Sleep is the greatest enemy of work. This episode exhibits it very effectively, in a very funny way. Charlie is a great comedian. None other can match him.
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Remington Tanner Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
The young lady is seen frequently in the Chaplin films of this era. Her name is Edna Purviance and even after she and Charlie were no longer romantically attached and she was not in his films any longer, she continued being payed a salary until her death in 1958.
Everytime I watch these old movies I visualise life was in white and black. I don't know if I am the only person who has this strange feeling of admiration of the simplicity and beauty of that time. Anyway Chaplin's movies were the best reflection of that period and he expresses himself genuinly with his comic gestures that conveyed deeper messages behind laughter.
Can anyone tell me what the opening music is? And any other songs in this version, except the Serenade for Strings by Dvorak, which is already in one of the comments. And I can't tell you how many times in life I've felt like I might as well 32:19. LOL.
I have wondered before when looking at very old photographs from Victorian and Edwardian times, why everyone looks so grim, almost never a smile to be seen. I have read before that because people had to hold a pose for photos for like 10 minutes straight, that it was too difficult to hold the same smile for that long too. But I've also read that reason was debatable, and that one good reason why people looked so grim was because they were. Life was so hard, people didn't have the modern conveniences we have today. People worked much longer back breaking days of labor, both at work and at home. And serious and fatal illnesses were much more common, and çontagious, like smallpox, polio, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, tuberculosis, deadly strains of flu, etc. But, whether that's the reason for unsmiling photos is debatable too, I've read. People had life harder, but they also had much higher tolerances for difficult times back then than we do, and they had more discipline, and more dignity. And, I've seen people smiling in other sources from that era, such as in those real-life street footage videos from the beginning of the 20th century, and in countless films (some very modern) which were set back in that time period. I can't believe that every one of those films got it wrong when showing people smiling, laughing, and being happy. Anyways, I guess that it's not completely certain why no one smiled in very old photographs.
The music's only downfall is it's too modern cinematic. In the theater it would be piano or organ. It would be "live" as the musician is watching the film! Peace, and stay well
