OLDIE GOLDIES: The Kid (1921)

For this week's "Oldie Goldies" I finally watched my first silent film - The Kid. Having never been exposed to Chaplin before, I was pleasantly surpised by how engaging the film was. It really showed how effective you can be with mere facial expressions and physical comedy.



Classic Scene
"Rooftop Pursuit"


Classic Characters
The Kid (Jack Coogan)

The Tramp (Charlie Chaplin)


Classic Music

Did you know?
The film made Coogan, then a vaudeville performer, into the first major child star of the movies.

Those techniques likewise served to become easy way to understand that some people have a similar interest like my very own to grasp significantly more when considering this issue. I know there are many more pleasurable periods ahead for those who see your blog. click here – alternative medicine institute calcutta gomovies free
