If I had the time I would write a book on this film.
But let me begin here:
This is a silent comedy. It is Buster Keaton breaking his neck in the water spout sequence of Sherlock Jr. It is Harold Lloyd hanging from the tower clock with right missing thumb and forefinger hidden by glove in Safety Last. It is Chaplin confounded by conveyor belt in Modern Times. And most of all it is the final scene from City Lights: the mockery of shopping for connection in a place of unrelenting pain.

If you're taking requests, I'd like to see your input on "Requiem for a Dream".
Ok I put it on my queue!
