:I think part of the greatness of the ending is its openness to more than one interpretation. I can see how it could be read as joyful. But personally, I see it as a crushingly sad ending-- Chaplin says, "You can see now?" She replies, "Yes, I can see," and the screen goes black, implying (to me) that any hopes the tramp had for them were ended when he gave her sight, and he knew it. It was a gesture of self-sacrifice on more than one level.
:But regardless, the article should probably just describe what happens without putting an interpretation on it. I think it's fine as it stands. [[User:Rizzleboffin|Rizzleboffin]] 04:35, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
== Chaplin did not compose the love theme of City Lights ==
The love theme of City Lights, the Leitmotif of the blind girl, is José Padilla's "La violetera". Only after a trial for plagiarism, in Paris, Chaplin finally admitted the facts.
