Charlie Chaplin may be praised for his work nowadays, and rightly so, he was a pioneer in the silent film era. However, do his films stand out in today's standards: no. I'm not saying I disliked the film, I very well respect it, but it just didn't captivate me as much as I would of hoped for. City Lights may be the older version of Mr. Bean; a slapstick comedy with very little use of intellect.
City Lights unfortunately didn't sit well with me, nor did it really entice me to chase more of Charlie Chaplin films. It wasn't bad, nor was it boring, I just didn't find much joy in what is considered one of the 'best brads of comedy'. Whilst I don't speak for everyone, this film just won't be for everyone.
