The Circus (1928)
7/10
A good silent movie
30 March 2011
The circus was my first silent film and to my surprise I really enjoyed it. Seeing how humor has changed over the last eighty years really somewhat saddened me.

This film reminds me of a truly simpler time. I found the relationship between Charlie Chaplin and the ring leader truly funny. Although Charlie is a very clumsy character he is also very funny.

This film was made nearly seventy years before I was born and it amazes me how the comedy still stands up and how you can even have a comedy with a single word. I can relate this form of comedy to Loony Toons or Bugs Bunny.
