We owe the ending a five star

Some commented that the film was only given three and a half stars due to the drag from the ending. Try to deduce, what kind of ending can get five stars?
1. The case of stealing the uniform was reported by the bail, and he committed suicide in despair, but the sun rose as usual in the slum.
Wake up, it doesn't fit with the play's witty and satirical style, and it doesn't fit with the form of a silent film, this assumption doesn't hold.
2. The restroom serves the guests conscientiously, and was affirmed by the manager for its unscrupulous performance in collecting gold, and returned to the welcome post.
Physical aging is an objective fact, layoffs are only a matter of time, and the plot is meaningless after returning.
3. Find another way out after resigning, and return to hotels and slums with a successful career.
Are you telling a joke? There is only one Chu Shijian in the world, not to mention that the previous plot has no relevant skills and talents to pave the way.
4. Why is it the most appropriate to receive an inheritance? The vast majority of poor people (myself), attitude towards wealth: get rich overnight.
In daily life, I envy those people who bought a lottery ticket and won huge prizes, and then changed their fate and walked to the top of their lives.
The director's ingeniousness makes thousands of despicable people realize their dreams in the movie. For the mentality of the poor, it is deeply portrayed.

Life is far more cruel than movies, everyone is the most humble person, the difference is that they are enslaved by different desires.
We watch our own stories in other people's movies. Feeling sad and happy, but not aware of his own destiny.

    After reading the comments of a certain man, I found that the depth of field and movement are indeed very prominent; I am used to seeing the artificial endings of these films nowadays, the ending of this film is really very comfortable.

    It is a prominent tragedy in Germany, and its full meaning can only be understood in a country where uniforms are king. It is undoubtedly a film with a strong sympathy for the living conditions of the lower-class employees of society, but also a the class symbols symbolized by their clothing), but all the criticism, at the unrealistic Chaplin-style banquet at the end, turns to criticism of the unimaginative lives of the poor, to whom money is merely In order to be the bargaining chip of its own opposite, it is difficult to provide space for 'alternative imagination' (such as class struggle and utopian socialism). In this sense, Murnau was a filmmaker with full artistic and realistic consciousness, and his sympathy did not lead to the praise of the poor.
