The short review is too long and forced to turn to the movie review

I'm really worried if it's the back of the forgotten little fellow who turned to a bystander while singing in the ballroom with a sad ending, and then quickly turned back to the ballroom to accompany the dance with cheerful rhythm music, obviously wanting to laugh, I really couldn't laugh, the corners of my mouth had to go up and down. There are several places where this kind of contradiction exists, the rhythm is cheerful and laughable, but it is actually sad and bitter. Knowing that he was teased by the girl he loves, he was so happy that he jumped all over the room, only to be embarrassed in front of her again, which was so sad. Does it confirm the sentence: the core of comedy is tragedy? However, Georgia is also a dancer with good intentions and a desire for true love. Seeing that the obviously poor little fellow specially arranged a house for her and attached a gift with her name written on it, those few candles that were about to burn out, plus It was these warm feelings that made her suddenly dissatisfied with the status quo, she shook off Jack's hand and slapped him, she didn't take the gift but turned and left. As a dancer, she cannot enjoy these warmth. (Doubtful, there should be more than this reason for her not accepting it) She was able to realize the impact of her lateness on the little fellow, so she "lowered her profile" and wrote to him to apologize, and finally met this seemingly The destitute "stowaways" still have to find ways to protect him. Can't help but remind me of Margaret in "La Traviata", but the ink points of the two works are not the same. After watching two movies and a few short films, isn't Charlie very good at playing these lowly, under-recognized (or even ridiculed) roles? Or is his eyes used to focusing on such little people? The beauty of human nature shines in them. The most impressive scenes, one is the bread dance, which is fun, and it can be seen that Charlie himself is actually quite handsome, but the problem is the makeup... One is that this man can eat shoes so elegantly... shoelaces Eating it as pasta is something I didn't expect. First, when Charlie saw Jack for the last time, in order to show his momentum and deterrence, he raised his cane and then went over to catch it. It was so handsome and powerful! read it twice! I can't learn it! Another is that when he walked out of the half-suspended wooden house, he was so frightened that he slid back into the wooden house against the door. Haha, he is also very cute, gentleman and cute, and the shy smile when facing the girl he loves is very cute.

After the happy ending, I felt unsatisfactory. People are really unsatisfactory.

One of the advantages of silent films is that people's attention seems to be more focused on the image itself that the director wants to express.

/

It's very real. It turned out that some widely circulated music came from here. (Eating leather shoes too?)

/

His eyes are beautiful (albeit in black and white), and his gaze is genuine and moving.

I really want to watch the original version of the mime, I think the mime is the most charming.

Chaplin's movies are rare for me to see a second time.

    It also shows the joys and sorrows of little people, and the bread dance is the highest! The final cliffhanger action scene was amazing hahaha! Big Jim is also a good person~ But he doesn't laugh and tear very often, and he still likes "City Lights" the most.

    Oops, the cross-cut on Christmas Eve is really wonderful, on the one hand, the girl is drinking and having fun, and on the other hand, it is the loss of her empty house waiting alone. What makes people feel most soft is that there are so many marginal characters under Chaplin's lens, homeless, low-level workers, suffering from poverty and pain, but they all have such a loving heart. A bread dance at a humble wooden house and a small dining table is not at all sloppy or shabby than a ballroom dance in a palace.
