Just watched for first time


I just finished watching the kid and it is now both my favorite silent film and my favorite Chaplin film. My favorite part was the fighting scene

Watching it again right now. It's my number two all time, just edged out by City Lights.

I would agree with the enormous talent Mr. Chaplin demonstrated in all of his films. In every aspect of filmmaking he seemed to bring his very best. For a man in his private life seemed to be, at times, out of control he presented himself in film to be very much in control.He was a very complex man?.

Ever seen the 1992 biopic starring Robert Downey Jr? Apparently it's mostly accurate, and it affirms that, yes, Chaplin was a complex individual.

Thank you for your suggestion. It has been many years since I have seen the 1992 film about Chaplin. I shall make a point to revisit it again soon. Thank you
