CITY LIGHTS (by CHARLES CHAPLIN)

Hi Guyz..... I thought of sharing my views on the movie which i saw recently... Its none other than the Classic Romantic Comedy movie City Lights by the first and best comedian known every end of the world, Charles Spencer Chaplin.

Charles Spencer Chaplin, considered to be one of the most pivotal stars of the early days of Hollywood, lived an interesting life both in front of the camera and behind it.... He's most recognized as the icon of the silent film era, often associated with his popular title "Little Tramp", man with tooth brush mustache, bowler hat, bamboo cane and a funny walk...
At the 1st Oscar (1929), he won a special award for "Versatility and genius in writing, acting, directing and producing" for the film The Circus (1928).

After his release from jail, he found the blind girl got eye sight and running a new flower shop. In the closing scene, the girl discovers that Charlie is not a wealthy duke but only a Tramp and joins with him.

My View

Acting of both Chaplin and the Blind girl was mind blowing and awesome. The closing scene would definitely bring tears in everyones eyes. The comedy adventure done in this film like, the boxing scene by Chaplin, then the way the Millionaire drove his car and many other scenes were outstanding, awesome and fantastic piece of comedy. Watching this film was the enjoyable. Although there were a lot of comedy adventures the Boxing show was mind blowing. Then in the End every eyes was filled with tears. What a master piece by Charlie, The Tramp.
