	The Kid (1921 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kid is a 1921 Charlie Chaplin film.
		Audiences of the time were deeply affected by the film and the relationship of the Kid with the much-loved Tramp character, from whom they had not previously seen such emotional depth.
		Chaplin edited and reissued the film in 1971, and he composed a new musical score (considered by many to be one of his finest).

		The film opened with a title 'A Picture with a Mmile - Perhaps a Tear.' Although previous Chaplin films had introduced sentiment and pathos, this was the first time that anyone had risked mingling a highly dramatic near-tragic story with comedy and farce.
		Fearing that her lawyers might try to seize the film, Chaplin smuggled 500 reels of film to Salt Lake City where the picture was cut in a hotel room with only a small elamentary cutting machine on which to view the material.
		The film, his comic invention and Jackie Coogan's remarkable performance have lost none of their power - it is one of the most durable of all silent movies.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Kid
		The Kid blossomed out of the disintegration of Charlie Chaplin's marriage to Mildred Harris and the death of their infant son, both traumatic events that served as grist for Chaplin's creative mill and ended a troubling dry spell.
		It was Chaplin's feature film debut as a director, and one of the finest examples of the mix of slapstick and pathos that had already made his Tramp character an icon around the world.
		The situation comes to a head when social workers discover the kid isn't the Tramp's son and try to forcibly remove the youngster to an orphan's asylum, leading to a rooftop chase in which the Tramp attempts to rescue the heartbroken boy from the clutches of the authorities.

		David Cook suggests in his book, A History of Narrative Film, that the predominantly Jewish moviemakers were eager to cater to their mainly Christian audience, so when church boards and officials called for reform, the moguls responded.
		Silent film was a perfect vehicle for visual slapstick gags, which required no dialogue to convey their shock value.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : The Kid: The Chaplin Collection
		In the film, the Tramp finds and cares for a child (Coogan, whom Chaplin discovered on a Los Angeles vaudeville stage) abandoned in a limousine by his unwed and destitute mother (Edna Purviance).
		It displays a humanism that seemed to well up from memories of his own hard upbringing in the London slums, as if he was determined to revisit and revise the poverty and unhappiness of his childhood by giving it the happy endings he could guarantee only in art.
		And from The Kid forward, separating Chaplin's filmmaking from his personal life — his ego, his personal and political crises, the private hagiography that drove him to fetishize his self-image in celluloid throughout his career — is like cleaving the dairy from cheese.

	Navarro's Silent Film Guide - Movie Reviews - The Kid
		THE KID (1921) Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Coogan embrace during a desperate scene in this, Chaplin's first masterpiece.
		What follows is a frenzied chase sequence in which Jackie is torn from the tramp's arms and penned in an orphanage truck, wails pitifully with arms outstretched towards his "father," and Chaplin responds by clambering across the neighborhood rooftops, pursuing the truck, jumping onto its bed and disabling its startled driver.
		The scene where Jackie is taken from the tramp, and he pleads desperately to be taken back to him, is heartbreaking, because we seem not to be watching a young actor on the screen, but a real-life child whose life is being torn apart.

	The Kid (1921) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Chaplin hadn't filled a film so fully with pathos since 'The Vagabond' (1916), and then it was in a very limited way, subject to the confines of two-reel length.
		The feature length of 'The Kid' also allows Chaplin to elaborate and refine the gags, pranks and set pieces, and with the support of Jackie Coogan, it's one of his funniest comedies.
		Yet, 'The Kid' is much more than that, which makes it such a breakthrough; the slapstick fills the plot, and there is more of a developed plot here than in Chaplin's previous work.

		At the start of the film, a Woman (Edna Purviance) has a baby out of wedlock, and she abandons the child (Baby Hathaway) in the car owned by a rich family.
		The Kid appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Kid also lacked the noticeable edge enhancement of Lights; some minor haloes appeared at times, but these stated minor and failed to distract.

		By the end of the film, the welfare authorities catch up to Charlie and the kid and attempt to take the boy away to a county orphan asylum.
		Although the film was shot in 1921, the version we have here is the fiftieth-anniversary reissue, which Chaplin edited down from about sixty minutes to a little over fifty and to which he added an original musical score.
		In addition, there are three scenes developing the role of the Kid's mother (Edna Purviance) that Chaplin deleted for the film's 1971 reissue; and footage of Chaplin conducting a section of his new score for the rerelease.

	Movie Info for The Kid on MSN Movies
		The Kid was Charles Chaplin's first self-produced and directed feature film; 1914's 6-reel Tillie's Punctured Romance was a Mack Sennett production in which Chaplin merely co-starred.
		Chaplin's excellent and moving score for The Kid was composed in 1971 for a theatrical re-release, but used themes that Chaplin had composed in 1921.
		Chaplin re-edited the film somewhat for the re-release, cutting scenes that he felt were overly sentimental, such as Purviance's observing of a May-December wedding and her portrayal as a saint, outlined by a church's stained glass window.

		The film ends with a bittersweet reunion between the two at the mother's mansion - where the viewer can't help but feel lost that they are no longer allowed to be together.
		The conflict between sadness and comedy that pervade this film are utterly consistent with what was happening to Charlie Chaplin in his personal life at the time.
		The scene where the Kid is grabbed from Charlie's arms is based on a memory Charlie had of being grabbed from his own mother's arms.

	Silent film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since silent films had no synchronized sound for dialogue, graphic titles were used to clarify the on-screen situation or key dialog for the cinema audience, but showings of silent films usually were not silent at all.
		Overacting in silent films was sometimes a habit actors transferred from their stage experience and directors who understood the intimacy of the new medium discouraged it.
		Most silent films were shot at slower speeds than sound films (typically 16 to 20 frames per second as opposed to 24), so unless carefully shown at their original speeds they can appear unnaturally fast and jerky, which further reinforces their unusual appearance.

		Although this film started out as another short film, by the time it was done, Chaplin had spent a year on it, and had taken more shots and retakes than perhaps had been done for any film in history.

		His return to the screen after more than a year's absence is in "The Kid," which was shown last night at Carnegie Hall as the feature of an entertainment for the benefit of the Children's Fund of the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures.
		"The Kid" is not only the longest comedy in which Chaplin has appeared since becoming the best-known figure of the film world, but it is real comedy.
		The blemish on "The Kid" is the same that has marred many of Chaplin's other pictures vulgarity or coarseness.

	dOc DVD Review: The Kid (1921)
		The Kid may not be Charlie Chaplin's best known film, but many critics cite it as his most affecting and meticulously produced work.
		The Kid also arguably inspired such later films as The Champ and even Three Men and a Baby with its simple tale of a tramp's undying love for an orphan child.
		The scrappy kid survives by the seat of his pants, finally winning the old man's affection just when he oh-so-conveniently discovers he has a rich grandmother who's been ceaselessly searching for him ever since she heard of his mother's death.

	BBC - Films - review - The Kid DVD
		Funny and warm in equal measure, "The Kid" was born out of personal tragedy for Chaplin, as you'll find out on this handsomely produced two-disc DVD release.
		Chaplin's private life spilled over into the production of this film, to the point where he had to halt production and hide the negative in a hotel so his wife's lawyers couldn't get hold of it.
		It's clearly aping "The Kid", and the print is in terrible condition.

		As such "The Kid" becomes the comedian's first feature film as writer, director, and star (He had appeared as the male lead in 1914's "Tillie's Punctured Romance," but that was just as an actor and not really a "Chaplin" comedy).
		Chaplin had combined comedy and pathos before, but when the Kid is taken away from the Tramp by the authorities and screams for his papa, you almost forget this is a silent film.
		Posters for the film proudly stated that Chaplin had worked an entire year on the film, and audiences were obviously pleased with the results.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Disney's The Kid \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		And despite its title, "Disney's The Kid" is not a remake of the 1921 Charlie Chaplin silent classic, though it's hard to imagine how the film could have been any worse even if it had been.
		Suffice it to say there are greeting cards less manipulative and more genuine than this saccharine comedy-fantasy, which squanders every opportunity it has to be meaningful and instead dollops out cheap sentimentality by the spoonful.
		"Disney's The Kid" is rated PG for brief violence (a schoolyard fight and some slapstick) and mild vulgarity (including some toilet humor).

		The Kid was Charlie Chaplin's first full-length movie.

		Like most Chaplin films it is embedded with a some great slapstick, and never fails to entertain the viewer.
		The Kid may very well be my favorite Chaplin movie, but we'll see if that changes after I watched City Lights, and The Gold Rush again.
