The inspiration for the wonderful plot of the film comes from an idea of Chaplin after completing the circus. In the era when the trend of talking movies has swept through Hollywood, Chaplin once had a big fight with the boss of the film company in order to win the normal release of this movie. It took more than 250 thousand meters to make this film. In the film, the scene of Charlie meeting the flower girl for the first time was shot 342 times, and the copy adoption rate of the film was only 0.95%. The shooting cycle of City Lights is the longest in Chaplin's shooting history-from 1927, 12, 3 1, to 193 10, 12, which lasted for three years. Award-winning record Award-winning time Winner's remarks: The top 100 films in the film history in 2007 won the award 1 1. The top 100 romantic comedies of American Film Academy in 2008,No. 1, the top 100 classic films of Oscar in 2008, No.67, the release information of city lights, the release date of the country 19365438. The film City Light is Chaplin's last silent film, but it also symbolizes the highest achievement of Chaplin's film art. At present, the film City Light has been collected by the National Film Protection Agency of the United States, which shows the affirmation and achievement of the artistic value of the film.

City Light is a comedy film with reasonable layout and ingenious conception. The film frames vagrants and blind girls as the main characters, because you can't see vagrants. All the beautiful imagination and the details of the blind girl make the world romantic and wonderful. Because blind girls can be seen, homeless people have to hide their true situation. It is between this "imagination" and "concealment" that the film becomes more warm and full of suspense.

Although the film shows the "sadness and joy" and "laughter and tears" among the little people at the bottom of society, it is an excellent comedy. In order to highlight the strong comedy effect, Chaplin created many jokes from realistic details. Whether it is the funny appearance of the tramp on the sculpture or his crazy behavior such as dancing and eating noodles, people can't help laughing. His almost cruel boxing duel with the big guy made the audience unforgettable. The strong comedy effect and various jokes make the comedy effect and artistic achievement of this film more prominent and sublime.

Movies are very social and critical. The film repeats the persistence of vagrants and rich people, and expresses the economic crisis at that time. The upper class of society eased the crisis for workers and occasionally relaxed policies. Chaplin skillfully expressed the inequality of American society through the experience of tramps and rich people.

In addition to strong sociality, the film is warm and touching, especially the touching scene at the end. Once again, the flower girl with sightseeing eyes met a poor tramp and wanted to send the tramp flower girl away with a flower. When her hand touched the tramp's hand, the familiar feeling puzzled the flower girl. "Is that you?" The girl asked. "yes." The tramp replied shyly, "Can you see it?" The girl replied, "I can see that." After a brief dialogue, the film came to an abrupt end in endless imagination and expectation. In this film, Chaplin gave his perfect performance to the audience. No wonder Louis Jocobbs, an American film historian, also said that talking about Chaplin is talking about movies. In the history of American movies, no one has become such a beloved figure in the world like Chaplin. (Zi Yan comments)
