CHARLIE CHAPLIN ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT WAS THE BEST 😊IN EACH OF HIS MOVIES 🎥 TO PHYSICALY USES FOR THE MOST POPULAR MUSIC 🎶 OF IT'S TIME!

[@sebastianverney7851]

So much art is variations on a theme. Bach takes a series of notes, produces 64 variations of it and it becomes Partita Ciaccona. Morandi's and Cy Twombly's paintings are endless variations on simple themes. Charlie Chaplin takes the simplest possible theme, a stick stuck in a grid, and turns into a dramatic confrontation.

[@debbyharrison9198]

He even composed the wonderful music.. genius

[@chantalmc2800]

It's true, il a composé de formidables musiques, marvelous ❤

[@thefunniestmanalive9056]

I see why this wasn’t put into the final film. It seems to drag on a little bit.

[@scottmoore1614]

I tend to agree. In all honesty, Chaplin probably thought so too. I’m sure that’s why it was cut. I am glad it survives as a “deleted scene” because it’s certainly brilliant, amusing and well crafted. The thing about Chaplin is he was spending his own money and he could indulge himself all he wanted...working out ideas on film, doing multiple takes on a scene. This film notoriously took him forever to complete.

Just a stick stuck between the bars and he is poking it, trying to push it in. And HE managed to make it so hilarious and unique.

[@frenchmarky]

I watched this flick when they showed it at college in the early 80s and I thought it was hilarious, but especially the poking-the-stick bit, I can't believe it was cut. Later I'd see the movie on TV waiting for the scene and it wasn't there! : (

This could be a half hour longer and I'd still watch it.

[@andymassingham]

According to Unknown Chaplin, this was to have been our introduction to Charlie in City Lights. While I applaud all of the elements of this scene, I can see why Chaplin put it to the side. No faulting it’s construction or execution. But there’s no denying that the rhythm is laboured and even if it was tightened it would be stretching the limits of logic. Just my opinion. It’s brilliant for an outtake, but it is an outtake. That was his process and it worked for him. He found a far stronger way to enter the story and we are lucky that this escaped the flames and can enjoy an artist at work.

This movie has the BEST ending of scene of all time. Second would have to be Schindler's List ending scene.

[@tobiolopainto]

The other two great endings (not including Schindler's List) are La Strada by Fellini, and Les Enfants du Paradis by Carne. Also The 400 Blows by Truffaut and Bicycle Thieves by de Sica. There are more- - Shoot the Piano Player also by Truffaut, Once Upon a Time in the West by Leoni, Mon Oncle by Tati. These have endings that change lives.

It would have been funnier if the "learning disabled" man showed him how to push the stick through the grate.

[@jackbuckley7816]

Such a depiction wouldn't be allowed in films today. Even though this classic was made nearly a century ago, it's rather painful and uncomfortable watching the messenger in this scene. He probably could've been presented as one of average intelligence and done what you suggested. I like the idea CC had of the Tramp becoming obsessed with such a trivial concern--the humor's in his fascination over how it works or the purpose it serves. One drawback--CC's looking away with disinterest whenever the public stops and stares at his poking at the wooden-piece in the grate with his cane--he does this a few times too many, dissipating his quick-change into an indifferent "gentleman", making it look like the passersby are nuts for staring at him. Amusing once or twice but loses its comical effect eventually. Still a great scene that probably could've worked, if handled a little differently and trimmed to make shorter.
