Would I have to?
No, I cry at other movies, not here. Oh, no, I love this movie, and I find absolutely nothing wrong with it!
The end is sad, and yet, it is an end that I could wish for all, throughout the film, and one like I could wish for myself. It is sad, indeed, and yet it is fulfilling.
Calvero has exactly what he wanted: success, cheering audience, again!
Terry has no more need to be drawn between Neville and Calvero. Neville, I guess, will marry Terry. Terry will, we hope, continue her world career.
At the first moment, I considered Terry even heartless, when she saw Calvero covered with a white blanket in the wings, and yet continued her dance unabated. But then I saw the glimpse of hope: instead of her losing her feeling in the legs, again, she would be able to pick up from here. Life continues, and it always continues into one direction: forward!
The end? I cried all through it.
This is the first time I've seen this movie, and I kept thinking damn, what a genius, he did it again. I know Chaplin is a giant in film history, but I still think he's underrated.
