This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story tells the tramp but the necessary precautions for eye surgery by a florist, an ideal landscape for the star to create emotions and laughter-filled scenes ... To become a rescue of a millionaire prone to committing suicide, working in the hands of Tramp, street-riding, boxing, the role of rich man. The message is silent, appropriate universal: love is blinded ...The film is very important from an artistic point of view

If you've ever felt you should one day watch a Charlie Chaplin film (or a silent film in general) and you're a rom-com fan, then this is the one for you! It is even credited as a "Comedy Romance" in the opening credits, and is among the very first of the genre. Chaplin, in his persona of The Tramp (replete with disconcertingly Hitler-y moustache), falls in love with a beautiful flower seller (Virginia Sherrill). She is blind, and mistakes him for a wealthy benefactor. Across the course of their love story, the Tramp goes from low to high to low to very low and ultimately, to one of the purest moments of joy ever shown on screen. It's funny, it's charming, it's wacky, and above all, it is dreamily romantic. A true classic, in every sense of the word.This review appears in Romantic Intentions Quarterly #1.

City Lights (1931) is not only Charles Chaplin's great achievement but it also happens to be one of my top ten favorite films of all time. The emotion and effort that Chaplin put into this film cannot be recreated or matched by anyone. A classic tale about the Little Tramp giving up his livelihood for the benefit of others. Filmed during the height of the Great Depression the situation of life in America has never been caught like this before.The Tramp is hoboing around town doing whatever odd jobs he can find. One day during one of his outings he meets an attractive woman who has an eye sight problem. Smitten, the Tramp vows that she'll see once again. So, he does whatever he has to do to get this young woman to see. He befriends a wealthy drunkard after he saves his life. The problem is that he only recognizes him when he's sloshed out of his gourd. What really moves this film is the great lengths that the Tramp will put his body through for love. When the final scene is shown, you'll understand why many people (including myself) have called this one of the greatest films ever made. Pure magic.
