The Gold Rush
Goldgräber Charlie flüchtet sich vor einem Schneesturm in die Hütte von Black Larsen, in der auch Big Jim, der gerade Gold gefunden hat, erscheint. Black Larsen verläßt die beiden, um Nahrung zu suchen, kehrt jedoch nicht zurück. Aus Verzweiflung kocht Charlie seinen eigenen Schuh, den er zusammen mit Big Jim verzehrt. Als der Sturm nachläßt, irrt Charlie umher, beobachtet in einem Dorf eine tanzende Gesellschaft und verliebt sich in die Sängerin Georgia. Später beutet er zusammen mit Big Jim dessen Goldmine aus, wodurch die beiden reich werden und Charlie schließlich Georgia heiraten kann.

I really liked the cinematography but the comedy wasn’t special, there were very few gags that I found funny but the rest is pretty mild. Chaplin also takes his first L for kicking a dog during the dance scene. I also didn’t find the story engaging. The movie still has charm though, the music is really good and the snowy vistas have a transportive quality. And I appreciate the effort that went into the gags, especially the balancing cabin at the end. A well directed movie that unfortunately didn’t capture me.
