the circusspoilersthis be my first silent film i have ever see . i be about 12 and surf the channel on television in my parent room then i saw charlie chaplin do very hilarious stuff under the tent and which come to me a the circus . ordinarily and i would dismiss it a another black and white film because i be just a kid at that time . i will not see the circus until many year later when i saw it again on television . it have always leave impression on me since i ever saw it . it kind of sad that chaplin do not really mention this film at all because i believe it be his fine film next to the gold rush . charlie chaplin would again play the little tramp whose tried to escape from police because police believe that he steal someone wallet and which he be falsely accuse of . to hide from police and he just enter the tent and do more hilarious stuff than clown do and audience just react well to the little tramp . a the story progress and we can see the relationship develop between the ringleader daughter and whose be the rider for the circus and the little tramp . it very funny that chaplin can not pass the audition for the circus but be very funny when it come to showtime . it be amazing feat that his famous tightrope walking require about 700 take and which be best part about the movie . we can see the monkey be do some harm to the little tramp . excellent mixing of the suspense and comedy since original tightrope walker have leave and the little tramp replace him . the story will say that the girl fall in love with handsome tightrope walker and leave the little tramp envy with green . but the little tramp get good heart and be witness to their wedding . a the circus leave and the little tramp just sit on some box and pondering for a little bit before pick up piece of paper with star on it and crumple it then throw it away . then just leave the scene . this be very excellent silent film and which be very enjoyable . the circus be few of several silent film that rank on my top 100 but it rank high than silent film on that list . can not think of another enjoyable silent film than this one . or .
