Gold Rush 1925 vs Silent Version

Gold Rush: Key Points Extensive use of close-ups. Sophisticated composition. Sophisticated special effects. Film quality and camera mechanism prevented camera movement. Episodic story sequence similar to the 20 minute long shorts Chaplin rose to fame in. Characters other than The Little Fellow are simple caricatures.

City Lights: Act 1 The Little Fellow o A tramp who is mistaken for a millionaire by a blind flower girl. Flower Girl o Living in poverty she supports herself and her grandmother selling flowers on a street corner. Millionaire o A rich drunk, who when sober forgets what he did while he was drunk.

City Lights: Act 2 The Night Club

City Lights: Act 2 A Job

City Lights: Act 2 A Scheme

City Lights: Act 3 A Solution

City Lights: Act 3 AnEnding or Beginning?

City Lights: Act 3 Love at first sight Charles Chaplin reshot the scene 342 times, as he could not find a satisfactory way of showing that the blind flower-girl thought that the mute tramp was wealthy

City Lights Chaplin's films age so well, I think, because his situations grow out of basic human hungers such as lust, greed, avarice. Those are the hungers on the other side, of course -- the side inhabited by policemen, millionaires, mayors and boxing promoters. All Charlie sends up against them Is his little Tramp, eternally hopeful, concerned only with escaping from the dilemma of the moment. Roger Ebert / February 25, 1972

City Lights: Key Points Extensive use of close-ups. Sophisticated composition. Sophisticated plot development. Sophisticated ending. Characters other than The Little Fellow are simple caricatures.
