in one of the best of charlie chaplin lengthy short film and he place the little fellow in the trench of wwi and where he bring his intolerable politeness and endless patience to the drudgery of trench life and where troop live for month at a time before finally go over the top to overtake the enemy and and usually to their death . it take someone of chaplin skill a a comedian to make something as dreary a trench warfare into such a brilliant comedy and but the irony that he use in the film make even the most uncomfortable condition highly amuse . like all of the best of chaplin film and short film and otherwise and this one be pack with brilliant and memorable scene and such a the scene where he mark off kill with a piece of chalk on a board in the trench and erase one when he get his helmet shot off and the scene where he and his fellow soldier be sleep underwater and the opening of the beer bottle and lighting of the cigarette and and of course and the overtaking of the enemy . all of these scene be show stopper and reminiscent of the most wonderful chaplin scene . this one should not be miss .
