" Date: 6/6/2021 Viewed: Criterion Channel First Viewing Note: I love Charlie Chaplin as both an actor and a filmmaker, but I still haven't seen all of his movies. I finally had the time to watch this film thanks to Film Club's Secret Cinema. I'm glad that I watched it because I really enjoy it. Limelight is a solid movie with a great story about a fading comedian helping a despondent ballet dancer learning on how to walk again. I really like the optimistic tone of the story. The story is fil"

" Notes: It was the final film that Charles Chaplin produced in America before moving to Europe after being accused of being communist and many consider it as his last masterpiece and therefore I was really eager to check it out.

"A beautiful love story of a young dancer and an old clown. Chaplin is incredible in the lead and behind the camera. Claire Bloom is entirely enchanting, so much so that I can't believe she wasn't in more movies."

"17.2. 2020 An aged and forgotten comedian Calvero prevents a young woman from committing a suicide and encourages her to continue her career as a ballerina. Calvero himself desperately tries to become relevant again and his personal pride becomes one of his biggest obstacles. "Limelight" is an incredibly rich film. It is obviously partly based on Chaplin's own life so basically he is playing two different characters: Calvero and himself. There are also some references to the Little Tramp whic"
