From my favorite movies..

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The Tramp cares for an abandoned child, but events put that relationship in jeopardy. The Kid holds quite well for such an old film but it's definitely not one of Chaplin's best films since it has it's fair share of storytelling problems which don't really affect the movie completely except a small part of it. The acting was good and the story was sentimental for sure but it could have also been much much better as a whole but it still still a nice touch seeing a different side of Charlie Chaplin and raising a kid but also the problems that that responsibility has. (7/10)

Charlie Chalin movies were praised by the critics of that time because a very few movies were made that time and/so their knowledge about cinema was limited . But in this era , all of his films looks bad . This film is old is no excuse. To make the quality of films better , someone in every era has brought some new techniques and innovations. But Chaplin never came out of soulless comedy genre. It is about father-son relationship but not much about that is shown . We just see a father cooks for his son , he saves him when he got involved in a street fight and his son helps him in making money. That's all about their relationship . Chaplin think these are the only things that represent their love for each other . And coming to comedy , it was not funny at all. Just nothing funny. A powerful muscleman tries to puch the tramp but he somehow escapes every time . He hits the wall and it breaks , he hit the pole and it breaks . And the worst part is the dream sequence which doesn't support the storyline but distracts us from it .In a nutshell -Another bad Charlie Chaplin film.

Yes, this is my favorite movie. No, it's not perfect, but I still love it.This was Charlie Chaplin's first, and--still my opinion--best film.The Kid is a marvelous mixture of both humor and drama. It's about a little man (called The Little Tramp) who finds a baby on the street. The Little Tramp reluctantly takes the child, begins taking care of it--and soon enough, the baby is a kid, more or less.The child is taken from him, but they still attempt to get back to each other in this captivating tale of companionship and togetherness.Go watch the movie--if you already have--then watch it again.

This movie reminds me of The Pursuit of Happiness (2006). The only difference is the color of the movie, the duration, 95 years and the switch C. Chaplin/W. Smith. A miserable life for Chaplin here until he finds the baby - his new life. Happiness, in most of the cases, arrives easier to poor people because they know how to enjoy life with less. The trouble is that there are lots of mothers who still abandon their vulnerable children nowadays. And this movie is from 1921! It looks like plenty of parents did not watch this movie so that it could arrive to their hearts or feelings, and think twice the option of abandoning a child. But what kind of life does Chaplin has in the movie? Some dreadful clothes, a miserable room and a few pennies to eat some soup or cupcakes during the day? However, a child could always bring prosperity as it happens in The Kid. They seek for each other constantly and that is true love. It is understandable that a young mother could reach to the point to abandon a child, but what it is valuable in the movie is that after realising what she has committed, she gives charities to the penniless society. Since the encounter with the kid, Chaplin makes it easier to nourish, because we all know that life is better when you are positive, and moreover when you take it as a joke.
