My Review

Watching the 1931 Charlie Chaplin film, City Lights. I've been wanting to see this forever, always had a wall up against watching it for some reason, it's really very good, really nice story, and of course Chaplin wrote, acted and directed it.

This movie actually gives reason for the word hilarious to be in the dictionary, because up until now I really wasn't sure what it was doing there besides gathering dust or being abused by misuse.

There's a scene in the 1931 Charlie Chaplin film "City Lights" which is incredibly beautiful... when the blind woman that Chaplin has been anonymously helping get on her feet to help her father, after getting her eyesight back through his kindness, realizes he is the man when she takes his hand trying to give him a flower and a quarter when he is penniless... this simple moment of returned kindness and the resulting epiphany is what redeems every aspect of the human condition, and makes this movie such a masterpiece.
