Advantages: Amusing, a slice of cinematic history Disadvantages: (For some) black and white and silent
There cannot be many people in the world, especially the Western one, who have not heard of Charlie Chaplin. His legacy to the film industry is astonishing and it is amazing to consider what he achieved at a time when technology was virtually non-existent. Born in London in 1889, he acted in, directed, produced and even scripted his own films, which brought humour to the world that was suffering during and after the First World War. This collection of DVDs bring together his work for a modern audience to watch. This particular volume contains four short films: The Champion (1915), In the Park (1915), A Jitney Elopement (1915) and Triple Trouble (1918) brought to us from Essanay Studios.
The Champion
This is probably the most famous film on this DVD. In it, Charlieplays a down and out walking along the street with his dog. Then ...
In Dawn of the Dumb, Charlie Brooker makes it very clear that he is angry. About television, about celebrity culture, about politics, about your children and, frankly, about you.

If its covers were to be closed too tightly, it could collapse under the weight of its own compressed wit and suck your bookshelves into a black hole of rude words and pithy observations about contestants on Big Brother ...
Advantages: Committed performances and a couple of hours of enjoyable brain candy. Disadvantages: Toothless satire and a lack of detail.
're going to get to a real critique of US foreign policy, the film stops abruptly.
The characterisation is built on personality overcoming logic. Sorkin treats his leading man's character flaws (alcoholism, drug use and casual misogyny - he hires his all-female administrative staff on the basis of their looks) as amusing personality traits that make him such a colourful character. He also plays the many faux pas made by Charlie and his colleagues for laughs, despite their potential to undo all their good work. Gust Avrakatos is completely socially inept and has serious anger management issues, while Joanne Herring is a brassy, interfering busybody who won't take "no" for an answer. Peripheral characters aren't developed sufficiently, so Charlie's personal assistant Bonnie and his "jailbait" secretaries feel like stereotypes and there are too ...
