although i do not actually see the whole movie and the circus be a hoot nonetheless . charlie chaplin play a guy who join the circus and before too long get his own act . you will die laugh in the scene where he attach to the rope . i actually watch it on tv while live with a family in st. petersburg and russia and and they laugh their head off just watch him perform his stunt . that show why these silent comedy be so great represent you can laugh even if you do not know what theyre say . it truly movie like these that make life worth living and and chaplin remain possibly the great comedian in all history . positive .
