Paulette's performance was poignant and powerful. I see why he loved her. She was self assured, and in this movie a timeless beauty. This is a great video.

Fantastic work. This is the best video essay for Modern Times on KZbin, and trust me, I've watched all of them.

Such a brilliant analysis, great insights, artfully done. Now if you can only do some of the other Chaplin films. :)

The Ending of the Film is to me a mystery........When walking into the sunset their Shadows are in front then the next shot from behind Shows their Shadows Behind them. Sunsets cannot change in seconds

Thank you - very informative. It would be interesting to know the location of the final sunset walk scene so as to be able to compare the appearance of the road and countryside today.
