8/10
Charlie Chaplin starts making his imprint.

The Tramp was one of the earliest Charlie Chaplin movies, that adopted a blend of slapstick and heart that he would become so well known for. The Tramp (Chaplin) is just walking down the road, when he saves a girl (Edna Purviance) from some hobos. He goes to work for Purviance's father (and doesn't do so well), and saves the family from hobos again. 1915 was the year that Chaplin started using the tramp character well, and would continue to do so until The Great Dictator. The Tramp's ending is almost sad, but in a way satisfying. Chaplin was really starting to go strong with this film. For Chaplin fans, I can highly recommend this.
