This very Kafka-esque film is Keaton's response to the Fatty Arbuckle scandal.[citation needed] Even though the central character's intentions are good, he cannot win, no matter how inventively he tries. He gets into various scraps with police officers throughout the film. Eventually, he unwittingly throws a bomb into a police parade and ends up being chased by a horde of cops.
At the end of the film, Keaton's character locks up the cops in the police station. However, the girl he is trying to woo disapproves of his behavior and gives him the cold shoulder. Therefore, he unlocks the police station and is immediately pulled in by the cops. The film ends with the title "The End" written on a tombstone with Keaton's pork pie hat propped on it.
One of Keaton's most iconic and brilliantly-constructed short films, Cops was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry in 1997.。有罪者就该罪有应得? 无罪者真的毫无关联? 四宗震惊社会的刑案事件、四段无法预测的人性挣扎, 爱恨贪怨,他们犯的是什么错?罪的是什么过? 究竟真相是什么?你又选择相信什么? 该剧启发自台湾四大真实奇案,四个单元故事包括: 《出轨》:凤小岳、林予晞、薛仕凌、施柏宇主演,金钟奖导演萧力修执导; 《生死困局》:王柏杰、李铭忠主演,洪子烜执导; 《黑潮之下》:傅孟柏、蔡凡熙、李霈瑜主演,徐瑞良执导 《恶有引力》:陈以文、宋芸桦主演,金钟奖导演范扬仲执导。。
