I am absolutely thrilled and excited to see this short video which reflects the works of Charles Spencer Chaplin. It is a nice compliment and a fitting tribute to see his work influencing creative minds alike till this day in the theatre industry. Whereas stand up comedy is an apparition of entertainment; I believe silent movies brings out those emotions from the audience without having anything said.
I thought the character's demeanour (The Tramp portrayed by Alexandra Queen) echoed the classic rags-to-riches story, but, eventually, after finding 'treasure' the tramp makes way for the meteoric rise to mischievousness ...again. While the character's outfit gave it an edge, the facial emotions and actions depicted by Alexandra are enough to make you believe the character's wrong-doing is innocently based on their curiosity.
Although each scene is amusing and satisfying to watch, we observe that each segment of the film is merged in with auditorily pleasing soft-to-medium piano playing. The music is almost like a language communicating with the audience to draw out and bring forth those emotions. The Piano is intertwined with the finely tuned comic performance delivered by the actor. Even though it sounds harmonious and pleasing it does leave you with a feeling of intense longing for more with what you are already dosed with, but nevertheless it does deliver the correct amount of musical substance we need.
The character was immensely fun to watch especially the mood of the character is portrayed through an artistic temperament which Alexandra Queen reflects very well. Different applications of moodiness is applied at the correct times, from sad, then angry the next, then joyous, then irritable and so on and so forth. The quality and nature of the character makes you want more and more, in particular, when struggling to cope with the pressures of the uniformed officer and despite being warned, the character stages multiple comebacks in an irresponsibly playful naughty behaviour.
As the film comes to a closing, the character mischievously reassures the audience they will return to unfold the next event as the 'Tramp' and the 'Maid' run off together into the distance and I certainly look forward to watching this character's next mischievous development.
