Review of The Gold Rush (1925) by Brandon W — 12 Oct 2011
A true gem of the silent era, as all of Chaplin's films were, the blend of comedy and romance is so well-done that all other films like it or inspired by it just pale in comparison. Chaplin, himself, as The Tramp just plain delights in his antics.
The highlight sequences are all iconic, whether it be the boot-eating scene or the hilarious bit where the miner attempts to kick the tramp out, but the wind from the howling snowy plains say otherwise.
My favorite part, however, is where Georgia the saloon girl asks The Tramp to dance the Sleeping Beauty waltz to infuriate a suitor. True cinematic magic as only Charlie Chaplin can make.
