City Lights is a film that tells the love story between a homeless man and a blind flower girl
The film was filmed during the economic crisis in the United States, so it can be said that it is somewhat a mockery of reality.
The main character, Charlie, is very poor, and although he is very polite, he looks funny due to his tattered clothes and becomes the object of ridicule.
Therefore, in that era, Charlie was not well received by people, and no one looked down on him, until one day, Charlie met a blind girl who sold flowers.
The girl enthusiastically stopped Charlie and wanted to sell him flowers, which surprised Charlie, because his clothes and appearance were obviously a destitute man, and even the little flower sellers were reluctant to sell him newspapers.
Charlie is embarrassed and wonders why the girl noticed him, but when he looks closely, he realizes that the girl is blind and can't see anything.
Despite Charlie's poverty, he kindly bought a flower, even if it hurt his heart.
Charlie was moved when the girl put the flower on herself, he had never touched a woman before.
After this, Charlie is very eager to meet the girl who sells flowers again, and in the process, he saves a drunk rich man.
But unfortunately, Charlie mistakenly thinks they have become friends and borrows money from the rich man.
The rich man was very generous and gave Charlie $20, much to Charlie's delight.
He immediately found the girl and bought all the flowers in her hand.
The girl was very grateful for Charlie's generosity and praised him.
Charlie happily drove the girl home in the rich man's car.
When the girl walked into the house, Charlie was reluctant to give up everything about her, and he wanted to give the girl all his tenderness.
After returning to the villa, the drunken rich man forgot who Charlie was and kicked him out, and Charlie instantly returned to his original predicament.
In order to buy the girl's flowers, he went to move bricks, and when he learned that the girl could not pay the rent because she was sick, he even participated in a boxing match, but his thin body could not support his dream.
Charlie, scarred, walks down the street and unexpectedly meets the rich man again, and this time the rich man recognizes him only because he is drunk.
Excited, Charlie came to the rich man's villa again and borrowed another 1,000 yuan from him.
But just as Charlie was about to go to the girl, two thieves appeared in the rich man's family.
Charlie stopped the thief and called the police, but unfortunately the thief escaped before the police arrived, and Charlie was arrested.
Charlie had already anticipated his end, he desperately got rid of the police, ran to the girl, put 1000 yuan in the girl's hand, and told her to use it for ** eyes.
Charlie painfully promised to come back, but it wasn't easy.
Time flies, Charlie's old dress is in tatters, and he is extremely depressed.
He stood at the prison gate and watched everything in a complicated way.
Charlie came to the place where he first saw the girl, but did not see the girl, and he walked down the street in despair.
Charlie carefully picked up the flower, and when he saw the girl, he was so excited that tears flowed from his eyes.
By this time, the girl had regained her sight.
The movie ends with a dreamlike ending, the girl doesn't dislike Charlie's downfall, and their encounter is fantastic.
