Review of The Gold Rush (1925) by Hunter D — 09 Mar 2009

The word "genius" is thrown around more often than Paris Hilton nowadays, but when you consider the efforts the great Charlie Chaplin went through for every single one of his films, then it's no wonder that he's always one of the first movie stars that comes to mind whenever that word is mentioned. The man directed, wrote, acted in, produced, composed the music. What makes that all the more remarkable is that the result is a really sweet and joyous little movie that showcases one of the most gifted physical comedians to ever grace the silver screen. Chaplin's irresistible charm and magic will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face and almost certainly a little pang to your heart.

I guarantee your love and appreciation for classic cinema will be heightened after experiencing all over again, or even for the first time, the indescribable feeling one gets from being in the wonderful world of a Charles Chaplin movie.
