City Lights, there was a domestically produced one two years ago, called "City Lights of Psychological Crimes", that "City Lights" is the self-righteousness of a perverted murderer. And this city lights, is a homeless well-deserved.

There is also a very interesting part of the film. The homeless man is preparing to sleep on a bench by the river and finds a millionaire who wants to commit suicide. "Tomorrow the birds will sing. Be brave! Face life!" he said. Later we learned that the reason why the millionaire committed suicide was simply because his wife left. He had power, money, and Rolls-Royce, but he committed suicide because of a trivial matter; Penniless, can only sleep on the bench in the park, but live every day with anticipation.

The ants are still alive, the greater the status and power of a person, the smaller the brain.

The best part of the film is the moment when the flower girl recognizes the homeless man after her eyes are healed. The ridicule and disdain for the homeless person in his eyes all disappeared at that moment, and his eyes were full of gratitude. When the eyes are blind, I can feel the warmth and warmth of human feelings, and when the eyes are good, I do not see the status of the world. Maybe Chaplin once wanted to shoot an ending where the flower girl hated the tramp, but in that case, the meaning of City Lights is what the tramp did for the flower girl, and it would be bleak in the end. And now at the end, the light of the city seems to have a source, in the homeless, in the eyes of the flower girl.

    On the flight back from @Aeroflot. I didn't like it as much as "Modern Times", but I was still very moved to see it, especially when the two reunited at the end. How many things in the world have blinded true feelings. If you are deceived by your eyes at the beginning, how can two hearts come together? Tomorrow the birds will sing.

    One of Chaplin's greatness is that even though he has endured so much suffering, he still believes that every story will have a bright ending. The flower girl asked him: "Is that you?" I always felt that he would shake his head bitterly, then turn around and leave. Love is the light of the dark city, and so is kindness, but the city doesn't actually believe this.
