"Seven Chances" is the third movie I watched today. I thought there would be states such as drowsiness and nausea, but I didn't expect the film to be very catchy from the beginning.
Jimmie Shannon's attempted lovemaking for several consecutive seasons gives the illusion that it looks like a literary film for the first 20 minutes. But the moment the testament of the hero's grandfather appears, the comedy factor of the film bursts out.
People in the whole room are laughing in different directions. A movie without lines can only move people by its exquisite plot, and the unconventional "burdens" one by one.
Not every film needs to be shocking and memorable after 90 minutes. After watching the life of a middle-class American in 1925 for more than 50 minutes, I laughed until my stomach was tangled. After more than 80 years, people still applaud on the spot. Show good, and only the classics of the classics can do.
Which films are rarely given five stars, Seven Chances is one of them.
