Review of The Gold Rush (1925) by Becky R — 29 Feb 2008
Ever since seeing "City Lights", I've been amazed at Chaplin's ability to create highly dramatic scenes combined with slapstick comedy. "Gold Rush" is another prime example of a truly romantic tale of Boy seeks Girl, and, as opposed to romantic comedies, it is actually heartbreaking.
We know the Tramp will triumph, but Chaplin is able to evoke a multitude of emotions from his audience, making the ride toward the finale worth every second.
