REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 17-Feb-2007)

Living in 2007 the film allows the viewer to examine world and national conditions during the 'depression years'. The mid-thirties was a critical time in our nations history. Our internal strife could have done significant damage to our nation. But, there being something about us....and our leaders, their forsight and the peoples durability moved us to the head of the line. Although the film writers could only guess what the day after tomorrow would bring them, they neverless showed that the American people were good and caring. Chaplin was called a Communist in later years, that was his privledge to be one (if in fact he ws one) as a citizen of our great country. History, showed that he left and went to live in England after WW II, again as a US citizen that was his privledge. I was born well after 1936, but the film should - I believe - be reviewed by our High School students and explained as to it's importance. Dick
