Great movies- City lights

[blue_lotus13]

City Lights was my first Charlie Chaplin film. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. This little film follows the adventures of the little tramp as he falls in love with a blind flower vendor. She believes he is wealthy because he has a wealthy friend who gives him money. I don't want to give away any of the details, but I really found that I got invested in the story.

This is a silent film, and I really got sucked into it. I admired Chaplin's work and thought some of his slight of hand was quite brilliant. He really was a true pioneer and a genius.

The last freelance job I did I bartered for the entire Chaplin collection. I've watched maybe seven or eight so far and there hasn't been a bad film in the bunch. Can't recommend The Great Dictator enough. The payoff at the end is tremendous.
