At the beginning, a large part of it made me want to sleep, and then I felt inexplicably wanting to laugh. And it’s best to watch it with your companions. You want to laugh after watching the handrails in the car when you see it on the subway. The most powerful thing about this film is its prophetic nature. The living conditions between people are so realistically photographed. When you first entered the city, you are curious about high-rise buildings and orderly urban behavior. The vanity and indifference of urban people are vividly displayed. The architecture of the entire scene was completed in the studio. These It is enough to amaze the audience, as well as Chaplin's humor and dialogue without plot. From the perspective of a bystander, the director interprets the advanced urban architecture and the alienation of people's hearts, and the coexisting contradictions. Maybe he wants to tell people that something is obtained. Something will be lost, whether people are progressing or going backwards, who knows?
