1.0 out of 5 stars Very early Chaplin, May 17, 1999

This review is from: Best of Charlie Chaplin (Silent) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The film is so grainy I found all 7 tapes unwatchable. Felt ripped off since the title indicates "best of" chaplin. This is only for diehard film students.

This review is from: Best of Charlie Chaplin (Silent) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Some may find the grainy quality of Chaplin's early movies to be disappointing. However, we must look at the time in which they were made.

A year ago when I brought to my family the first Chaplin movie, 9 year old Katie said, "this will be boring.....there's no talking!!!" After watching "The Gold Rush" she and her 12 year old brother were enchanted! Since then, they have become "Charlie" fans, and the older the film, the better.

The pathos that Charlie brings to ALL his films knows no boundaries. In our modern day life, it is easy to want the bells and whistles of modern films, BUT the bells and whistles were NOT available 85 years ago! These movies are priceless, and well worth watching. And these movies appeal to all, much like Shakespeare's plays appeal to all eho care to learn.
