Review of The Gold Rush (1925) by Chris B — 26 Oct 2011
The Gold Rush along with City Lights (my personal favorite Chaplin film) are probably his most famous masterpieces. Chaplin combines his LittleTramp character, here titled The Lone Prospector, with a touching and equally funny premise.
Some of the most famous and hilarious scenes are found in this film and they include the roll dancing scene, Chaplin turning into a chicken and many others, all which literally make you die with laughter.
No matter who you are or your place in life, Chaplin lifts your spirit and gives just as many laughs as touching and heartfelt pieces all making up masterpiece films! The Gold Rush was Chaplin's first film in which he had full creative control and it is known to be his personal favorite.
It is currently rated as #58 ok the American Film Institutes Top 100 Films of all Time. I cannot say enough of its magnificence!
