Review of The Gold Rush (1925) by Maxwell S — 26 Sep 2012
Chaplin is certainly one of the greatest ever to grace the comedy genre, only to be topped by Keaton and, the master, Jacques Tati. Chaplin is able to show depth and humor (each in there highest form) and everything in between.
While I wouldn't consider The Gold Rush to be "his" masterpiece rather than "a" masterpiece. It lacks certain genius stretches of imagination that his other films. But, this might be his funniest.
The humor and extended depth (meaning other than the constant depth of the scenario/whole film) don't always come at the same time, but when they do, it's a pleasant mix.
