The Kid
Dir: Charlie Chaplin Stars: Charlie Chaplin IMDB #98 This is my first Charlie Chaplin movie...and I am not as impressed as I was when I started watching Buster Keaton films. There is about 6-7 minutes of engaging, surprising, exciting, and devastating occurrences in this film, mostly surrounding when the authorities come to take the orphan boy away from Chaplin...but otherwise, the film is filled with silly, simplistic hijinks that just never interested me. Throughout the best Buster Keaton, you are really interested into finding out what happens next. In this film...it felt meandering and unfocused...until it wasn't, and then it shined. C+ |
