The Gold Rush is another charming Chaplin film. The 1925 silent version is the one to watch. Loved the comedy. Loved the special effects. Loved the movie.

This will be my last Chaplin movie from the IMDb top 250 and I can honestly say that I like it. The humor is still outdated, but it was easier to like than City Lights for me. I just like the story, I guess. Honest question: was this the first time that we saw the “I’m so hungry the person with me turns into food-hallucination”? I almost can’t imagine that it was done earlier than 1925, but can’t seem to find the answer on Google. If so, than that alone is super influential (mostly for cartoons :wink:).

Like most Chaplin movies, this is not my cup of tea. I'm not entertained. It's not funny. I learn virtually nothing from a bygone era since the world doesn't feel real. I fall to understand its importance in cinematic history. He's basically the same guy from all his other movies. What kind of acting is this when you're always playing the same character? The narrator makes it worse. Was that how silent movies were screened in theaters back then? What happened to text screens? The only interesting fact is that she is earning her money as a "ball dance girl". What the heck is this? Is that time sort of early exotic dancer?

I'm watching a handful of Chaplin before his films get removed from the Netflix. Might be for the best that this gets taken off of Netflix cause it's a cut with a narrator explaining every thing which takes away so much fun a silent film should have. The rating would be lower if I judged it purely off the narrator cut and not the original silent release

Halfway through The Gold Rush, it becomes clear that its main focus is moreso on the main character’s prospect for love than that for countless riches. Sure, this tramp could possibly boast a first-class wardrobe and the finest gourmet dishes, yet what comes to matter most is the human connection More

Charlie Chaplin plays a nameless lone prospector who travels to Alaska during the 1890s gold rush. During his travel, he runs into a blizzard and seeks refuge in a cabin with two other odd fellows, Jim and Larsen. Once the storm passes, he travels to the town near the Klondike gold region. The prosp More

As hundreds of prospectors rush to the Alaskan permafrost in search of buried fortune, Charlie Chaplin tags along to misguidedly seek their scraps. Entirely unprepared for the harsh climate, he soon finds himself trapped in a small cabin during a snowstorm, along with an on-the-lam criminal and an i More
