| User ReviewDillon LWonderfull comedian, without sounds, simply facial expressions, he makes me laugh until i cry. :) |
| User ReviewMaico *Another brilliant film from Charlie Chaplin. It was created by Charlie Chaplin at his own expense for the Liberty Load Committee for theatrical release to help sell U.S. Liberty Bonds during World War I. I like the simpleness of the whole thing. The back drops are all black and there are very few props. I like that about it. Brings it right back to what's important about Chaplin films and that's the excellent comedy. |
| User ReviewJack HI feel a bit strange reviewing a propaganda flick, but I make it an effort to review every film I see, so here I go. Anyway, The Bond is perhaps Charlie's most artistic, poetic, and unique effort. The film entirely consists of expressionistic skits, shot on a set of props with a black backdrop. It's a truly intriguing experience, and it's wonderfully strange to see a film like this, being it is so different than his other films. I'm not the most politically savvy person in the world (in fact, I'm probably the least), so I'm a little indifferent when it comes to the film's message. I didn't really "get" what the film was about, but it was an interesting experience to see Charlie in such a different environment. It wasn't very funny, but I don't think it was really meant to be a laugh riot. All in all, I feel it's a must-see for any hardcore Chaplin fan, if you can manage to forget the propaganda, you'll find the experience very interesting. |
| User ReviewBruno LNot one of Chaplin's best movies, but still pretty good. |
