Jumping from the atomic energy issue to the McCarthy issue, the main line is quite chaotic, and the general direction is to ridicule the United States through outsiders. Secretly filming live broadcasts and inserting commercials has the feeling of Truman's...

The last black-and-white film directed by Chaplin is also the last film he starred in—Peugeot is the end of the Chaplin era. After experiencing the persecution of the McCarthy period in the United States, the works after the permission for free communication were cancelled, it can be seen that Chaplin himself criticized the American system, even spraying water on them with a playful and provocative comedy color, and of course, the current state of the film at the time.

In the second half, a...

4.5. America under McCarthyism. After the king walked out of the theater, he said, "It's more comfortable, it's less noisy." In the restaurant, musical instruments helped hinder the verbal communication between the king and the waiter, leading to the use of physical expression. It's all in a satirical audio film. It complements the use of the three trailers. Advertising placement, media follow-up-commercialization. Disclosing political demands through the mouth of children. Comedian...
