Thoughts on Catching the Rat

Originally wanted to play three stars, one star for the mouse, the performance is true and classic. 1. Two brothers, one represents the greed of capital and the other represents blindness (stupidity) of capital. 2. The father of the two: represents the older generation of industrial capitalists. The two brothers didn't manage the factory well, but wanted to make money by auctioning houses (capital operation) (a manifestation of the profit-seeking nature of capital). Obviously separated from the industry, in the end it can only be the bubble burst (financial crisis?) The law of capitalism does not go into details 3. Regarding the mouse: I would prefer to call it a "ghost wandering in the house (European continent)" The film is very clear It expresses that the house is the mouse's home, and it is the owner of the house. The two brothers are the invaders. The mouse is clearly in line with the traditional American perception of red molecules. The rat in the country. Endanger national security Barabara. 4. Worker riots in the rope factory: The movie is like zombies, which not only reflects the arrogance of capitalists but also shows that they are just paper tigers. 5. Comedy is comedy after all. No matter how hard the process is, it still ends up with a great success. It seems to be ironic but nothing. This ending is a real point reduction. No matter how the brothers toss, they still repented (expecting the conscience of the capitalists to discover it?) operating the factory together and even win-win with mice (win-win has always been the mainstream idea advocated by modern Western society, representing social reforms in Western countries, and trade union management Etc.) To reconcile with the workers, the workers are still workers, the boss is still the boss, and the boss’s son must also be the boss, as if the class consolidation will not change. (Ah, this is probably the ideal country in the dreams of vested interests.)

6 In the end, a judgment was made against Chaplin's comedy intentions.
