This was a great movie. It was Charlie Chaplin's last silent film and one of his last films in general. I've already mentioned that I'm not a big fan of silent films, but this is a good one. Charlie Chaplin always puts a lot of physical comedy into his films, which makes them fun to watch. Maybe I just don't like silent dramas, because silent comedies are typically alright. This movie is funny, but also very heartwarming. Chaplin, in his ever famous character-The Tramp (in this time period tramp refered to a homeless person, not a skanky girl, so think Lady & The Tramp). He falls in love with this blind girl, who mistakes him as a rich man. Chaplin also meets a rich man and they become friends... or at least they are friends while the man is drunk, but then when he sobers up, he can't ever remember Chaplin and is mean to him, until the next party. Then the blind girl has a surgery and is no longer blind, she waits for her 'rich' suitor to come, but the 'rich' is actually homeless and incredibly poor. But she recognizes him anyways and they love each other! So heartwarming :) And it's really funny. So, this is one of the few that I am actually recommending that you watch.
