Review of City Lights (1931) by Hesnotdrunk — 25 Oct 2021
Watching this gem reminds you that Chaplin's true greatness lie not in his oustanding humor, but in his humanity. Here, he delivers a heartfelt story that at no point feels manipulative or contrived, even viewing it from a modern lens of emotional overload.
"City Lights" is his Chaplin at his most human. He transcended the medium with silence (even when sound was available) and showed the world what cinema is capable of with moving pictures.
