## Description

Charlie Chaplin was already an international star when he decided to break out of the short-film format and make his first full-length feature. The Kid doesn t merely show Chaplin at a turning point, when he proved that he was a serious film director it remains an expressive masterwork of silent cinema. In it, he stars as his lovable Tramp character, this time raising an orphan (a remarkable young Jackie Coogan) he has rescued from the streets. Chaplin and Coogan make a miraculous pair in this nimble marriage of sentiment and slapstick, a film that is, as its opening title card states, a picture with a smile and perhaps, a tear. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES - New 4K digital restoration of Charlie Chaplin s 1972 rerelease version of the film, featuring an original score by Chaplin, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack - New audio commentary featuring Chaplin historian Charles Maland - Jackie Coogan: The First Child Star, a new video essay by Chaplin historian Lisa Haven - A Study in Undercranking, a new piece featuring silent-film specialist Ben Model - Interviews with Coogan and actor Lita Grey Chaplin - Excerpted audio interviews with cinematographer Rollie Totheroh and film distributor Mo Rothman - Deleted scenes and titles from the original 1921 version of The Kid - Charlie on the Ocean, a 1921 newsreel documenting Chaplin s first return trip to Europe - Footage of Chaplin conducting his score for The Kid - Nice and Friendly, a 1922 silent short featuring Chaplin and Coogan, presented with a new score by composer Timothy Brock - Trailers - PLUS: An essay by film historian Tom Gunning

Review: Charlie at his best - A mesmerizing Chaplin classic at your fingertips to enjoy and share again and again
Review: To preface, this is the first silent film i have ever experienced and the movie spoke in more ways than modern film can. - General Description Charlie "The Tramp" Chaplain happens upon a baby (The Kid) that he ultimately ends up raising. Through a series of events the kid's mother is trying to locate that baby years later. Music: 10/10 -- very bright and colorful sound track, that allowed for the expressions of the character to transcend. From speedy romp music, to slow melancholy, all the way to riveting fight music. This score truly plucks your emotion in a way that makes you feel more into that scene. Story:9/10 -- Premise of the story is sad and somber. Mother has child with a man, he abandons her, she abandons the child. The tramp finds the kid in an alley and tries to ditch him like the plague. The universe has a funny way of showing Chaplain that this is meant to be. Fast forward 5 years. The mother finds herself prominent in the entertainment industry, but longing for the one thing she can never have back -her baby. What will the mother do if she were to know her child is right under her nose this whole time. Watch to find out. Acting: 10/10 -- For me this is a tough category, by my interpretation a lot of acting comes from mannerisms, expressions, and delivery of the message their character has. Each and every character in this movie felt extremely unique (to their world) and had impact. From the nurse and doctor in the opening scene, all the way to dreamland each character is able to convey their role to utmost certainty without a word ever being spoken. You can see that body language truly does speak volumes, when used properly. This is a skill often forgotten in current films. Overall Score: 9.7/10 Explanation of grading. the music being top notch really exemplified what the story was reaching at. Overall the premise of the story is simple which allowed for the comedy, and sadness to be felt all the more while not being convoluted. The cohesion of everything was able to take simple movements, and simple technology from 1920s and turn this into a timeless classic that even a new viewer like myself can enjoy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The Kid" - One of Chaplin's Best
*by F***T on June 27, 2009*

This is a wonderful two disc set; the first disc containing the movie itself, restored and with a musical score composed by Chaplin in the early 1970's for the re-release of the film. The story itself concerns an unwed mother who can't keep her child. She writes a note and leaves the child where he might be found. The child is found by the Little Tramp (Charles Chaplin) who tries to find someone to take the baby. Eventually he keeps the child and claims it as his own. He brings up the child in abject poverty, and the affection and caring between the two makes this a very touching film. Probably the most heart-wrenching scene in all Chaplin films, is in "the Kid." The child at one point is being taken away from the Tramp when it is discovered that he is not the child's real father. The child (Jackie Coogan) is crying pitifully and reaching out to the Tramp as he is being taken away from the only home and parent he has ever known. The film includes comedy, of course, but the pathos and sweetness of the film makes it one of my all time favorites. On the second disc, there are many supplementary features, the first is a short documentary by David Robinson, Chaplin's biographer which sets the film in its historical perspective and background. This disc also includes deleted scenes, several shorts starring Jackie Coogan and Chaplin, one is footage of Chaplin recording the new musical score in 1972. A longer feature included is "My Boy," starring Jackie Coogan and running 55 minutes. A feature I truly enjoyed is "How to Make Movies" recorded in 1918 and showing Chaplin's studio and a little bit "behind the scenes" of what went into making movies in that era. One interesting observation on my part, is that I have a hard time believing that this movie was made in 1921! It seems so fresh and timeless. Part of that may be due to the beautiful musical score and restoration of the film, but the story is so touching and well-acted that you forget that it is a silent film. Altogether, this is an excellent DVD set, essential to every Chaplin fan or vintage movie fan.
