Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU This film is a masterpiece, a masterpiece of silent movies, though in 1988 a music score by Charlie Chaplin was added to the film, with several instruments and not the traditionally improvised piano music of the 1920s and 30s. The music gives some dynamism and density to the film itself.The actors are absolutely fabulous and thus the story without words is quite realistic and poignantly effective. Imagine that tramp Charlie Chaplin is falling in love with a street flower girl who is blind on top of it. He is going to play the gentleman and she is going to fall for his voice and his good manners like kissing her hand. But how can he help her?In the same period, in fact the same day he saves a millionaire from suicide in the most dramatically hilarious way and the millionaire takes him home and becomes his friend when he is drunk in the evening, but he rejects him in the morning when he is sober. Difficult to cultivate a friendship in such conditions; But Charlie Chaplin is patient and benevolent. So with a little bit of goodwill he manages to benefit from this millionaire of his every night.One night though, in the midst of a burglary against the millionaire he is given one thousand dollars for the girl but the delivery to the girl is problematic because he is chased by the whole police of the City of New York and the millionaire who was hit on the head has lost all memory - of course. But Charlie Chaplin delivers the money for the rent and for the surgery, a miracle surgery in Switzerland that is supposed to giver the girl her sight back.But after delivering the money at 8:00 in the morning he is chased again by cops and this time NYPD wins and he is taken to prison for a burglary and a theft he has not committed. When he gets out of prison in a pretty bad shape one of the very first persons he looks for and he encounters is the flower girl who is no longer selling flowers in the street but is working in a flower shop. At first she does not recognize him but then she does the way blind people do, by recognizing the voice and by touching the man a little. And that's the end.Will there be a salvation for Charlie Chaplin? We do not know. But Charlie Chaplin is a great romantic who plays naivety to please an audience that is victimized by the great crisis of 1929. How can a homeless person among millions of unemployed and homeless people survive without any popular soup and Salvation Army? But even more difficult right under the fully implemented prohibition amendment how can all, the rich have all the alcohol they have and be drunk every night? But being naïve is probably the only way to survive in this situation and bringing some soothing entertainment to people who have it a lot harder than Charlie Chaplin himself.Enjoy the film that is maybe slightly slow at times due to the fact it is a silent film and they have not remastered the speed, though they added a sound track.Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU

Filmboost1 This is one of my best Top 20 Film ever !!! It is not possible for me to describe this film.Everyone should know how many times he filmed some scenes.Charly Chaplin has invested so much time making this film.Nowadays it is almost impossible to make such a magnificent film

sophieberger One of my favorites, City of Lights, was a Charlie Chaplin that came out in 1933. Charlie Chaplin plays a broke man who wonders the street with little purpose. That is until he meets a poor blind girl who sells flower. Charlie is immediately mesmerized by the girl and was willing to do anything for her. In order to save her from a large debt, he faces challenges to earn money and gives up a life for himself to make her happy. The entire film not only was full of laughs but also moments of tears. With a heart- warming ending, I highly recommend Charlie Chaplin's City of Lights.
