Funny aesthetic characteristics of gold rush movies. In this gold rush in the United States, very few people really got rich from it. Most people send their lives to this strange place. This is obviously a tragic story, but it was discovered by Belling as a comedy. This is really his own unique feature. Subtle comedy plot, funny appearance and humorous body movements provide the premise for the philosophical connotation of Chaplin's extraordinary comedy.

A Brief Introduction to the Film Criticism of The Gold Rush

This film fully shows Chaplin's typical style, especially his extraordinary skills in dealing with visual images and pantomime, such as the classic scene of cooking boots, dancing with dogs in a bun and fighting with others while the gun is always aimed at himself, and the cliff house is full of dangers, which has become the object of reference and imitation for future generations. This film combines funny narrative, tragic color and lyrical charm skillfully and evenly, and becomes a masterpiece of Chaplin's mature works.

A lot of social criticism was added to the later works, but it was not as simple and optimistic as this film's direct attention to the little people. For example, this film arranges the tramp Charlie to become a millionaire and win back the beauty. Such a happy ending is not found in his later works. This film is Chaplin's favorite work and one of his most interesting works, ranking among the top ten masterpieces in the world film history.
