Light at the end of the tunnel, that what this movie
is. Even by taking place during the depression this movie had no depressing
qualities. Chaplin’s charismatic performance gives every scene a positive vibe
filled with slap stick humor. From burglars to being in jail, humor is the plot
of this movie not what takes place. From teasing the jail mate by taking the
bread away from him repetitively to intentionally was trying to be put in jail
shows the extent of overshadowing qualities. This movie was designed with one
purpose, to get people to laugh. Laughing both at the stupid humor and at
themselves in a way. When everyone shares a common experience of struggle and
watches a character react to those instances in the way the characters in the
movie do it gives them a new view of their life. From the mocking of the little
house they both want together with a beat up shed looking house but seeing it
in an optimistic sense. I think the most impressive quality in this movie was Chaplin
and the other characters ability to show situations without words along with Chaplin’s
impressive roller skating. Overall this movie is a symbol of optimism in a time
of sadness.
i like the fact that you brought out the good in this movie. when i watched it i could see the anger and frustration of failure over and over aging. you made it look brighter than that.
