Although Chaplin is a film master and comedian ^^ Maybe because he had a acquaintance with the beloved Premier Zhou in Geneva, I had the idea of watching his films. But when it comes to this movie, the main reason I want to watch it is not because of Chaplin, but because of Orson Welles. Searching for Orson Welles' information on IMDB, I suddenly found that he wrote the story script of this movie, and then provided it to Chaplin and said~ He also has a good friendship with Chaplin~ I have seen them , and a photo of Chaplin's wife together. Later, I bought a DVD from the Guangzhou Book Center, but I never watched it.

Reporter: You'll have to admit, crime doesn't pay, does it?
Henri Verdoux: No, sir. Not in a small way.
Reporter: What do you mean?
Henri Verdoux: To be successful in anything, one must be well-organized.
Reporter: You're not leaving the world with that cynical remark?
Henri Verdoux: To be idealistic in this moment would be incongruous, don't you think?
Reporter: What's all this talk about good and evil?
Henri Verdoux: Arbitrary forces, my good fellow. Too much of either will destroy us all.
Reporter: We can never have too much good in the world.
Henri Verdoux: Trouble is, we've never had enough. We don't know.
Reporter: Listen, Verdoux, I've been your friend all through the trial. Now, give me a break, a story with a moral to it! You, the tragic example of a life of crime.
Henri Verdoux: I don't see how anyone can be an example in these criminal times.

Henri Verdoux: It's the approach of death that terrifies.
The Girl: I suppose if the unborn knew of the approach of life, they'd be just as terrified.
