A real gentleman is not defined by his status in class or his manners in social conventions. A real gentleman is defined by how much he is will to sacrifice and do for the one he loves without expecting anything in return. Charlie Chaplin was a beautiful reminder of that to people in the 1920s-1930s, and I don't believe there will be another one like him.
City Lights is really a masterpiece...I consider it a greater work of Charles' than Modern Times...it's so full of passion and humanity...a movie that could make you laugh and also make you cry!! The ending scene is a happy ending, but you will fall off tears at the same time....if there could be films at this level nowadays it would be a gift to our modern time.
Best scene of all time, taken from the best movie of all time, made by the greatest cinema genius of all time. Pure beauty, true perfection. Words are unnecessary, when amazing acting and wonderful music can talk straight to people's hearts. Thank you, Master Chaplin.
I remember I once saw this film at a rep house. When the audience saw the final scene (they were all young people like me), and the flower girl realized he was her benefactor, the whole audience gave a collective "Awwww!" And just then, I could picture Chaplin on his cloud, with that shy smile on his face, saying "Gotcha!" After all these years, he can still wow an audience. THAT is a classic.
This scene alone makes CITY LIGHTS deserve its reputation as one of the greatest movies of all time. I saw this as a boy in the theater and was so moved, and naive as I was, hoped that the flower girl could learn to love the Tramp and be with him, for all he had done for her, The ending here is ambiguous in that way. But just so beautiful.
Just imagine being a moviegoer in 1931... Chaplin's smiling face has faded off the screen the theater is plunged into darkness, and the music swells.... unforgettable.
I first saw this in the summer of 1974 when CBC Television in Canada showed Chaplin movies every Sunday night, starting with his early short comedies and then moving chronologically to his feature films. I was 10 years old. I was used to having Chaplin make me laugh hysterically, so this movie's ending hit me like a ton of bricks. All these years later City Lights still has the same effect on me. It is powerful and beautiful. If there is a better ending to a movie, I have yet to see it.
This is one of the most moving scenes ever in motion pictures in my opinion...The Girls facial expressions and Charlies reaction are pure theatre and some of the finest comedy-drama put on film...Its almost always makes me cry....its so beautiful....!
This always leaves me speechless. Everything in this scene is perfect. If the choice existed between this scene and all the movies from the past decade, I would choose this without hesitating. So much wealth in silent films that can only be seen if you search for them. It's a shame. This is the type of film that should play on tv regularly. For all ages, all cultures, everyone everywhere.
This scene is so incredibly intense....and so true. Blind people really can recognize hands. They know calluses and scars like you would know a map, and I love that last shot of Chapllns face. Deliberately made to look intense with the flower by his mouth like a devil about to eat innocence but does not. The perfect composition of mans duality in love and fear. If you could rate genius on a scale of 1 to 10 Chaplin was infinity. Seriously, you can watch this movie an infinite amount of times.
There is an old anecdote, perhaps even true (corrections welcome), that long ago there was a Chaplin festival, shown in a large outdoor piazza in Italy. This was the last film screened that night, and when this scene ended the festival, there was not a dry eye in the audience. Suddenly, a brilliant spotlight illuminated a balcony near the screen, and standing there, smiling and waving, was Chaplin himself. The crowd cheered through their tears, and the applause was tumultuous. Chaplin himself always said that this was his favorite of all his films.
I think that this scene hear proves there is a God, because how can such a powerful emotion of the heart be a whim of chance? Love is the greatest gift, a gift used seemingly less and less, and done in a way like this, Mr Chaplin new how to use it's power to stir feelings in even the most hardhearted person. So beautiful. Thank you so much Sir Chaplin, you will be remembered for as long as there are still beating hearts in this world and beyond.
a friend of mine, who is a big fan of Chaplin, recomended me this film...a watched last night and it was perfect...now understand why Chaplin is a great master..
Oggi un film del genere sarebbe sicuramente ignorato. Mettete insieme il bianco/nero, la storia semplice, la musica e quel gran genio, ma soprattutto "uomo" di Chaplin e questo è il meraviglioso risultato. Chaplin: l'irripetibile!!!!!!!!!!
I can watch this scene endlessly on a loop and still be affected every time. So much better than the crap that passes off as romance and love stories nowadays.
It's brilliant that Chaplin leads the viewer to believe that the (former) blind girl will recognize the Tramp by his voice, and instead she recognizes him by the touch of his hand.
1:55 Look again! He doesn't say _anything._ She is _looking_ at him. She even says sarcastically, "I've made a conquest!" - in other words, "Of course, I'm not interested in a tramp!" The only thing that leads to their reunification is her pity.
@@humanrightsadvocate I would say that the "pity" on her part was when she offered him the fresh new flower and the fifty cent piece; but many mixed emotions when she finally recognized him by the touch of his hand.
@@humanrightsadvocate No, not pity. Just check the earlier part of the story. When she was blind, they become friends after Charlie buys a flower from her and shows interest in her. He later finds a news about a surgeon who could cure blindness and gives her money for her travel and treatment. Obviously she gets sight after the treatment funded by Charlie. So it is not just pity.
@@prabhakarj931 She didn't know it was him! She saw a tramp on the street and - OUT OF PITY - she decided to give him money. It is called pity when you feel sorry for someone. Had she decided to not give a fuck about that poor stranger outside, they would have never reunited. So, in the end, it was PITY that reunited them.
GENIUS!!! I love you sir Charles forever. The best movie ending in the history of film making. I own every shorts and feature film of this man and in every one of them there is something that stays with you. this and "the Kid" are the most human and poignant movie ever made. Simply the greatest.
Awww...Charlie Chaplins acts so well! Oh, and he directs well too. His content is great. Does'nt rely on special effects... Behold, one of the greatest artist of all time.
Never forget the first time I see this. I'm 36 now and this left me distraught many years ago. Delivers more magic than anything you can put into words. He didn't need them. Just brilliant. You have to remember that today people are simple. They don't have brain cells to stop and think. This would go over so many people's heads and it's actually rather tragic what we have become. Actually think about that logically for a moment. A tramp falls in love and gives what he does not own and takes the suffering for a stranger. The look in his eyes at the end. You can't pay for that beauty today My god damn hero xxxx
Chaplin was a genius. He managed to make a film absolutely hillarious and light hearted yet at the same time emotional, serious and heart tugging. Not only using the acting, but he also composed the mood-setting music too. He was an exceptionally talented man! I'd say the most talented person to embrace the film industry ever on this earth.
I've never seen a Charlie Chaplin film before - of course, everyone's heard of him. I was at the public library recently and picked this one up. Now I get it. I laughed so hard my ribs hurt, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry at the end. Simply brilliant. I love the fact that he made this film after the technology for sound was developed, and incorporated the "speech" at the beginning and the music throughout. Here it is days later and I still find myself randomly laughing out loud...
chaplin did this film with all the heart. i imagine myself being a tramp and walking by the streets and feeling the same that chaplin. when he was a kid, he was really poor, miserable, but a boy with a very sweet and sensible heart. great chaplin. God bless you, friend.
This is quite astonishing. Virginia Cherrill holds her own with Chaplin, no easy task. I firmly believe that Chaplin is the greatest movie star ever. That final close up of Chaplin is possibly the single most moving final few seconds of any film.
Brings tears to my eyes. When she says, "Yes, I can see now", that line speaks volumes and The Tramp and The Girl finding each other again. I can see why this film ending has been called the greatest in in the history of movies!
This is the greatest scene ever filmed. If nothing had been produced after City Lights, even then cinema would be the greatest art of all. Chaplin is eternal, one of the greatest artists of our time. I'm proud to have lived in the same planet he did.
Fantastic comments posted here. To think there are young people today who won't watch black and white movies, never mind silent black and white movies! This is undoubtedly one of the great movie endings ever--perhaps the greatest. How did City Lights not win the Best Picture Oscar for 1931?
One on my absolute favorites as well. There is one other incredible silent film ending you might like. Lillian Gish's character is rescued from an ice floe at the the end of D. W. Griffith's, Way Down East" (1920). It is really worth a look.
Unforgettable love story. We can see a great writer in Charlie Chaplin. The way of seeing his lover who was blind flower girl after she had get her eyes revived is very natural and nice. May be this movie was his last silent movie even just before one year sound record had been established in movies. Chaplin worked hard to finish this movie nearly 3 years. Virgina Cherrill is very beatiful heroine in this movie. She died on 14-11-1996 at California in USA at 88th years of age.
A Genius - Charles Chaplin - created a Masterpiece - City Lights. And the final scene is... wow... simply heavenly... So simple, so true, so human, so touching... so divine!
I saw this movie while attending a college film class. When it ended, the silence was deafening, as everyone strived to control their emotions. Only those with the hardest of hearts won't be moved by this.
I'm so glad that there are so many of you as moved by this as I am! We had to watch this in my film class and almost everybody hated it....except for me. It turned me into an overnight Chaplin fanatic! After watching this, I traced down copies of Modern Times and The Great Dictator! Such an amazing talent!
Acabo de ver esta escena otra vez, ya la había visto y vi la película entera. Las lágrimas a punto de salir de mis ojos...Ya pasaron más de 90 años del filme y tiene todo su arte y su magia. Chaplin es...unico.
Cried when I was ten! Crying now that I'm 45! Chaplin's films have always touched me in the heart! (Before I receive negative comments, YES, grown men do cry!)
I totally agree it's one of the greatest - and definitely the most moving - endings in film history. I'm amazed at the use of the music - the change in the music after she takes his hand then starts feeling it and then realizes - that change in the music shows Chaplin, who wrote the music, knew deeply how to use it and it's impact on the emotion of the scene is...well, genius.
Arguably the best film ending outside of Casablanca. Just filled with nuance and beauty, and Mr. Chaplin plays a character who is completely relatable.
She noticed the truth when she touched his hands. This seedy looking man is the man who gave her a chance to get the light back in her life again. I can't stop my tears watching this ending scene every time. I love this movie so much ! from Japan Okinawa.
80 years and this movie has lost none of it's spirit and magic. Acting at it's absolute finest! Oh Charlie, how you are missed in the movie business nowadays...
Orson Wells called this 'the best movie ending ever committed to celluloid'. I can't think of any better and the fact that it was done with facial expressions tells of the immense abilities of Chaplin.
I remember my elementary school teacher showed our class this movie. I've always wanted to rewatch it again after 7 years, but I couldn't find it because I didn't even know the name of this movie. I'm so glad I found it now. I love this movie soo so much. very classic.
There are two scenes of Chaplin that fill my eyes with tears. One is in "The Kid", when the Orphanate officer gest's the child. The other is the ending of City Lights
We create statues and monuments to celebrate the accomplishments of the great, but Charlie Chaplain honors the heroism of the common man that so often goes unnoticed.
The movie world owes so much to this little fella from the UK , this is one of the greatest most poignant ending's ever as in most of his films Charlie's little tramp shows that when you love someone so much you give all, and the rewards? Well he gets his girl and makes us all happy to know this.....brilliant movie genius...
What a beautiful testament to the art they created - still making us cry after 85 years.
90 years. Pass the Kleenex.
❤️
"Yes I can see now" has so many meanings within the context of the story. Genius!!
A real gentleman is not defined by his status in class or his manners in social conventions. A real gentleman is defined by how much he is will to sacrifice and do for the one he loves without expecting anything in return. Charlie Chaplin was a beautiful reminder of that to people in the 1920s-1930s, and I don't believe there will be another one like him.

The ending scene is a happy ending, but you will fall off tears at the same time....if there could be films at this level nowadays it would be a gift to our modern time.
Chaplin is the only man who can create a movie ending that makes me smile and cry at the same time. Truely the greatest film maker who ever lived.
Best scene of all time, taken from the best movie of all time, made by the greatest cinema genius of all time. Pure beauty, true perfection. Words are unnecessary, when amazing acting and wonderful music can talk straight to people's hearts. Thank you, Master Chaplin.
💖💖💖...
Yes, the most beautiful ending of all time...Yes, you can't see this ending without tears...
Also, think about the MUSIC is also by Charlie Chaplin
Just thinking about it tears me up
It doesn't have the strength of the ending of "The Ghost & Mr Chicken", but "City Lights" does indeed have a truly beautiful ending !
@@mallubhai0MBBS And the writing, directing, producing, filming, acting......no one in movie history is close to Charlie Chaplin.
@@mallubhai0MBBS The main theme of this film is not by Chaplin, but by Spanish musician José Padilla, titled "La violetera".
Slight correction, this movie IS and will ALWAYS be a masterpiece. One of my favorite films of all time.
I remember I once saw this film at a rep house. When the audience saw the final scene (they were all young people like me), and the flower girl realized he was her benefactor, the whole audience gave a collective "Awwww!"

This is probably the greatest ending to a movie ever. SO beautiful.
Just imagine being a moviegoer in 1931... Chaplin's smiling face has faded off the screen the theater is plunged into darkness, and the music swells.... unforgettable.
Moviegoer from 2017 here, it's still unforgettable.
The smile he gives at the end---it fills me with happiness.

Yes! The best ending for a film of all times. If there is someone who can watch this without crying, he/she has to be dead inside.
The greatest film maker, actor, comedian, choreographer, composer in movie history- all in one man.
This is one of the most moving scenes ever in motion pictures in my opinion...The Girls facial expressions and Charlies reaction are pure theatre and some of the finest comedy-drama put on film...Its almost always makes me cry....its so beautiful....!

For all the epic tales of human emotion, the greatest film ending of all time .
This is without question the best ending scene of any movie.
There is nothing else that can compete with this.
When the despair hits hard. When you are losing faith in what good there is... There is this. Forever. For all time.

Simply the greatest.
Filmmaking of the highest order. It takes a serious talent to put that much emotion, pathos and comedy into a film without even using words.
I cry every time I see this. No words.
I'm 18 years old and I cry like a baby watching this. Chaplin wasn't human, he was something much bigger than a human!!
Awww...Charlie Chaplins acts so well!
Oh, and he directs well too.

すばらしいの一言では言い表せない、美しくも哀しい、切なさの中にも可愛らしさのある映画。
この素晴らしさを表現するのにどんな言葉を使えばいいんだろう？
全ての世代、あらゆる国の人に見てほしい。
「本当に大切なものは目に見えないんだよ。」その言葉が改めて胸に沁みます。

I can't watch this without tearing up. Its just so touching.
one of the best endings i have ever seen. i get teary eyed every time i see this a true genius charles chaplin was
3.05からの繊細な心の機微を、この女優は微妙な顔の表情の変化により、見事に演じきった。
天才チャップリンと互角に演技をしたと思います。すばらしい演技力。30年ぶりぐらいで、このシーンを観ました。なつかしいです。いつ観ても、胸を打たれます。

La violetera was composed by Jose Padilla and was not created for Chaplin but for the Spanish vedette soprano Raquel Meller when she was in Paris.
I am am still wowed that a movie with no spoken words can evoke such emotion.
The most touching moment I've ever watch in a movie. What an ending!
A Genius - Charles Chaplin - created a Masterpiece - City Lights. And the final scene is... wow... simply heavenly... So simple, so true, so human, so touching... so divine!
Poignant... L'une des plus belles scènes jamais filmées!!
If everyone had a heart like Chaplin, the world would be near flawless if not perfect.
I have watched this movie yesterday for the first time. It is beautiful and incredibly powerful!
I saw this movie while attending a college film class. When it ended, the silence was deafening, as everyone strived to control their emotions. Only those with the hardest of hearts won't be moved by this.
チャップリンの映画を見ていると、どんなにつらくても生きて行こうという強い意志を感じられます。本当にすばらしい映画です！！
エドナちゃん。途中から目が見えるようになるんですよね。手の感触でチャップリンとわかるなんて素晴らしいです。無声映画は見るものに想像を掻き立てますね。
@@中野愼一 途中からって、チャップリンが手術費用出して、目を治してあげるんやないか。
自然に治ったみたいに言わんとってくれ。
Yes now i can "see" - very emotional -
I❤Charlie🤗
The ending to this movie always makes me cry ever since the first time i saw it. The moment he says "you can see now?"---tears start welling up.
I watch and cry.....every time. Just beautiful!!!!
I'm so glad that there are so many of you as moved by this as I am! We had to watch this in my film class and almost everybody hated it....except for me. It turned me into an overnight Chaplin fanatic! After watching this, I traced down copies of Modern Times and The Great Dictator! Such an amazing talent!
THIS IS TRULY ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN MOVIE HISTORY.IF NOT THE BEST.
The most romantic, heartwarming scene in cinematic history...
Probably the most beautiful ending of ever!! Magic, art, poetry, legend!!
The most powerful moment of a great career. Time is Chaplin`s dearest and eternal friend.....
Charlie does teach love. He has taught me so much about being human. When she reaches out too him I get all choked up.
This is simply magical. A beautiful ending to such a wonderful film.
I'm 15 but I like Charlie Chaplin movies better then any other movie. He is so inspiring!
I love how he only wants to take the flower.
Acabo de ver esta escena otra vez, ya la había visto y vi la película entera. Las lágrimas a punto de salir de mis ojos...Ya pasaron más de 90 años del filme y tiene todo su arte y su magia. Chaplin es...unico.
Can't believe it! I thought I was the only one who cried after this ending! THIS IS LOVE
Cried when I was ten! Crying now that I'm 45! Chaplin's films have always touched me in the heart! (Before I receive negative comments, YES, grown men do cry!)
Charlie made this world kind and beautiful...
Rest In Peace!
I totally agree it's one of the greatest - and definitely the most moving - endings in film history.
I'm amazed at the use of the music - the change in the music after she takes his hand then starts feeling it and then realizes - that change in the music shows Chaplin, who wrote the music, knew deeply how to use it and it's impact on the emotion of the scene is...well, genius.
Arguably the best film ending outside of Casablanca. Just filled with nuance and beauty, and Mr. Chaplin plays a character who is completely relatable.
A scene that shows basically every human emotion and ends on acceptance and love. Beautiful.
la plus belle fin jamais réalisée depuis l'histoire du cinéma
à chaque fois cela mène aux larmes, c'est impressionnant
quel talent
人類史に永遠に残すべき最も美しい映画ー
your comments reflect my feelings too, where are the masters of film today? I love Chaplin and his work.
The best ending of any movie.
No competition for this.
It gets me everytime.
Great ! I still go on you tube to get this scene now and then it's one of the greatest tear jerkers of all time, fantastic.
The ending is breathtaking. Just lovely.
今までに もう何回同じ場面を見たでしょうね。本当に 胸に じいん と 気ます。又街の灯の歌も素晴らしいです。
She noticed the truth when she touched his hands.
This seedy looking man is the man who gave her a chance to get the light back in her life again.
I can't stop my tears watching this ending scene every time.
I love this movie so much ! from Japan Okinawa.
80 years and this movie has lost none of it's spirit and magic. Acting at it's absolute finest! Oh Charlie, how you are missed in the movie business nowadays...
Feeling by touch, is the real language of Love and Humanity. The Great Great Charlie Chaplin, has underlined this point at the end of films.
Orson Wells called this 'the best movie ending ever committed to celluloid'. I can't think of any better and the fact that it was done with facial expressions tells of the immense abilities of Chaplin.
I remember my elementary school teacher showed our class this movie. I've always wanted to rewatch it again after 7 years, but I couldn't find it because I didn't even know the name of this movie. I'm so glad I found it now. I love this movie soo so much. very classic.
Simply brilliant movie making and story telling at its finest.
There are two scenes of Chaplin that fill my eyes with tears. One is in "The Kid", when the Orphanate officer gest's the child. The other is the ending of City Lights
Exactly!!
This scene is completely transcendent. There is nothing else like it.
هذا المقطع كنت ابحث عنه منذ زمن طويل
ولما رايته توا نزلت من عيني قطرات من الدموع
اشكرك الله على نعمائه
A beautiful movie...such a beautiful ending.
We create statues and monuments to celebrate the accomplishments of the great, but Charlie Chaplain honors the heroism of the common man that so often goes unnoticed.
The movie world owes so much to this little fella from the UK , this is one of the greatest most poignant ending's ever as in most of his films Charlie's little tramp shows that when you love someone so much you give all, and the rewards? Well he gets his girl and makes us all happy to know this.....brilliant movie genius...
