Silent Movie

Upon seeing Charlie Chaplin work for the first time in the short film Police, I was amazed that even over 90 years later his movies remain comical and entertaining. While Chaplin’s films were silent, with various subtitles it was fairly straightforward and even without sound viewers can easily follow the story line. In addition the subject of theft and people lacking money is one that has been with man for much of our existence and allowed viewers in no matter what time period to understand the main character plight.
