City Lights (1931) - Movie Review

City Lights is a silent film directed by, written and starring Charlie Chaplin. This film depicts The Tramp and his everlasting struggle to make ends meets.

This film is a classic and I gotta say I expected to hate this film but I really enjoyed this film and I found it pretty funny, in my opinion this is the dawn of comedy in movies.

There is not much to this film in terms of plot as I mentioned it is about Charlie Chaplin (The Tramp) basically living his life and the difficulties that he makes humour out of. He also makes a new best friend and possibly a romance.

On IMDB this film is ranked the #34 best film of all time (as of now) and I have to say I think that is a little overrated. Now City Lights is the only Chaplin film I have seen but I really want to watch the others and I will review them when I see them.




Overall I really enjoyed City Lights
I'm going to give it a grade some people might find too low but it is a lot higher than most comedies
I'm going to give City Lights
