Film Review: Monsieur Verdu

7 points. Chaplin gave a rare performance of a villain. Mr. Verdu, the green bearded man, attacked everywhere, seemingly dangerous, but he always managed to retreat. In the end, I suddenly found out that I died generously. The content I found in my conscience always felt that it did not match the overall style. In addition, the preaching of several speeches was too strong. Combined with the shooting time of this film, it can be understood that Chaplin wanted to accuse social injustice, but as a murderer, it was too unconvincing.

    The ending reveals ambitions that are not limited to melodrama. Verdue stands on the dock and puts forward all his accusations against this dehumanizing society. Chaplin is a master of comedy and is proficient in filmmaking. All-round talent in every aspect.

Monsieur Verdoux quotes

  • Henri Verdoux: It's the approach of death that terrifies.

    The Girl: I suppose if the unborn knew of the approach of life, they'd be just as terrified.

  • The Girl: It's nice seeing you again, You'll never realise what your kindness meant to me.

    Henri Verdoux: Kindness is a convenient thing at times, My dear.
