In this film The Tramp portrays his usual playful, kind-hearted self. He befriends and falls in love with blind girl. The movie follows the usual formula of slapstick and sweetness and follows through with a wonderful ending. Not only was this comedy meant to amuse, but it was also a commentary and protest to "Talkies". The protest is preformed with inside jokes and complete lack of dialogue.
The camera work of this Chaplin film is awesome and much better then his previous films. The film quality is better as well as the cinematography is its self. The use of sound effects made certain scenes such as the opening with politicians buzzing like bees instead of talking and the boxing scene where the bell steals the show.
I enjoyed the film immensely and after adjusting to the absence of dialogue it's easy to realize why these kinds of films are classics. I suppose it's like the old adage, "Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid."
