Chaplin's works are soaked in the bitter smiles of small characters and helpless self-deprecation. On the one hand, they are humble and impoverished, and on the other hand, they have a kind-hearted will and the cunning of a small person. After going through hardships, they finally got their happiness.
Chaplin's favorite work is also one of his most interesting works. It ranks in the forefront of a number of world-wide film history ten best works. It can be called an immortal comedy. The storyline of this film is based on the short stories of Donald Paim, but Chaplin has added a lot of imaginative and comedic material, such as the classic "cooking leather boots" scenes, and "small bag noodle dance". "Dancing with the dog", "Others fight and the gun is always at oneself", "The cliff and the wooden house are dangerously dangerous", etc., have all become the objects of reference and imitation for later generations. In terms of the style of the film, the film combines the funny narrative, the tragic color, and the lyrical charm in a cleverly balanced combination, making it a masterpiece of the mature period in Bielin's works to a higher level. Subsequent works have added a lot of social criticism. On the contrary, it is not as simple and optimistic as this film directly focuses on the little people in the Alaska gold rush at the end of the nineteenth century.
