After reading "City Lights", I can only say that Chaplin is really a master! The light of his city is that the girl who sells flowers can regain her eyesight and see the world again. Maybe the person in the girl's fantasy can't be a homeless person on the street at all. Such a playful storyline makes people cry. The plot design is full of laughs, and the careful design of each scene can be called a classic.
1. A rich man takes a homeless person to a club. The smooth ground makes the homeless person unable to stand firm. The homeless person wants to fall down. The funny and exaggerated expression means that the shoes worn by the homeless person have been worn out, and there are more direct things behind. The footage shows that the soles of the homeless have indeed worn down, and people living in the era of the Great Depression.
2. Links of similarities promote the development of laughter. The rich man invited him to eat noodles, and the club played a lot of ribbons to celebrate. The homeless ate a mouthful of noodles and put a ribbon into his mouth; Pay the rent, go to pick up horse manure, and take a break to see the girl, and wash up. The co-worker next to me is getting ready to eat and takes out the butter, while the homeless man is washing his face with soap, going back and forth, wandering Hall washed his face with butter, and the homeless ate soap and applied bubbles; these details are all presented in pictures, without lines, and the step-by-step progress is very natural and peaceful, allowing the audience to perceive from the perspective of God, thus causing The audience burst into laughter, all of which require accumulation in life, and Chaplin's wild imagination was also used in it to add a lot of reference to City Lights.
3. Full marks for details. In order to thank the homeless man for saving his life, the rich man decided to invite him to be a guest at home. The homeless man who had already walked up the steps turned back and picked up the white flower on the bench and pinned it to his chest; Innocence and kindness, cuteness and authenticity are all attracting the audience, and the strong humanistic spirit is also expressed in it; the end is at the corner of the street, originally thought that the down-and-out tramp will rub shoulders with the girl sitting in the flower shop After that, the white flower was mixed with the fallen leaves swept out by the waiter, and the homeless man turned back suddenly, and sure enough, what he saw through the glass window was the first girl.
4. The designs of housekeepers and children are all representatives of various types of characters. The housekeeper represents the right-hand man next to the bourgeoisie and acts according to the color of the owner. The homeless, the homeless can only be blasted out; the little boy selling the newspaper on the street corner is always flirting with the homeless, and seeing the down-and-out homeless still makes fun of him, and the children's education was neglected during the Great Depression.
