“I thought you was a chicken” is probably my favorite intertitle ever
sanFeb 18, 2022Nothing can better portray the human condition than two hungry dudes gathered around the fire eating a boiled shoe. Herzog took notes.
CinemaVoid 🏴☠️Mar 3, 2018On this viewing, I was struck by the rigorous logic required to convey information and tell a story without any dialogue. For the plot to work, Georgia has to find out the Tramp loves her, so therefore she has to find her picture under his pillow. Why would she go to the…

Absolutely beautiful. One of the most perfect works of the cinema, in which the desire for gold, the lurch for success, even the hopes and dreams of the future of the average citizen is merely the sometimes (if not often) misguided redirection of the desire just to be…

Sydney🚀Jan 17, 2025What is more valuable than gold? There’s something about this that I can never quite put into words. It’s undeniably a significant work in its own right, with that classic aura that naturally elevates its value simply through its name. Yet, there’s something deeper, more…

Silent films aren't exactly the most entertaining films to watch, but some do hold up, and Charlie Chaplin is proof of that. I do prefer City Lights and Modern Times, but Gold Rush has that same physical comedy, funny lines, and gags. It gets sad when Georgia doesn't show up too.
Eye Cinc lovedThe Gold RushA classic from 100 years ago is really amazing the work of this genius, how after a century he still makes laugh to the audience. And watching in a movie theater the day of the premiere one hundred years after is so special.
Jordan Molinari-Suggs is "meh" onThe Gold RushIt was pretty entertaining and definitely good for its time. Since it was silent it’s hard to follow if you’re not paying attention the whole time so it was sort of confusing

Honestly never expected to enjoy a silent black and white movie but it was quite entertaining! Didn’t really like Georgia unfortunately
Lily Sesko lovedThe Gold RushThis is the kind of film you have to appreciate in order to enjoy the movie and the music. It’s a piece of art.
Brayan Ksc Everything Beyond lovedThe Gold RushGreat and 100th anniversary 4K remastered version is amazing, the audio and video is also surprising.

This comedy gem features some of [Chaplin's] funniest scenes, including him eating his boot.
