Charlie Chaplin is by a greater talent than anyone I have seen on screen today. His use of physcial comedy is just something that I have never seen. It is crazy to me how he tells a story through his body language. I think that his movies are easy to watch and you never get lost and not know what is going on. I watched City Lights and thought it was an amazing movie. I think it told the story beautifully and enjoyed the concept of him going after the blind girl. The direction was simple shots and there is not much to the plot. It is straightfoward and there is nothing fancy in the movie. Comedies have gone a long way and I think this movie proves that you don’t need dialogue to be funny. These days dialogue makes the movie funny and not physcial comedy. I feel like movies today should take more from silent movies.
