Realistic travel

I wanted to watch this movie for a long time, I wanted to watch it years ago, and finally saw it today! I am naturally in a good mood. The movie is a good non-verbal form. There are several shots that impressed me.
One is that the tramp stunned Sullivan and robbed the money. This old guy has never seen so much money in his life, he's excited. I couldn't even walk the road. The money was scattered on the train track. He went to pick it up. The result was crushed to death. It was so ironic and ridiculous, but in the end it left me with endless sadness.
And the prisoners who were deprived of their freedom laughed when they watched Mickey Mouse. Those sincere smiles also made him understand how important comedy movies are!
Poor people are suffering from misfortune and reality every day, and comedy movies can make them laugh and make them forget their misfortune and humble situation. Here, the movie becomes something illusory like a placebo, which makes people quiet and get rid of reality.
This film has also inspired many comedy directors. Their films are also made for the working class, and their films are also saving a group of desperate people.
Although this movie is a comedy, it is actually quite uncomfortable for me to watch it later. In fact, everyone will understand how cruel reality is to the unfortunate and poor. The vast majority of people are numb. Who would think of Sullivan as whimsical, not living in such a big house, not to mention such a high status, to act as a desolate tramp to experience life, as kind as him, give everyone The benevolence of a homeless person who pays $5 in the end can only attract the greed of others. When I get to the upper body, I feel sad for this society.
Poor people, I mean people who have nothing. To live is to be cold-eyed and despised by others every day, and to live a life worse than others. When they are insulted by others, even if they act impulsively, they should be understood. What is the concept of society? For me, kind people will kill people instead, because they can't stand the insults of bad guys. They can't see them pollute the world everywhere. Only those who are greedy for life and fear of death, who are cunning and despicable, will obey this cruel and hypocritical law everywhere.

    boring life experience. Realism is petty bourgeoisie.
