It's a cute little story and certainly my favorite silent Chaplin movie. The short runtime helps, because normally I fail to keep my attention for longer periods when there's no dialogue. The most impressive thing for me is, that this is more than 100 years old and is still fun to watch. It blows my mind just to think about it. I mean, even The Kid has been dead for 29 years and here I am, still watching this iconic little movie on the internet. That's amazing in itself.

Charlie Chaplin was a genius. It's probably a 9 to 10 for a silent movie but of course Charlie himself said it would never be the same with talkies. The little boy streaks the show but the angel dream scene was complete nonsense, thus the 7 rating.

Two Little Tramps

The most amazing thing about Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid is that it was released in January of 1921. That makes this film 100 years More

Cute and funny. It is difficult to say anything new from this movie or Charles Chaplin. He just delivers a complete story with a lot of different elements. Remarkable is also the performance of Jackie Coogan.
