This film fully demonstrates Chaplin’s typical style, especially his extraordinary skills in handling visual images and pantomimes, like the classic "cooking boots" scenes, as well as "Little Bread Dance", "Dancing with Dogs", and "Others" Fighting while the gun is always pointing at oneself", "the cliff cabin is dangerously dangerous", etc., have become the objects of reference and imitation for later generations. The film combines funny narrative, tragic color, and lyrical charm in an ingenious and balanced combination, making it a masterpiece of Chaplin's mature period. Subsequent works have added a lot of social criticism, but it is not as simple and optimistic as this film directly focuses on small people. For example, this film arranges homeless man Charlie to become both a rich man and a beauty. This kind of happy ending is not available in his future works. This film is Chaplin's favorite work and one of his most interesting works. It ranks in the forefront of many world-wide film history ten best works.

Look at the 72-minute post-dubbing and subtitled version. After five minutes of post-production, which was really unbearable, I turned off the audio and blocked the subtitles before this film began to play its due charm. The comic completely surpassed the modern era, and once again proved that a good movie is completely possible. Can stand the test of time. Four and a half stars, definitely look for the opportunity to take a look at the 95-minute original version without any post-production.
