OK, so we had to watch The Kid in media class the other day. It was my first experience watching a silent film. I would have to say that I liked it quite a bit. Although there was no talking you were still able to understand what was going on. Some points in the movie they had little captions so that if you were slightly lost you could figure out what was going. The music adds a slight spark to the scene and shows the characters in different lights. When there was something going on, the music showers the scene with its graceful melody. It would set the scene up so you could get a feel of what was going on. Another funny thing about this film is the fact that its so old that there was only one type of camera angle, fading out and in.
Now would I actually recommend this movie to someone else, yes. I much so liked the film although it is not your typical 21st century movie it
is a classic. It was nice to watch a movie that was simple but entertaining. The Kid was very entertaining. It had its sad emotional parts and some very funny ones. I'm sure if you were to watch this movie you would be entertained although some parts may leave bored because there is no sound. I give this movie 3 1/2 Charlie Chaplins out 5
