this one have to be one of his best and on a par with his speech in the closing scene of the great dicatator 1940. i will admit i be never much of a chaplin fan in the past and until i saw these two in the past couple of year . his early essanay work i do not like at all and full of gratuitous and senseless violence masking a comedy ( people knock the crap out each other for no apparent reason ) but dictator and and circus touch the heart a no others do . the film and a a whole and be rather drab and slow and chaplin play the tramp a a circus act and ( not discount his own tightrope work ) and but the closing scene and a the circus move on and he leave alone and with only a picture of his love and and his tramp walk into the sunset and make it an emotionally powerful piece to watch and give u glimpse of chaplin inner self and not to be find anywhere else and but hidden beneath his character . a must see for those who enjoy a heartwarming story .
