went to pan for gold, and finally became a rich man and got love. But behind the laughter was the American Gold Rush, the greedy people in the Gold Rush. The uninterrupted soundtrack in the film is like watching an opera and reminds me of Tom and Jerry. This kind of laughter continued until the Christmas Eve when Georgia teased him, Chaplin slept alone on the table and dreamed of being with Georgia, which reminded me of a sentence: the core of comedy is tragedy.
