Film Research

1. Charlie Chaplin is that his films continue to hold up, to attract and delight audiences. (Ebert)


2. I go to a lot of movies, and I can't remember the last time I heard a paying audience actually applaud at the end of a film. But this one did. (Ebert)



3. The iconic depiction of Chaplin working frantically to keep up with an assembly line inspired later comedy routines including Disney's Der Fuehrer's Face, an episode of I Love Lucy titled "Job Switching". (Wikipedia)


4. once again fell under its eerie spell. (Ebert)


5. Lang filmed for nearly a year, driven by obsession, often cruel to his colleagues, a perfectionist madman, and the result is one of those seminal films without which the others cannot be fully appreciated. (Ebert)


6. "Metropolis'' has not existed for years in the version that Lang completed. (Ebert)
