Well the plot is very simple, an escaped convict is set free by the policeman himself. But, that's not important. It's the techniques the genius master storyteller employs.
There is only three shots in the opening to show us that a prisoner has escaped and roaming around as a different person. We see the reward poster of chaplin's picture and someone after taking bath in the river, comes out to change clothes and he is petrified by seeing a prisoner's costumes instead.
Then he goes as a pastor and so on but the thing with chaplin is the little nuances and he is such a detailer and knows people behavior very well. You could see many different characters like kids, adults of all shapes etc.., What i meant to say is that he is so good with the craft, writing and also knows human behavior and values so much that you cant resist praising.
A gifted filmmaker and the cinema is so privileged.
Enjoyable overall, those little smiles and excitement is all over the movie.
