    So scary, so powerful, so touching, the girl who got out of prison, the girl who buys flowers and the girl who dances, are so beautiful. 20170901@Guangzhou Qiyu Bookstore Zhongda Sliding Door...

    The film is a film masterpiece that combines comedy and philosophy. Through the voice-over of the protagonist, the film tells the special life course of bank staff during the economic crisis in 1930. Chaplin used the image of Bluebeard to expose the criminal nature of capitalist society, while also satirically admiring a large number of films promoting murder. In the play, one by one episodes and dramatic suspense, as well as ingenious time and space compression and the continuous reproduction...

    Or Brecht's words, opening a bank or robbing a bank, which one is more sinful? The turmoil surrounding this film can be summed up as follows: the audience at that time saw Verdue as Charlie, and we saw Verdue as...

    Very wonderful story! The script is great, the performance is even better, the rhythm of the film is excellent, the editing is fluent, and the idea behind it is naturally brought out to improve the whole film a lot. The rolling of the train's wheels is both suggestive of galloping across the country and a small pause. Great sense of comedy. An important revelation of this film is that it turns out that comedy can also be profound. Qiu Yuefeng's voice acting is amazing! The translation of the...

    Full marks for comedy. The disadvantage is that in the comedy, it has to add some deep drama, to be reasonable, and the three views are ambiguous and can't be erased, and points will be deducted at the end. This kind of story would definitely not be shot like this...

    3.5 In the post-war era movies, Verdu is the reverse existence of Charlot, the murderer and the era of murder, the one who kills one person and the one who kills thousands of people, these accusations, these lines add a lot of color to the end of the whole movie, but the front The story is a little...

    8. A crime movie that is packaged in the form of comedy and is really a tragedy that penetrates the bone marrow. It can be regarded as an alternative work by Chaplin. Classic line: Life is beyond reason, that's why you must go on, if it's only to fulfill your destiny. Idealism has no hope. The root of human grief lies in uncontrolled and boundless greed and desire. The famous master Bai Zuozhuo should...

    The cold heart melted briefly

    I think Chaplin is the most complicated and elusive character in Hollywood history. He is a hard-core leftist, and in the second half of his life, he was swept out by the US government because of his political beliefs and could only live in Switzerland. At the same time, he was accused by many...

    Murderers have love too

    I have never liked movies of murderous madmen, such as The Silent Lamb, such as the Seven Deadly Sins, such as Chainsaw Fright, disappointment in human nature, and revenge against society. Are these all reasons? What is the use of killing a few unfortunate people who are at the bottom of society...

Monsieur Verdoux quotes

  • [to the court, after being found guilty of murder]

    Henri Verdoux: I shall see you ALL soon - very soon.

  • Prosecutor: Never, never in the history of jurisprudence have such terrifying deeds been brought to light. Gentlemen of the jury, you have before you a cruel and cynical monster. Look at him!

    [all heads turn to face Verdoux, who turns around himself to look behind]

    Prosecutor: Observe him, gentlemen. This man, who has brains, if he had decent instincts, could have made an honest living. And yet, he preferred to rob and murder unsuspecting women. In fact, he made a business of it. I do not ask for vengeance, but for the protection of society. For this mass killer, I demand the extreme penalty: that he be put to death on the guillotine. The State rests its case.

    Judge: Monsieur Verdoux, you have been found guilty. Have you anything to say before sentence is passed upon you?

    Henri Verdoux: Oui, monsieur, I have. However remiss the prosecutor has been in complimenting me, he at least admits that I have brains. Thank you, Monsieur, I have. And for thirty-five years I used them honestly. After that, nobody wanted them. So I was forced to go into business for myself. As for being a mass killer, does not the world encourage it? Is it not building weapons of destruction for the sole purpose of mass killing? Has it not blown unsuspecting women and little children to pieces? And done it very scientifically? As a mass killer, I am an amateur by comparison. However, I do not wish to lose my temper, because very shortly, I shall lose my head. Nevertheless, upon leaving this spark of earthly existence, I have this to say: I shall see you all... very soon... very soon.
