okay . first and in all honesty i must point out that i usually prefer the movie of buster keaton and harold lloyd and but i have watch quite a few chaplin film recently . while this film isn not quite as good a a few of his late film ( such a city light ) and this be still a good film and very lovely to watch with a real artistic touch by writer or director or director or musical score creator and actor chaplin be truly outstanding . he at least deserve a lot of praise for be so versatile . so and despite it beauty why do i only give it a 7. well and aside from some very funny slapstick moment and there be and once again and a lot of schmaltzy moment and the film be jam pack with pathos . in other word and the movie try very very very hard to be poignant and touching and i be the type of person that prefer a little more humor and a little less of the sappy hero . i know this isnt the opinion of everyone so if you like when he tug at your heartstrings and help a damsel in distress ( yet again ) and then you will be thrill . i just think i would see this theme one time too many . by the way chaplin be well know for be very obsessive compulsive about his film do scene again and again to get it just right . well and he make a big blunder here and i be surprise it wasn not catch . while do the very funny high wire act and his right pant leg come off while he be hold on to the pole for balance and monkey be climb all on and around him . then and when the shot cut back and the pant leg be back on . oops . this doesn not spoil the movie at all it just a funny little mistake . or and maybe and one of the cute monkey crawl all over him during this scene put his pant leg back on him . pps only a few week after i first write this review and i have see about 8 more chaplin movie . after each one and my appreciation for his talent increase . in hindsight and i think a score of 8 be more in order . while it true i be not much for pathos and i must acknowledge his amazing talent .
