Who is the meanest person?

"The last laugh" was translated into "The Lowest Man". Maybe the Chinese translation was too direct this time, but I like this name more. , I didn't expect a silent film from the 1920s to have such a tearjerker effect, who is the meanest person in this world? Of course poor people, but poor people also have self-esteem, and poor people also have vanity. When the poor lost a decent job and turned into a toilet cleaner, even poor people like him looked down on him and turned to him. It's a mischievous mockery. The psychology of most poor people is far more complicated than that of the rich. The poor behave very modestly in front of the rich. However, deep down in the heart of the poor, the poor hate the rich, but the poor are poor after all. People can rely on the power of money to oppress the poor. Here, money is a huge gulf that builds up the difference in the lower ranks. The old man in the movie has always been proud of his imposing doorman uniform, which earned him the respect of those living in the slums like him, but when someone took his place, he had to be All self-respect and glory was taken off when he took off that uniform, so he sneaked into the hotel at night and stole the uniform. Putting on that uniform and attending his daughter's wedding successfully, however, the secret will eventually be revealed. Everyone knows that he is just a toilet cleaner, and almost everyone comes with a joke attitude. Laughing at him, even his own daughter felt ashamed of her father. A lonely old man, a poor man who just wanted to earn a little respect, just waited for his death in the hotel toilet day after day. The story suddenly took a turn here. A millionaire suddenly died suddenly in the hotel toilet. He was dying. The previous will stated that whoever died in his arms, his million-dollar wealth belonged to whoever owned it, so the old man who guarded the toilet picked up a big bargain in vain, and the money gave him respect and a new life again. In the hotel, the people who used to serve him are now turning to serve him, and it is obvious that he is respected by everyone now. The movie seemed to be a comedy at the end, and my tears were shut down, but I still felt uncomfortable in my heart. Am I being too realistic? No, the last 30 minutes is just another Ah Q-style masturbation written by Lu Xun. The fate of the old man who was cast aside as a toilet guard is doomed to be a tragedy. The world is so cruel. Wealth seems to measure everything. Don't be a poor man. Because at that time you will not only have no wealth, but more importantly, you will become the most humble person.
