Nowhere do we see this danger better than in The Italian with George Beban in which he and his family, complete with newborn baby, are forced to live on the Lower East Side, which it was one of the most well-known gatherings of immigrants forced to live in tenements and slums. These people lived in exactly the conditions Weiss referred to in his statement on health and the soul. Beppo and Annette live their life in Italy which, although not luxurious, is still beautiful. Annette works in a field harvesting crops and Beppo pilots a gondola along the river. They are poor but are satisfied with their life and the idea of ​​spending it together. The two find their way to America but end up in New York's Lower East. This film could be seen primarily as a cautionary tale in many ways, but also as a warning. Right at the beginning of the film we see Charlie Chaplin leaning over the side of the ship on which he is traveling to the United States. We see people huddled on the deck and soon after Chaplin and another man are seen sitting on the deck visibly ill, presumably from the ship's rolling on the ocean waves. Then we see the immigrants on the ship trying to eat as the ship goes back and forth. The severity of attention afforded by the film ranges from mild, to moderate, to severe. The film's caution towards immigrants might seem to begin with a warning for anyone who might get seasick on a long voyage to America. Then there's the warning about the lack of readily available food, as evidenced by Charlie Chaplin's peach at the beginning of the film. He is presumably fishing because he is hungry and has been given little else to eat. We later see that even when passengers are provided with their meal, it is a measly bowl of soup which they are apparently expected to share with their fellow passengers as not everyone is provided with their own individual bowl of soup. The general condition of the ship is presented as a loss and perhaps without hope of reaching the destination. It is in this way that the film could be interpreted as a film that shows what can happen after arriving in America if you do not take precautions beforehand to safeguard your money. On the ship we see that Edna's character's mother's money is stolen and then replaced with money from the characters' chaplains who win at gambling. If it were not for his generosity she and her mother would have been completely destitute when they arrived in America. Despite this, Edna Purviance's character appears to be broke when she shows up at the restaurant where Chaplin is also eating. He also lost his mother who fell ill during the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. This is also another caveat to this film and perhaps one of the most important. The loss of a parent is not something easily bearable and once again we have a case where the film almost asks the question of whether or not a person wants to risk losing their parents just for the chance to live in America. The Immigrant makes light of these tragedies by almost ignoring them and focusing primarily on the comedic elements of the films
