Yorumumuz

With Chaplin at his peak, comedy is to be expected. But this renowned classic is also a terrific display of how touching Chaplin could be, combining humor with tenderness, slapstick with longing. One of the comedian’s very best.

The sublime City Lights was Chaplin’s riskiest and most complicated undertaking, a silent film made just as studios were fully committed to sound. Utilising music and sound effects, it was also a marriage of sentiment and slapstick, the elements of which had to mesh with acrobatic precision. Setting the tone is the opening, in which The Tramp endures a series of self-inflicted run-ins with a gigantic civic monument, a scene that is at once side-splittingly funny, risqué, and beautiful.

Here is one of the perfect movies, as well as the apotheosis of Chaplin’s mix of humor and sentiment… As for the Tramp’s relationship with the blind flower girl, it is one of the most moving in cinema, as direct, funny, and heartwarming a depiction of love as one could imagine.

This deeply eccentric film stands as the purest and most sublime of Chaplin’s masterpieces… Funny, bittersweet, and sensitive on levels that few movies can ever hope to reach, City Lights is one of the definitive romances of the big screen, building from episodic slapstick into one of the most moving endings in film.

Renton47's rating of the film Şehir Işıkları

There is technical brilliance in Chaplin but what generates magic is how unconscious we can be of this while viewing. Rewatching scenes out context I was struck by how certain scenes wouldn't at all work with an edit, which might be called synthesis. The comedic and romantic scenes always work in service of one another. But while watching it's poetry - no eye on the technique at all.

Extremely important film and charming in many many ways: From the beautifully lit sets, the great gags in the most memorable boxing match of all time, the deep, yet tacit, philsophical acumen in the attempted suicide scene, the eyes of Virginia Cherrill and the 'eyes' of humanity, so truthfully and clearly evoked by the story. Genuinely poetic and extremely moving, one of the best films on 'giving'.

One of the most influential film in cinematic history. Effortlessly interweaving slapstick and sentiment while documenting the essence of it's time. It's humour is timeless and something that everyone, upper, middle or lower class can enjoy!

One of Chaplin's most unforgettable films and performances: Every scene a secluded little masterwork in its own unfolding on the background of the music, but also embedded in the overall development of the story.

ASHES IN THE HOURGLASS

While it has spellbinding moments such as the Boxing match and the ending that always charges my body with pure emotion, I can't quite put it to the same level as Modern Times or The Great Dictator as this film's gag can get repetitive. How many time must they fall in the water or how many times must he get thrown out of the mansion. They are not quite as ingenious as in those films. To me, it's a lite masterpiece.

Rewatching Chaplin film by film. I still laugh harder at his films than any modern comedy. I.E. the scene where he's drunkenly eating pasta but accidentally begins to eat the identical looking confetti which has fallen on his plate. The entire dining sequence is hilarious. As is the boxing match. Chaplin is not just a master of physical comedy, but somehow, he became and remains an archetype for all things human.

The sound era was well underway when Chaplin made this amazing capstone to his silent film career. Chaplin flawlessly executes a funny, tender, charming romance combining classic "fish out of water" and "mistaken identity" elements in original ways.

Charlie Chaplin's last true silent film (1936's MODERN TIMES had sound, but not dialogue) is one of his greatest works. As his iconic Tramp character, Chaplin meets a blind flower girl, who mistakes him for a millionaire. Head over heels in love, he sets out to raise the money for an eye surgery that could cure her blindness. A classic romance, w/Chaplin's trademark gentle humor.
