00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:31,900
a rags-to-riches.
Riches tale that takes the Tramp

podcast, where each week, we
review a classic movie and a

15
00:01:11,508 --> 00:01:15,500
glass of whiskey.
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G and

16
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:20,000
this week we keep the Charlie
Chaplin train a-rollin with his

17
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
1925 comedy.
The gold rush.

18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,700
Brad.
I I already know that most of

19
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,800
our audience will not have seen
any of these movies.

20
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,900
And yet, I'm still pretty sure
that you know, if you were to

21
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:37,100
hold up pictures of the stars of
every movie we've ever done on

22
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:40,400
the film and whiskey podcast,
that Chaplin would still be one

23
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,000
of the most recognized figures
among all of them easily like

24
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,800
I'm kind of struggling with like
I really want her stash you

25
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,600
know?
I mean Hitler kind of patterned

26
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,600
it after him which is a weird
distinction to have You know, a

27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,600
weird badge to wear if you're
Charlie Chaplin but you know

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,600
what?
I inspired.

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,100
Yeah, we'll get to that next
week when we look at The Great

30
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:04,300
Dictator, but for this week, I
guess, what?

31
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:07,400
I'm trying to say here is this,
this is one of the most popular

32
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,600
movies ever made.
It is the highest grossing

33
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:15,100
silent film comedy ever.
And it is probably the one that

34
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:20,300
has the most iconic, Charlie
Chaplin moments and imagery in

35
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:21,300
it.
Hmm.

36
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:25,200
And yet it's probably like, in
the Bottom-5 of movies we've

37
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,900
ever done.
In terms of one's people will

38
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:28,500
have seen that.
Listen to this show.

39
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,500
Yeah, I mean, it's coming up on
100 years.

40
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:35,800
Bob 100 years old, almost Brad.
That like, it is crazy to me to

41
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,800
look at this movie and look at
how it's made and and see modern

42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,900
technique editing techniques and
Camera moves and stuff like

43
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:46,700
that.
And when you think about

44
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:49,200
something being 100 years old,
you think of like this super

45
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,600
archaic time that's gone by.
And I think that's part of why I

46
00:02:52,608 --> 00:02:55,000
love movies so much.
Is that it reminds us that a

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,300
hundred years ago is really not
that long ago at all.

48
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,000
People have always been people
and movies in some ways.

49
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
I've always been movies and
Chaplin films are evidence of

50
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,500
that.
Yeah.

51
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:09,300
And I will say, this is a quick
shout out to our listeners from

52
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:11,700
Canada.
I think that this is our first

53
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:14,800
movie set in Canada.
Yeah.

54
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:17,800
Now, are we at Canada?
Are we in Alaska in this movie?

55
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,100
I'm pretty sure it is set
because the the chilkoot pass,

56
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:25,800
hmm, which it shows is in
British Columbia, okay.

57
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,500
So is it, she'll cut or
chilkoot?

58
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:30,100
Chilkoot.
I think it's real good.

59
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:33,200
There's two o's.
So obviously should pronounce

60
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,500
it.
You know, improperly sure until

61
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:36,800
cut.
She'll Cooter e.

62
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Okay, so Cooter eboard.
All right man, I'm excited to

63
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,500
talk about this movie.
I guess the first place to

64
00:03:43,508 --> 00:03:47,400
start, even before we get into
Brad explains is to compare and

65
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,000
contrast.
Last week's movie City Lights.

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Now we started with that because
that is kind of generally

67
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,100
regarded today by critics as
chaplains, best film and

68
00:03:57,100 --> 00:03:59,200
watching these two movies back
to back Brad.

69
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,700
The Gold Rush has never been my
favorite Chaplin movie.

70
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,800
I feel like even at, you know,
whatever it is 85 minutes or

71
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,800
whatever.
There's a little bit of shag on

72
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,200
it and some of the jokes go on a
little too long for me and they

73
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,300
take a large break in this movie
from making any jokes.

74
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:16,899
And I feel like the movie really
drags in those parts, but I also

75
00:04:16,899 --> 00:04:20,600
weirdly feel like if you're just
Just talking from a comedy

76
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,300
standpoint.
This movie definitely has higher

77
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:26,300
highs than City Lights did.
Hmm.

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,700
I mean, I will say that the
boxing scene and City Lights.

79
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,600
I think might be the funniest
individual chaplain sequence and

80
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,900
I've seen thus far in my
extensive to movie.

81
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,700
Watch of him.
Yep.

82
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,500
But yeah.
I like the boxing seen a lot.

83
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,600
I think that I like gold rush
overall is the film much better.

84
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,700
Hmm. but I think that's mostly
because It just feels a little

85
00:04:54,700 --> 00:04:58,500
more, little more
self-contained, and a little

86
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,700
less scatterbrained.
Like it's it to me, it's much

87
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:05,300
more focused and driving
forward.

88
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:07,300
Then City Lights was
interesting.

89
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:10,600
Yeah, I feel like if I can sum
up my thoughts and City Lights,

90
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,500
I really love that movie and I
feel like it's, you know, it's

91
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,900
probably still among like my
favorite films but it's like a

92
00:05:16,907 --> 00:05:20,700
nine and a half for me on every
category.

93
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,100
Where is this movie?
It's definitely got low.

94
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,000
Lower lows for me than city
lights, but it hits higher

95
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,600
Heights with some of the comedy,
and it's going for a different

96
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,300
reaction.
I think like there's dramatic

97
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,600
moments, there's heart.
Touch it like a heart-wrenching

98
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,300
moments in this movie, but this
is a straight-up comedy, whereas

99
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:41,200
City Lights.
I feel like really try to tow

100
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,800
that line between comedy and
drama.

101
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,600
Yeah, 100%.
And I think that this one works

102
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,400
a little bit better than city
lights.

103
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,000
And that's not to say, I didn't
like City Lights.

104
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000
I thought it was a great movie.
I think that the gold rush just

105
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:57,700
It just flows better.
And there's so many Beautiful

106
00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:01,200
Moments in this film that, you
know, you kind of get at the end

107
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,000
of City Lights with that, that
last moment of them falling in

108
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,400
love and this one.
I feel like there's a, there's a

109
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,600
few moments throughout that feel
really beautiful and poignant.

110
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,200
And so, even though this one is
more of a comedy, I found its

111
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,800
have more touching moments in
it.

112
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:16,900
Alright, Brad.
Well, I think we've kind of

113
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:20,600
teased the plot of this movie a
little bit and you know, we're

114
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,400
only at like the 6-minute Mark
here, but let's jump in.

115
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:26,200
Into America's favorite
segments.

116
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:30,000
Brad explains rats gonna give us
the movie plots with only 60

117
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,200
seconds ticking on the clock.
So let's go ahead and do you

118
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,200
take with this little segment
that we call Brad explains,

119
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:38,700
right?
Explains is the part of the

120
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:41,800
podcast, where Brad breaks down
the plot of the movie that he

121
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,700
has just seen often for the
first time.

122
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,300
We know that this is Brad's
first time seeing the gold rush.

123
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,600
So Brad, you've got 60 seconds
on the clock to explain in a

124
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,100
spoiler riff.
Fashion.

125
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:57,700
The plot of the gold rush and
go.

126
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,600
The Gold Rush is a film about
our favorite star, the Tramp as

127
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,700
he moves to Canada to be a
prospector.

128
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,200
He finds himself out in the
middle of a massive storm

129
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,600
trapped in a cabin with a man
who is so hungry that he wants

130
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,800
to eat, Chaplin thinking that
he's a chicken.

131
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:21,300
This man has found a wealth of
gold but loses his way to it and

132
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:25,200
an outlaw beats him in.
The head and so he forgets about

133
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,800
where his wealth is in the
meantime.

134
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,600
Charlie falls in love with a
beautiful woman who dances at a

135
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,900
local night club, dance hall,
whatever you want to call Dad.

136
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:41,600
Yeah, that's all and is dragged
about back out into the

137
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,700
Wilderness to help the man, find
his claim.

138
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:48,400
They find the claim together,
survive a falling house, become

139
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,400
Millionaires, and chaplain gets
the girl at the end of the day.

140
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:56,000
The end, there's the Gold Rush.
That's, that's kind of it.

141
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,300
Yeah, I think I summarize not
think so.

142
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,800
All right, before we move into
talking about the movie itself,

143
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,200
I want to go back to the point.
You made a bit ago, about the

144
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,600
fact that this movie is now 98
years old.

145
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,200
It's really weird to talk about
100 year old movie Brad.

146
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,000
I mean, you know, we try to keep
up with our classic films on

147
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,800
this podcast, but even for that,
this movie fuels old and say, I

148
00:08:18,808 --> 00:08:24,100
think 1939, we did that series
of Of for is like Stagecoach

149
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:31,000
Gone With the Wind Wizard of Oz
and what was the other one, mr.

150
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,400
Smith Goes to Washington, mr.
Smith Goes watches.

151
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,900
So I believe those would be the
oldest for movies.

152
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:37,100
We've done.
Am I correct?

153
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:39,200
Yeah, you know, I'm trying to
think there's probably one or

154
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,400
two scattered in there
somewhere, but that's about as

155
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,800
far back as we've gone so far.
Yeah, so yeah this is, you know,

156
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,900
14 years before it we're getting
into Old territory.

157
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:54,500
But yeah, so on that.
A point in the year, 1942

158
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:58,100
Chaplin is coming off of his
most recent film, The Great

159
00:08:58,100 --> 00:08:59,800
Dictator, which came out in
1940.

160
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,300
It's his first sound film and it
does pretty good business and

161
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:06,000
chaplain still a respected
figure.

162
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:10,000
But we're now 17 years on from
the release of this movie, his

163
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
most famous movie and chaplain
realizes that most people, even

164
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,600
though it is within, you know, a
couple decades.

165
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,900
Most people have never even seen
a silent movie, like, kids, who

166
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:21,900
have come up in this time.
They don't remember seeing

167
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:24,700
Silent films.
And so what he does is he takes

168
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:28,200
the Gold Rush, he takes all the
intertitles out of it and he

169
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,100
adds a narration to the whole
movie.

170
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,000
Like it's still a silent movie
but he's narrating over it now.

171
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,500
It's a really interesting
experiment and if you get like

172
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:39,300
the Criterion Collection
Blu-ray, you can watch that

173
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:42,100
version of it.
And I actually think that that

174
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:45,000
version of the film ends up
getting nominated for a couple

175
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,700
of Academy Awards because he
adds a score to it and things

176
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:49,400
like that.
So it's funny when you go back

177
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,400
and look at stats on the Gold
Rush it's like oh is Nominated

178
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,800
for Oscars.
But the original version of this

179
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,300
came out before the Oscars
existed.

180
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,800
So it's like yeah this movie has
a weird history.

181
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:02,700
We watched the silent silent
silent version of this movie

182
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:06,200
with no narration on it Brad.
Can I just can I just say

183
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,700
something Bob?
Oh please, I turned on my first

184
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:13,100
Charlie.
Chaplin movie City Lights a week

185
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:13,900
ago.
Hmm.

186
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:20,200
And I didn't know what to expect
mmm and like I know that might

187
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,900
sound silly, but I've spent my
whole life.

188
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:24,800
Being silent films called silent
films.

189
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,300
And I just, I knew that, you
know, there would be like an

190
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:31,800
orchestra and each movie theater
that would like play that, you

191
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,900
know, a little ditty to the
movie.

192
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:39,300
But I didn't know if I would
just be sitting there listening

193
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:43,100
to nothing for all of city
lights all of gold rush you

194
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:47,400
know, in our other silent films.
So I was pleasantly surprised to

195
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,300
hear that.
It is not a silent experience if

196
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:55,700
you get on Your HBO Max account
and pop on any of the Charlie

197
00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:59,200
Chaplin's that they have on
their there is music attached to

198
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,300
these film.
Yes.

199
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:04,100
And I just want to clarify that
because I being the complete

200
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:07,500
Noob to silent era film.
Did not know what to expect.

201
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,200
No, that's I'll say I didn't
want to watch these movies

202
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,200
because I was like, man, if
there is no sound and I'm just

203
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,800
watching him, you know,
pantomime across the screen.

204
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,000
I don't think I'm going to enjoy
it very much.

205
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000
No, that's a great point.
Hey man, I think that's

206
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
something that, you know, for
someone like me, I just take it

207
00:11:26,008 --> 00:11:27,700
for granted now.
So I'm really glad.

208
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:30,700
You said that these are her not
totally silent experiences.

209
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,200
Even the version that I'm
describing, which I just called

210
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,700
silent silent.
Silent is is not actually

211
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:37,600
silent.
There is an orchestral score in

212
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,300
the background.
There's, you know, little sound

213
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:44,200
effects that are added in.
So all that to say Brad, you

214
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,100
watched a 98 year old movie.
I did.

215
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,700
Did it feel 98 years old?
Certain elements of it did.

216
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,700
Okay.
It still had that little bit of

217
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:58,200
a sped-up, feel that old Cinema
has Givens.

218
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:00,800
Hmm.
And I'm sure you can explain

219
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,800
that with the frame rate and,
and so on, but it has that feel.

220
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:12,200
There's definitely a, I still
got the Looney Tunes vibe from

221
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,700
it.
We're like the slapstick comedy

222
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:19,300
that you see in Looney Tunes?
You can like see the direct T'

223
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:22,200
through line from chaplain to
loot EMS.

224
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,100
So for somebody who grew up on
Looney Tunes, like I still could

225
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:28,300
feel that age to it.
Hmm.

226
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,100
But other than that man, like
the acting in.

227
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:37,400
This is incredible.
The cinematography is Bonkers,

228
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,300
good.
Like I thought it was pretty

229
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,700
solid and City Lights.
I think it's incredible here.

230
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:45,600
I texted you, Halfway through
the film.

231
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,000
And basically just said there's
a shot in this movie that I

232
00:12:49,008 --> 00:12:52,400
think might be one of the most
beautiful shots I've ever seen

233
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,700
in a film.
Yeah.

234
00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:55,900
And so funny because it's the
same shot that I had written

235
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:57,600
down to talk about.
Yeah.

236
00:12:57,700 --> 00:12:59,600
And so it's stuff.
Like that.

237
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,500
That makes you go.
Oh, at the end of the day,

238
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:06,400
whether you have a camera from
1920, you know, 34 when he was

239
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:13,400
filming this or a camera from
2023 2024, You still have to

240
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:18,700
take pictures in an interesting
manner for them to be good and

241
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:20,900
Charlie.
Chaplin could do that 98 years

242
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:22,600
ago?
Yeah, 100%.

243
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:25,100
All right man, let's dive into
talking about the movie itself.

244
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:29,200
This is a very simple story as
all of Chaplin's movies are, but

245
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,700
this one even more.
So because I feel like in movies

246
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:35,300
like city lights, and modern
times, those movies end up

247
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:39,200
becoming more of I don't know a
comedy of errors, like there's

248
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,300
compounding things that happen
that take the Tramp to different

249
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:46,300
places and then in modern times,
I feel like it's more of, it's

250
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:49,600
almost like an odyssey, it's
like him going across, you know,

251
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,700
this industrial landscape in the
1930s, this one's more just like

252
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:56,800
hey we Jump Right In.
There's a bunch of people

253
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,200
prospecting for gold and Chaplin
had to this point put the Tramp

254
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,800
character back in historical
periods.

255
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,700
A couple of times, but this is
the first full-length film that

256
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:09,500
he did that.
At with, and not only that.

257
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:11,900
But we're going back into like
the 1800s with the Tramp here.

258
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:14,800
And so he's not called the Tramp
in this movie.

259
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,500
He's called the lone prospector
and so, you know, that he's out

260
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,800
there by himself, he's just
being hapless and stumbling into

261
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:24,400
whatever he stumbles into and
for the first, I don't know,

262
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:27,700
third of the movie.
It's basically just him trying

263
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,600
to survive out in the elements
and kind of getting mixed up

264
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,700
with these two other
Prospectors, one of whom is a

265
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:36,600
wanted criminal and murderer.
This is the middle third of the

266
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,400
movie.
Upland kind of goes into this,

267
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,100
you know, Town that's been set
up for the gold, miners and

268
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:44,500
falls in love with the girl
there.

269
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:47,400
And then the last third of the
movie, he goes back out into the

270
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,700
frontier and things kind of wrap
up but I felt like this movie

271
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:56,900
had a very clean division of
like act 1 act 2 act 3.

272
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,400
Yeah and I really enjoyed that
about the film.

273
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,000
You get him in his initial
introduction to you know the

274
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,700
Yukon wherever they're at.
At up in Canada, maybe Alaska

275
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:15,600
and then you have him in the
city, trying to win Over Georgia

276
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,100
and then you have him, finding
his riches and finishing out the

277
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:25,900
journey that he started upon to
find gold and it cuts it up into

278
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:31,400
such a nice little chunks.
That for me, I was able to keep

279
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,100
with the story throughout and it
didn't feel like I was dragging

280
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:36,800
on anywhere.
Last week, we talked about the

281
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,000
performances and city lights and
kind of lead with the caveat

282
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,300
that it's hard to talk about
performances and yet, I don't

283
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:46,500
know, like, I don't know how to
explain it because this seems

284
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:50,200
like the most pure distillation
of a performance that we could

285
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,000
talk about, like it's just it's
acting without words, right?

286
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,200
And so we should be able to
point to like really specific

287
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,900
things in these performances.
But it's also really hard

288
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:05,000
because we've only ever paired
up the, you know, physical.

289
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,500
With the words that are being
spoken and we talked about line

290
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:10,800
readings and, you know, we don't
have that luxury here.

291
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,100
So I guess I want to hear your
take first of all on Chaplin,

292
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:16,200
and do you think he's better,
worse?

293
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,400
Kind of the same from city
lights and are there?

294
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,200
Any particular things about the
way he plays the character in

295
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,100
this movie that stuck out to
you?

296
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:29,100
I think something I noticed in
this film and this is more about

297
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:32,800
the character that he plays more
than maybe himself.

298
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:35,600
I love the way.
Way.

299
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:38,200
He, you know, and this is famous
of him.

300
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,600
I love the way he keeps his feet
open all the time.

301
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:44,800
Yeah, yeah.
And and Beyond the fact that

302
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,500
it's comedic.
There's so many moments in this

303
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,700
film where he is stuck on the
outside.

304
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:57,000
Mmm, and he is looking in on
other people enjoying life and

305
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,900
he is, you know, being bullied
by a larger more attractive

306
00:17:01,900 --> 00:17:07,000
more, masculine man than him.
And For some reason, I just

307
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,500
looked at his feet every single
time and he has that trademark

308
00:17:11,500 --> 00:17:13,400
openness of his feet.
Mmm.

309
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:17,500
And there's something about that
that I think makes the Tramp

310
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:23,400
such a Winsome figure that he is
open to whatever the world

311
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,500
throws at him, that he takes it
in.

312
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,900
He takes into sadness, he takes
him to anger, the happiness, all

313
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:34,900
the things that gets thrown at
him and just continues marching

314
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:37,700
on.
His way never giving up, always

315
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:39,500
taking every punch that's thrown
at him.

316
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:44,900
And then there's something about
that that Nuance in his acting

317
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:48,500
performance that I think just
makes the Tramp and, you know,

318
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:52,500
the lone prospector in this film
that makes him so charming and

319
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:55,200
attractive.
And like like I just want to be

320
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,100
friends with that guy and I know
it's not, I don't know.

321
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:00,400
Am I crazy to say that?
Like I think you're all of that

322
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,800
comes down to the way he carries
his body?

323
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,800
Yeah, I mean, you're absolutely
right.

324
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,700
There is a Posture of openness
with him a physical posture of

325
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:12,700
like, I want love the same way
that everyone else has love that

326
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:15,100
I see around me and I have no
one to give it to me.

327
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:17,700
And I think there is such a
heartbreak to that.

328
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:20,600
And this movie, I think really
leans in way more than City

329
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,800
Lights.
Did you know, in City Lights?

330
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,500
He's down on his luck, and he's
impoverished, and he goes to

331
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:28,000
jail.
And, you know, he is really the

332
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,600
lowest of the low socially, but
you never get the sense that he

333
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,800
feels lonely.
Like, he's pining for For and

334
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,500
and really wants to be with the
flower girl.

335
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
But I don't think you ever
really understand her

336
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,600
experience, the kind of like
social isolation of him and in

337
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,000
this movie I think it's I mean
they call him the loan

338
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,700
prospector like that's that's
the character's name and from

339
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:55,900
there you really get this sense.
I guess I want to just go ahead

340
00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:57,700
and talk about one of my
favorite parts of the movie and

341
00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:01,600
it is when the film tips into,
you know, melodrama there's this

342
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,800
kind of contrived thing where
the Dancehall girl finds That

343
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,500
the Tramp likes her and sets up
this whole thing where she's

344
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:12,400
going to come dine with him at
this cabin that he's overseeing

345
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,500
on New Year's Eve, and bring all
the dance hall girls.

346
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:17,300
And and then she like, very
obviously stands him up.

347
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:19,700
She doesn't forget.
She's screwing with him and it's

348
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:23,000
because she's involved with this
guy who's just a giant.

349
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,500
And I think his name is Jack.
I don't know what his name is.

350
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:27,600
He's the worst.
And I think it's R.

351
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,000
It's probably Richard probably
Richard.

352
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:33,600
He's just a bully.
And you know, eventually she

353
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:36,300
realizes that this guy is just
Going too far with how he

354
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:38,300
bullies the Tramp and Des
Associates from him.

355
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:42,900
But at this point she's standing
him up the Tramp falls asleep,

356
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:45,800
dreaming about all the ways.
He's going to entertain these

357
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,000
girls and you get this iconic
sequence which we'll talk about

358
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,200
in a minute, but he wakes up
from this dream, right?

359
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,000
At midnight as everybody down at
the dance, hall is singing Auld

360
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Lang Syne and chaplain does This
brilliant thing where bro Auld

361
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,600
Lang Syne is perhaps never
sadder than it is in this movie

362
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:07,100
which I love Auld Lang Syne As a
song because it allows you to

363
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:13,000
reflect on, I don't know the the
good and bad tapestry of life

364
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:17,400
every year and you get to some
most nostalgic song is so good

365
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,900
and and you get this moment of
like all these Haggard looking

366
00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:25,000
people in the Klondike or
wherever we are like reflecting

367
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,900
on what they've done in the last
year and some of them are openly

368
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:30,800
weeping and then the song ends
and they immediately go back to

369
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,900
like drunken revelry and as
they're reflecting on life.

370
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,900
We're Cutting back to chaplain
in the cabin with the door

371
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:41,400
cracked open leaning out.
Realizing that he's been

372
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,300
abandoned yet again.
And it's one of the few times in

373
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:48,800
the movie where we get a legit
close-up of Chaplin and his

374
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,000
acting in that scene man.
It is like, I legitimately

375
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,700
teared up at that scene, Brad,
it is heart-wrenching and the

376
00:20:55,700 --> 00:20:59,500
current one command that this
guy Chaplin had on his editing

377
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:01,900
and the way that he's able to
tug at the heartstrings a

378
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:04,900
hundred years ago.
I'm like, I wish people would

379
00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:07,500
watch Listen take notes today.
Yeah.

380
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,400
Well and it feels like like
honestly, the way that Georgia

381
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,000
the dancer who's messing with
him plays it, it feels like

382
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,800
like, you're watching Mean
Girls.

383
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:21,800
Hmm.
Like the way she's like, kind

384
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,200
of, you know, tittering with her
friends and like laughing and

385
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,600
they know that they're kind of
playing a joke on this poor

386
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000
nerdy kid.
If you will, it feels like a

387
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,100
modern understanding of the
interaction.

388
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,300
Actions between boys and girls
when they're not mature enough

389
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:42,100
to really, you know, love and
sacrifice and do all the things

390
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:44,000
that are required of people when
they're in love with one

391
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,500
another.
Mmm and I think that he does

392
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:48,600
such a good job of
characterizing that.

393
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,900
But then also his ability to use
sound design to manipulate

394
00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:59,300
emotions is incredible.
The way the that all Lang Syne

395
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:04,500
is played, when the camera is
on, the dance hall is upbeat and

396
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:07,100
Lively.
And a fun version of it and then

397
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:11,100
the camera cuts to Chaplin and
it immediately gets quieter a

398
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:15,100
little bit slower and you're
like, you immediately feel

399
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:19,700
mournful and it's because
chaplain has this ability to

400
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:23,000
contrast the large Lively
raucous party.

401
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,200
That is the dance hall with the
loneliness of a man who thought

402
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,300
he had friends.
And I just man that was just

403
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:35,000
really really touching and that
it's moments like that Bob like

404
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,800
you.
Said, we were like, this doesn't

405
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,300
feel like a ninety, eight year,
old movie, my heart.

406
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:44,200
It feels like when I didn't have
any friends or it feels like

407
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,900
when I've struggled to, you
know, how struggled with liking

408
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:50,200
a girl?
Who doesn't like me back?

409
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,400
Yeah, like, like, all of that is
just true to The Human

410
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,100
Experience.
Well and that's the thing.

411
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:57,400
I want to get back to you were
talking about how Winsome of a

412
00:22:57,408 --> 00:22:59,700
character he is.
And I want to just add the word

413
00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:03,100
sympathetic to that, you know,
it's a yeah, obviously, a common

414
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:06,900
word to use but the reason that
we Of the Tramp so much is that

415
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,600
we empathize with him and his
lowest moments and he's not a

416
00:23:10,608 --> 00:23:14,600
character like mr.
Bean and I think that he loved

417
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,100
mr.
Bean.

418
00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:16,700
You know what I mean?
Those are like hilarious

419
00:23:16,700 --> 00:23:21,700
sketches, but Mr. Bean is like a
Rube who comes in and messes

420
00:23:21,700 --> 00:23:23,700
stuff up and it's funny to watch
a mess stuff up.

421
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:27,400
And you know, early chaplain
reels are like that.

422
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,300
Like, it's just chaotic and it
really funny to watch him

423
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:32,100
pretend to be a barber and
slather.

424
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:34,800
Somebody and shaving again Three
Stooges type.

425
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,400
Exactly Actly.
This character is not that he's

426
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,200
not dumb and he's not ignorant,
he's perhaps too trusting, but

427
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,000
he always finds out what's going
on and how he is the but of

428
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,800
someone's joke, and he still
chooses to keep that open

429
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,800
posture to the world and to go
on with his life.

430
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,300
But sometimes you see him do it
with a heavy sigh.

431
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:56,500
And I think that's the key to
the Tramp.

432
00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:00,200
It's not that he's ignorant or
dumb.

433
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,400
It's just that he's too trusting
and we love him because of that.

434
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:06,600
Yeah.
Yeah, well that's that's the

435
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,700
beauty of any good drama, right?
That it reveals something about

436
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:14,800
ourselves, even as we watch the
drama unfold on-screen or, you

437
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,600
know, on the pages of a book.
And that's what you have in,

438
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,800
chaplain in this film.
And in a lot of his films is

439
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,800
somebody that you can see
yourself in.

440
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,000
And like, let's be honest.
Bob, there's a lot of directors

441
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,800
nowadays that can't direct a
movie that I would see myself

442
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:32,800
in.
That's true.

443
00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:36,200
I want to ask this, you know,
we're on the performances thing,

444
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,300
but before we move off of it, I
think we're in a good spot to

445
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:42,900
ask this.
How has watching Chaplin movies

446
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:46,500
and particularly like getting to
know, the character of the Tramp

447
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:48,500
Brad.
How has that changed your

448
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:51,900
preconceptions of?
What the Tramp was going to be?

449
00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:57,000
Um, I think that I genuinely
thought of the Tramp as a Three

450
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,100
Stooges precursor.
Mmm.

451
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,400
And that, that was kind of it
that he was a slapstick

452
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,000
vaudvillian.
In comedic force that people

453
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,200
just really loved in the in the
20s and 30s and to spend time

454
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:17,000
with him and modern times or sit
in city lights and now, you

455
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,800
know, he's called the lone
prospector, but it's the trips

456
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,800
the Tramp.
Yeah, sure.

457
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,200
Yeah.
So, seeing him in now in the

458
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:30,600
gold rush, You understand why he
was so popular that that he

459
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,700
really does relate to every
person watching the movie?

460
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:37,200
Yeah, I mean it, you know, this
movie comes out at the height of

461
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,500
the Roaring 20s and I think
that's reflected like in the

462
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:41,400
costumes of the girls at the
dance hall.

463
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,100
Those don't seem period-accurate
to me, but what do I know?

464
00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:50,000
I was to say there's a reason
that chaplain is able to, I want

465
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,200
to say to milk this character,
but to keep this character alive

466
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:58,100
in the format of a silent movie.
All the way through to 1936 in

467
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:01,200
modern times when everyone's
making sound pictures at that

468
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,300
point.
And it's because this character

469
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:09,200
like Taps into something about
the struggles of everyday life

470
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:12,800
and that in the middle of the
Great Depression, people are

471
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,400
still looking to the Tramp, not
just for inspiration but also as

472
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,200
a reflection and an empathy that
someone out there understands

473
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,200
what I'm going through and
someone is going through the

474
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,600
same thing as me and I think
that's what makes this

475
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,100
character.
Actor, so lasting.

476
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,000
Yeah.
No, I'm with you, 100%.

477
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,200
I'm curious.
If you have any thoughts on the

478
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,900
other pieces of this all-star
star-studded cast.

479
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,400
I know that you are 100%
familiar with them but you know,

480
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,900
Max Swain as Big Jim McKay.
Tom Murray is black Larson.

481
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:48,500
Malcolm weight is Jack Cameron
and Georgia.

482
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,200
Hale is Georgia.
You know these are big name

483
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,900
actors here.
Bob that everybody knows about

484
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,400
sure.
What did you think of their

485
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,100
performance?
You know, I thought it was great

486
00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:00,100
that they didn't try to
overshadow, Charlie Chaplin.

487
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:04,100
They were also much bigger than
he was and they let him kind of

488
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:07,000
Take the Lead, You know.
Yeah, that's very kind of them.

489
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:09,300
Honestly.
I think the one that I want to

490
00:27:09,308 --> 00:27:10,800
talk about and they're all
pretty great.

491
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,300
I think.
Georgia.

492
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:13,700
Hail does a good job.
Her character is a lot more

493
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:18,100
limited than Virginia channels
character last week.

494
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:21,500
Like, in terms of screen time,
the one that stuck out to me was

495
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:24,500
Max Wayne as Big Jim McKay.
I thought he didn't just a

496
00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:27,600
fantastic job.
I was reading an article or an

497
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,600
essay today where they talk
about how the film critic James

498
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,200
Agee described Max.
Wayne as a hairy mushroom, that

499
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,800
was not how he said that that he
looked in real life and I don't

500
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,900
know if I've ever heard of
meaner or a more accurate

501
00:27:41,900 --> 00:27:43,900
representation of what a person
looks like.

502
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:48,800
But yeah, that's another great
thing about chaplain is that he

503
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,800
always found interesting faces
to work with like these guys

504
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,700
look like they could have been
out there prospecting.

505
00:27:55,900 --> 00:28:00,100
And I think that adds a level of
like, this is clearly like an

506
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:04,500
overblown comedy, but the fact
that everybody else kind of fits

507
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:07,500
into the world at this movie is
pretending to build.

508
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,900
It allows the Tramp to come in
there and it doesn't break the

509
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:14,700
world apart.
He's just inserted into a very

510
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:17,100
believable situation.
Yeah.

511
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:21,000
I mean, honestly I really loved
the guy who played Black Larson.

512
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,700
Hmm.
I think that he reminded me of

513
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,800
is it Walter Huston In.
Oh yeah.

514
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,200
Oh good.
Yeah, the prospector from

515
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,200
Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
Like they just have such a

516
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,900
similar Vibe of their look,
obviously not of their

517
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:42,100
characters, but like they just
look like they belong,

518
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,400
prospecting for gold and period.
And so, yeah, I think that that

519
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,900
chaplain finds fascinating
actors to do the things that he

520
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:55,700
needs them to do which is like
you said that like they are

521
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:59,500
Accents on the performance.
That is Charlie Chaplin.

522
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:04,400
And I think that they, that in
this movie, especially I love

523
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Max Wayne.
And his, the way he,

524
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,700
Gesticulates constantly and the
way he uses his body to interact

525
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:18,000
with Charlie Chaplin.
Like he knows he's a lot bigger

526
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,700
than him.
And there's a lot of Comedy that

527
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:22,800
can come from that and it's an
incredible performance because

528
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,800
of that Tom Murray playing Black
Larson, the criminal is menacing

529
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,800
and and slightly terrifying.
And and it's it works for for

530
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,900
how small Charlie is and the
style of character that he's

531
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:39,200
trying to play.
I just I loved everybody in

532
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,100
this.
Movie, man.

533
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:42,000
You know, I want to just talk
real quickly about the black

534
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,400
Larson character because he's
only in, like the first 20

535
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,700
minutes of the movie, it's like
the first person that chaplain

536
00:29:47,700 --> 00:29:50,600
stumbles upon a cabin.
This guy black Larson is inside

537
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,100
the cabin.
He is a wanted murderer on the

538
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:57,100
lam and chaplain walks in and
creates havoc.

539
00:29:57,100 --> 00:29:59,900
And then this guy, big Jim McKay
also find shelter there in the

540
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:03,100
three of them are kind of cooped
up in this cabin for a while.

541
00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:07,200
When the camera goes off with
black Larson on his own, I was

542
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,300
really impressed at.
I don't want to call it like the

543
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:13,100
Action choreography.
But those were very impressive

544
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:17,200
scenes like he's getting.
He stumbles upon to, you know,

545
00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:19,300
Marshalls that are looking for
him.

546
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:22,800
He shoots one, he beats one with
a shovel.

547
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:28,100
Like it's, it's like intense
action sequences leading to

548
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,300
Larson.
Stumbling upon Big Jim McKay has

549
00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:34,700
big find of gold and trying to
flee with it.

550
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:39,300
And then this really impressive
sequence of like a cliff like a

551
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,100
an ice sheet breaking off of a
cliff and him falling to his

552
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:43,800
death.
And you can kind of tell that

553
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,900
there's there's early not green
screening but that they've

554
00:30:46,900 --> 00:30:51,700
inserted, you know, in the
camera, like a person into a

555
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:52,700
backdrop.
Right?

556
00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:54,900
Yep.
And I'm looking at that going

557
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:56,700
like okay?
Yeah, like I can tell what's

558
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:59,600
going on here but this is 100
years old dude.

559
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,900
Like it's, it's crazy.
How well this holds up, dude, I

560
00:31:03,900 --> 00:31:06,000
have with you.
I thought that as I was watching

561
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,600
that shot I'm like, you can tell
it's fake.

562
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,700
But it's pretty damn good man.
I couldn't lie.

563
00:31:11,708 --> 00:31:14,700
Could I do better in 2023?
Absolutely.

564
00:31:14,700 --> 00:31:19,100
Not like I can't know shop, a
still image like this is It's

565
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:21,300
really impressive.
Yeah.

566
00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:24,800
No, it really is.
And like you said, the, the, the

567
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:27,900
fight choreography in.
This is honestly really good to

568
00:31:27,900 --> 00:31:31,300
the point where I'm just kind of
like, you know, I feel like Tom

569
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:32,900
Murray might have been a real
criminal.

570
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,400
Yeah, I'm just, he was just
like, hey, just go beat these

571
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,800
two people in and, and we'll
call it a day and he really knew

572
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,200
what he was.
All right, man.

573
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,600
I think we're at a good place to
stop.

574
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,100
Let's press pause here.
Let's take a return trip to

575
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:48,400
Scotland and try this Tam.
Do what do you say dude?

576
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,700
I never thought you would say
that I love going to Scotland.

577
00:31:57,900 --> 00:31:59,600
Alright so today we are checking
out.

578
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:03,700
Tam do ten year.
This is a single malt scotch

579
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:06,700
whiskey from the space side
region, Brad.

580
00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:08,700
Let's let's go back a little
bit.

581
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,200
Let's give a refresher on Scotch
whiskey.

582
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,800
I'm Gonna Pop Quiz.
You tell me everything.

583
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,600
You remember about Scotch,
whiskey bread, Scotland.

584
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:20,700
Hey, malt malted barley.
Delicious.

585
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,000
Mmm, it's all you need to know.
Folks, that's it.

586
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,300
That's it, man.
Yeah, Scotch whisky, as with all

587
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:32,300
things will start at the very
Basics, all scotches whiskey,

588
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,600
not all whiskey is scotch.
Same way that all bourbon is

589
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,700
whiskey, not all Whiskey's
bourbon, Scotch is made in

590
00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:41,400
Scotland.
It has to be 100%, malted barley

591
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,400
and in general, you will find it
in one of two varieties.

592
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,100
It will either be Pete.
Adorned on peated.

593
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,200
Peated means that it tastes
delicious.

594
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:52,300
Non peated means that it tastes
delicious.

595
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:57,600
I think the biggest thing when
you're thinking about Scotch is

596
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,800
the region, that's what a lot of
people get really kind of held

597
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,100
up on and that's fine.
Like most of your peated scotch

598
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:09,700
is going to come as a Nyla
Scotch from the islands, on the

599
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:13,900
western sides of Scotland.
The orkneys is a place where a

600
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:19,100
few scotches come from and then
you have your speyside scotches

601
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:22,700
which are found near a river
that I can't think of the name

602
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:26,500
of Bob, is it the river spey?
I'm pretty sure it's Loch

603
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:28,700
Lomond, bread.
There we go.

604
00:33:28,700 --> 00:33:32,100
Let's go Ms. Yeah, yeah.
So there's space side and then

605
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:35,300
there's Highland whiskies and
I'm sure that there's more

606
00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:37,900
reasons than that.
I am still a novice when it

607
00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:41,600
comes to Scotch overall.
But you know, that's usually

608
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,600
you'll hear people talking about
space site or I'll has or things

609
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,800
like that.
Yeah, I mean you didn't listen

610
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,500
man you did pretty good on the
pop quiz here.

611
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,700
I will say that not all Scotch
is made.

612
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:57,200
Made only from malted barley.
You're also allowed to add

613
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,800
coloration to scotch in a way
that you're not allowed to do

614
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,500
with things like bourbon in
America.

615
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:04,900
And in order to achieve that
color, sometimes they add other

616
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:07,800
grains into the mix.
So when you look at a bottle of

617
00:34:07,808 --> 00:34:11,699
Scotch whiskey, if it says the
two words, single malt on it,

618
00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:15,199
that means two things put
together the word single means

619
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:17,900
that it comes from one.
Distillery one single

620
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:20,699
Distillery, the opposite of that
would be Blended.

621
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,500
And then the word mulch means
that it is made entirely from

622
00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:26,900
malted barley.
The opposite of that would be

623
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,400
grain.
So you could have single malt

624
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,500
single grain Blended malt or
Blended grain.

625
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,400
Scotch whisky what we're
drinking today.

626
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,800
Brad, as I said, is a single
malt.

627
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,600
Speyside scotch whisky has been
aged for 10 years exclusively in

628
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:47,000
Sherry casks and I'm very very
excited to dive into it.

629
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,800
This is clocking in at 86 proof
or 43% ABV.

630
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,100
Evie and we have talked long
enough.

631
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:54,300
Let's dive into this thing
bread.

632
00:34:55,199 --> 00:35:01,400
Yeah, as I jumped into the nose
here Bob, this is delectable.

633
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:06,300
I got strawberry jam, I got
honey, there's a bit of like, an

634
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:10,800
orange peel Citrus zest, feel to
it, and the longer I sat with

635
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,700
it, the more I felt like there
was like an almond extract

636
00:35:13,700 --> 00:35:16,900
nuttiness going on that.
I really enjoyed.

637
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,300
I give it a 9 out of 10 on the
nose.

638
00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:23,400
This is an interesting note.
Me Brad because we've had a few

639
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,300
space eyes on the show before.
I think probably the most

640
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:30,300
predominant ones were Glenlivet
and a burl hour and we talked

641
00:35:30,300 --> 00:35:35,000
about how soft and delicate and
floral and fruity they are this

642
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,200
one really toes the line for me
between smelling like a speyside

643
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,000
and smelling like a Highland.
I get a lot of like like

644
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,600
Glenmorangie on this to be
frank.

645
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,400
There's a lot more malt, a lot
more spiciness and like the very

646
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,700
faintest Whisper of almost like
Like if you get your nose too

647
00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:56,600
close to like like gasoline and
you kind of like prickles your

648
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,300
nose a little bit, you know what
I mean?

649
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:01,500
Yeah, like it's not, it's not
nail polish remover, but it has

650
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:03,700
that slight.
Oh, you need to take a step back

651
00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:07,200
here, you know, like Danger
Danger on your nose but mixed

652
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,000
with all of those lovely floral
and fruity notes as well.

653
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,000
It's a little bit perplexing to
me because I don't know what to

654
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,200
expect on the palate, but I am
going to give it an 8 out of 10

655
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,900
on the nose.
Yeah, when I got into the

656
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:25,500
palette Bob the almonds feel
came front right to the front.

657
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,300
I think I got almond slices.
There was some cherry, some

658
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:32,300
strawberry shortcake.
Kind of like with like a whipped

659
00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:36,200
cream creaminess feel to it and
then the, The Barley really

660
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,600
started to come through on the
palate, but it was soft enough

661
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,400
that it didn't overwhelm any of
the other stuff going on.

662
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:44,400
I'm sticking at a 9 out of 10 on
the flavor.

663
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,300
Bob, I think this is a really
incredible Scotch.

664
00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:49,400
Yeah, for me.
It's a Darker than what you're

665
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,500
describing Brad.
I think if there's a fruit on it

666
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:55,900
for me, It's almost like a
luxardo cherry like it's a, it's

667
00:36:55,900 --> 00:37:01,200
a brandied dark stone fruit.
And then all the barley in the

668
00:37:01,207 --> 00:37:06,600
world followed by some smokiness
and it's closer to char or an

669
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,700
ash, then it is a peat smoke.
Definitely darker in character.

670
00:37:10,700 --> 00:37:13,700
And I would, I would say this
tastes more like a Highland

671
00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:15,900
Scotch to me than it does a
space.

672
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,800
I'd just based on the ones we've
tried so far.

673
00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:21,600
I like this a lot.
It is surprising me in ways

674
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,900
that, you know, I definitely we
didn't expect it to.

675
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:26,700
So I'm going to give it a 7 out
of 10 on the palate.

676
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:32,800
Yeah, the Finish is really nice.
It's got about a medium finish.

677
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,900
It doesn't last crazy long, but
it sticks with you for a little

678
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:38,800
bit.
For me, I got into the darker

679
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,300
fruit territory on the Finish.
Blackberries Plum, the Almond

680
00:37:43,300 --> 00:37:48,500
stuck around and then it had a
nice vanilla Spritz at the end

681
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:52,100
that was intriguing.
I give it an eight and a half on

682
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,100
the Finish.
Yeah I think vanilla is a good

683
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:56,000
call here.
I was trying to pinpoint other

684
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,800
something sweet that I normally
get on American whiskeys and it

685
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,200
wasn't caramel and it's
definitely vanilla.

686
00:38:01,700 --> 00:38:05,000
It's really good man.
I will say that this is a little

687
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,800
spicier than I thought it would
be like, it's definitely not

688
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,100
alcohol forward.
It's not prickly in that way,

689
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,800
but it's got some black pepper
on it, which is really, really

690
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,300
nice.
It's this is like, almost

691
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:20,800
reminiscent of it's like the Rye
Whiskey of the speyside region.

692
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:23,900
That makes sense.
Yeah, and I like it a lot.

693
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:26,200
I'm gonna give it a seven point
five on the finish.

694
00:38:26,500 --> 00:38:29,600
I'll jump right in with balance.
I think that this is a very well

695
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,300
balanced whiskey.
I don't think that there was

696
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:35,100
much on the nose that Teased
something that wasn't there on

697
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:37,900
the taste or finish.
It definitely feels.

698
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,400
I don't want to say out of place
but just different from the

699
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,700
space sides.
We've tried so far but that

700
00:38:44,700 --> 00:38:47,800
difference was Apparent from the
get-go.

701
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,000
And so I think it is a really
consistent product, I'll give it

702
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,300
an 8 out of 10.
I give it a 9 and a half on

703
00:38:54,300 --> 00:38:56,300
balance.
I think that there's a

704
00:38:56,300 --> 00:39:01,900
complexity of flavor mixed with
a really nice experience that

705
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:06,400
that isn't a roller coaster.
I think that this was a very

706
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:11,300
well balanced whiskey that is.
Nine and a half Brad, I don't

707
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:13,100
know what the price on this is
right now.

708
00:39:13,100 --> 00:39:15,400
I think they stopped selling it
in the state of Ohio.

709
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:21,200
I'm like 99% certain that this
was part of one of my OHL Q last

710
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,900
call runs that I did for the
show.

711
00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:25,900
So I picked this up at a bit of
a discount but I don't know what

712
00:39:25,900 --> 00:39:30,700
it typically retails for.
What have you found the best I

713
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:34,100
can tell is that it's around a
fifty dollar, Whiskey in the

714
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:37,500
state's, I think this is a great
value for 50 bucks.

715
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:41,600
Like is it my favorite Scotch at
$50?

716
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:46,500
No but it's a 10-year Scotch
that has a very unique flavor

717
00:39:46,500 --> 00:39:48,600
profile.
You know, according to the

718
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:53,000
region that it's from and 50
bucks, I'll give it a 9 out of

719
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,600
10 man.
Yeah, that's exactly what I gave

720
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,400
it.
I think that you know, if this

721
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,400
was like anything under 50 it be
a 10 out of 10. $50 is like

722
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,400
right where it should be if not
a little higher.

723
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,200
This could be a 60 dollar bottle
of whiskey and I'd be like yeah

724
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,100
that makes sense.
So yeah. $50.

725
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:12,900
This is a nine out of ten value.
Bob I am coming out to a very

726
00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:15,200
high and I think it's going to
be a little bit higher than

727
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:21,100
yours 45 out of 50 Brad.
I'm at a 40 out of 50 and I will

728
00:40:21,100 --> 00:40:24,200
add the caveat that I like this
less than you.

729
00:40:24,500 --> 00:40:27,200
And the reason I'm at a 40 is
because I gave it a 9 out of 10

730
00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:32,900
on value, it would be a 31 out
of 40 on just the tasting

731
00:40:32,900 --> 00:40:35,200
experience, which is still good,
very good.

732
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,000
But this is not like in my upper
echelon of scotch.

733
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:40,600
Is that we've tried for this
show but it sounds like it's

734
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,500
really checking all the boxes
for you.

735
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:47,100
Yeah, I mean, I believe that
would put me at a 36 out of 40.

736
00:40:47,700 --> 00:40:52,000
So yes, I very much.
So enjoy this whiskey.

737
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,700
I think that it's very easily
worth a buy or a try.

738
00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:59,200
If you find it out in the wild,
I'll agree with that.

739
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,500
And we're coming out to an
average of a 42.5 or an 85 out

740
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:06,100
of 100.
Darn good, whiskey, Brad.

741
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:09,400
And I think that, yeah, you
know, if they Had this in the

742
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,200
chilkoot pass back in the day.
It really would have helped them

743
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,000
warm their cockles, as they
prospected for the gold, the

744
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
cockles of their soul.
Bob, let's get back to talking

745
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,100
about the cockles of Charlie
Chaplin's.

746
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:25,200
So, what say you?
Yeah, I don't want to talk about

747
00:41:25,300 --> 00:41:27,300
cockles on anyone, but that
sounds good man.

748
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:35,200
Let's do it.
All right, everybody, that was

749
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,300
Tam.
Do 10 a whiskey that we as you

750
00:41:38,300 --> 00:41:42,300
said at the start start of the
episode Bob struggled with, we

751
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:45,800
sure did 450 bucks, man.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying,

752
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,000
dude, it's good whiskey.
This almost would have been a

753
00:41:48,008 --> 00:41:53,700
bargain back in 1800 something.
Whenever this movie set Well,

754
00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:56,600
whether or not it's a bargain,
we are going to move into

755
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:01,900
Canada's favorite segments to
fax in a falsehood, is gonna try

756
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:08,100
to stop you by all right?
And what is wrong?

757
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:12,200
Two facts in a faucet to facts
in a falsehood is the part of

758
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,900
the show where Brad presents
three items to me, as fact about

759
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:19,500
the making of this movie, one of
which is a complete lie.

760
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,900
And I have to guess, which one
is the LIE, Bradley.

761
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:26,400
As, you know, I have checked 12
books out of the library, on

762
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,700
Charles Chaplin.
As we get into his films here

763
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,800
and I have read zero of them in
preparation for this episode.

764
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,600
I will tell you what I have done
for this episode so that you

765
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,000
don't get mad.
I glanced at the Wikipedia

766
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:45,700
article mostly for specs on how
long the movie was, and I read

767
00:42:45,700 --> 00:42:49,400
an essay in the Criterion
Collection, which I sent to you

768
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,100
before we start, we started
recording.

769
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:53,900
So that's literally To the
extent of my prep for this

770
00:42:53,900 --> 00:42:55,900
episode.
If you're going to pull one over

771
00:42:55,900 --> 00:43:00,000
on me, now is the time man.
Yeah, I'm absolutely ready.

772
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,600
I'm prepared to take the victory
home today.

773
00:43:03,500 --> 00:43:07,300
Let's do this, I will say I'm at
500 now last week you also

774
00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:09,900
episode 10 on the season, I am
five and five.

775
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,400
So this is really, you know,
this is the Crux of the thing

776
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,300
right now, A Clash of Titans, if
you will.

777
00:43:17,700 --> 00:43:21,300
Fact number one, an actual
American black bear was used for

778
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:24,000
the scene, where the lone
prospector encounters the Beast,

779
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,800
which was quite unusual for the
time when it was very normal for

780
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:30,300
large.
Phony looking costume men to

781
00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:35,800
play Animals fact, number two,
Chaplin originally envisioned

782
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,500
this film to take place in San
Francisco, California.

783
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,900
But was convinced by milk gross
that the Yukon had more

784
00:43:42,900 --> 00:43:46,100
potential for isolating.
Its main character due to its

785
00:43:46,100 --> 00:43:49,400
inclement weather, Weather.
Fact, number three, this movie

786
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,900
May feature the earliest born
actor in any major film born in

787
00:43:53,900 --> 00:43:58,000
1828 in modern-day Brownsville.
Texas, pop Taylor appears in

788
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,200
this movie as the ancient
dancing prospector, he was 70

789
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,300
years old at the time of the
actual Klondike Gold Rush of

790
00:44:05,300 --> 00:44:08,500
1898.
Wow, well that's cool.

791
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:11,400
I'm going to go ahead and assume
three is true.

792
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,300
I don't remember the ancient
dancing prospector but sure,

793
00:44:14,500 --> 00:44:18,900
we'll just say it's true.
One and two are interesting and

794
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:22,300
I'll start with number two.
I don't know if chaplain wanted

795
00:44:22,300 --> 00:44:25,000
to set this movie in San
Francisco.

796
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,800
Or where did you say?
You said San Francisco, right?

797
00:44:27,300 --> 00:44:29,300
Yeah, yep, the gold rush in San
Francisco.

798
00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:31,500
I don't know if he wanted to set
it in San Francisco.

799
00:44:31,500 --> 00:44:36,700
I know he wanted to film on
location and had to fill most of

800
00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:39,800
it in California, which I mean,
that makes sense.

801
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,200
So I know the difficulty know
the, the pull between going to

802
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,600
like Alaska or staying in
California.

803
00:44:45,700 --> 00:44:47,800
Nia was a thing.
I don't know if it had anything

804
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,300
to do with the setting of the
movie.

805
00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:53,200
Number one is interesting
because if you watch that scene

806
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,100
where the black bear comes in
the cabin, there's very

807
00:44:56,100 --> 00:44:58,300
obviously a real bear in some of
these scenes.

808
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,800
And then when it starts beating
people up, it's very obviously,

809
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,500
a person in a fake bear suit.
So I'm struggling with the way

810
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:09,900
that one's worded because it's
clearly a both and like there's

811
00:45:09,900 --> 00:45:13,300
definitely a bear.
There's definitely also a person

812
00:45:13,300 --> 00:45:20,600
in a suit I think I'm going to
say one, is the falsehood, just

813
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,200
by the way, it was written.
But I think one or two could be

814
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,300
false and if it's three then I
had no chance.

815
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:32,300
Well Bob fact, number two was
the false lot man.

816
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,000
Fact number one is the truth,
according to IMDb.

817
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:39,100
All right.
Well, I'm pretty sure there was

818
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:41,700
a guy in a bear suit in in those
scenes.

819
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,300
I don't know.
What's your take on that Fred?

820
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,600
I mean, On the wording of the,
the truth, or just the, whether

821
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,300
or not there was a real person,
I guess both.

822
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:56,000
But yeah, was there, it seems
like they enter cut a trained

823
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,600
bear with a guy Charlie.
Chaplin is fighting in a suit.

824
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:03,300
Yes, 100%, I'm with you.
All right, well I want half a

825
00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:04,600
victory, then this is
ridiculous.

826
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,500
So you are still at 500 with
five-and-a-half wins and five

827
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:14,100
and a half glasses.
All right Magill Ace will take

828
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:19,000
my L, but This is one of those
moments where it's like IMDb not

829
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:23,100
trustworthy.
I mean I think the focus was

830
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,100
more on the fact that they had a
bear at all right.

831
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,600
More than the fact that there
was a guy in a suit for some of

832
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,800
it, I feel it.
All right, so I think that was

833
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,100
the the point of the fact what
you really should have said was

834
00:46:35,100 --> 00:46:38,700
they got a giant six-foot
chicken to be in this movie one

835
00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:42,000
of the rarest chickens in the
world and not a Charlie Chaplin

836
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,000
dressed as a chicken.
Yeah.

837
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,600
Which actually It was supposed
to be somebody else.

838
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,200
Stresses the chicken, but
chaplain got so frustrated with

839
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,500
him that he just put the suit on
himself and did it.

840
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,000
I love that man.
Yeah.

841
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
Like I think I can be a better
chicken than this guy committed.

842
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,200
The auteur Charlie Chaplin
dressing as a chicken because

843
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,500
the other guy dresses, the
chicken wasn't doing a good

844
00:47:03,500 --> 00:47:06,500
enough job.
All right, man, where do you

845
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:08,300
want to go from here?
I feel like we've had a really

846
00:47:08,300 --> 00:47:13,500
good conversation about why?
Chaplain is an indelible figure

847
00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:16,000
and an endearing figure.
I feel like we've had a good

848
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,300
conversation about some of the
directorial choices.

849
00:47:18,300 --> 00:47:22,200
He made in this movie, may be
the best place to start Brad.

850
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,900
If I could kind of steer us
somewhere, is like what gags

851
00:47:25,900 --> 00:47:27,900
worked for you best what,
sequences from the movie?

852
00:47:27,900 --> 00:47:30,100
Do you remember the most aside
from the Old Lang?

853
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:31,600
Syne one that we've talked about
already.

854
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:37,900
I think the shot that I referred
to earlier, there's this moment

855
00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:41,500
where Charlie goes into the
dance hall for the first time

856
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:46,500
and he, you know, he has the,
The Boy Meets Girl, you know,

857
00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:49,200
when he sees Georgia and Falls
immediately in love.

858
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:55,700
And there's this shot where he
is like standing underneath, you

859
00:47:55,700 --> 00:47:58,800
know, kind of an overhang and a
ton of people around him just

860
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,600
talking and then the band
strikes up and you know, it's

861
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,300
time to dance.
And the camera just sits behind

862
00:48:05,300 --> 00:48:10,600
Charles like a little bit lower
than his waist, height kind of

863
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,800
looking up on him a tiny bit and
he's like perfectly silhouetted

864
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:20,500
by the ceiling above him.
And you just watch as every

865
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:25,800
human being in the dance.
Hall finds a partner and starts

866
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:32,100
dancing or talking or engaging
with someone and he just stands

867
00:48:32,100 --> 00:48:36,100
there.
They're open feet, taking it all

868
00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:42,100
in lonely, as I've ever seen a
human being on a, on in a movie,

869
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:48,200
and the camera just sits there
for a solid ten seconds, which

870
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,800
is a long time in.
When you think about movies,

871
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,800
especially where they're cut in
a lot of films with how quick

872
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:59,300
they go, it's just a solid 10 to
15 seconds on him standing

873
00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:01,200
there.
He kind of leans on his Cane a

874
00:49:01,207 --> 00:49:06,900
little bit and And you just feel
just from his back, the

875
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:10,600
loneliness that this character
is feeling and I'm just like,

876
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,300
sitting there going.
Oh, this is a perfect movie

877
00:49:14,300 --> 00:49:16,900
scene.
A perfect movie shot.

878
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Yep.
And I just, I don't know, man.

879
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,200
I it was mind-boggling.
And in that moment, I was like,

880
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:28,800
oh, I get it, like, I understand
why people love, Charlie

881
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,400
Chaplin.
It's stuff like this that I'm

882
00:49:32,408 --> 00:49:34,500
like Yep.
This is why he remains relevant

883
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:38,400
to 100 years later, it is like a
mind-bogglingly beautiful shot.

884
00:49:38,700 --> 00:49:42,100
And it's one of those things
where You almost got to hit

885
00:49:42,100 --> 00:49:44,600
pause on it and kind of take in,
why it's working.

886
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,100
So, well, it's the framing, it's
how big chaplain is in the

887
00:49:48,100 --> 00:49:51,700
frame, compared to the people
who are dancing physically away

888
00:49:51,700 --> 00:49:54,500
from him.
It's the way that the lens is

889
00:49:54,500 --> 00:49:56,700
kind of putting those people
further.

890
00:49:56,700 --> 00:49:59,400
And further out of focus, the
farther they get away from him,

891
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,100
it's the lighting.
And it's a really great example

892
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:06,400
of using, like, multiple points
of light to accentuate, or like,

893
00:50:06,500 --> 00:50:08,700
I don't know, D accentuate,
other areas.

894
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,900
It's the kind of smokiness of
that.

895
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,600
It's all in the way, the lights
catching that.

896
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,500
It is just a perfect shot.
I don't like.

897
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:19,900
Yeah, and it's really rare that
we spend more than 20 seconds,

898
00:50:19,900 --> 00:50:23,800
talking about how beautiful it
specific shot is in a movie, but

899
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,400
the framing of the Tramp,
looking on, at the rest of the

900
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:32,100
world having fun without him is
perhaps the like it's the most

901
00:50:32,100 --> 00:50:34,500
iconic image I can think of of
the Tramp.

902
00:50:34,500 --> 00:50:40,200
And I think that for me it makes
me think about Spielberg and the

903
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,300
way he talks about About John
Ford and, you know, like the

904
00:50:43,300 --> 00:50:45,900
famous meeting that he had when
he was a little kid.

905
00:50:46,100 --> 00:50:49,400
Yeah, or a teenager when he met
John Ford and John Ford's

906
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,200
talking about how to frame a
shot.

907
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,600
That's what I was thinking
about.

908
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,200
As I watched this shot, like I
thought about how people talk

909
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,100
about Ford that he didn't have
to move the camera because he

910
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:03,500
just shot a beautiful shot.
Like, you don't need to move the

911
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:06,100
camera if it's in the perfectly
right spot.

912
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:08,600
And I like that's what I was
thinking about.

913
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,500
As I watched this, this All seen
that I was just like, yeah.

914
00:51:12,500 --> 00:51:15,400
Like you don't need to move the
camera when it's in the perfect

915
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,700
spot like Charles knew what he
was doing here and it's just

916
00:51:19,700 --> 00:51:21,500
incredible.
And I couldn't walk away from

917
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:23,700
this episode, without talking
about it.

918
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:28,300
I think the two most famous kind
of gags in this movie, I don't

919
00:51:28,300 --> 00:51:29,600
know.
If I want to call him gags, but

920
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:34,800
like, famous comedy bits are
first, the cooking and eating of

921
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:39,100
the shoe really funny.
And at, like it's really great,

922
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:42,600
it's big, Jim McKay.
Okay, and the Tramp are in this

923
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,100
cabin and they've been starving
for days and days and days.

924
00:51:45,100 --> 00:51:47,900
While black Larson is out
shooting people and running off

925
00:51:47,900 --> 00:51:52,300
and dying and they have no idea
where he is and Chaplin Cooks,

926
00:51:52,300 --> 00:51:56,600
one of his shoes and they decide
to eat it and and Big Jim takes

927
00:51:56,900 --> 00:52:01,300
the the top part of the shoe and
leaves the Tramp, the heel of

928
00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:05,000
the shoe with Nails in it and
watching them both eat this

929
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,600
thing.
Like apparently the shoe was

930
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,100
made out of black licorice, I
think they do a really good job

931
00:52:09,100 --> 00:52:10,800
of selling that.
It is just cooked leather.

932
00:52:11,500 --> 00:52:14,600
Yep.
Watching the Tramp, take each of

933
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,600
these little nails and put them
in his mouth and like, pick

934
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,400
every bit of meat off of the
bone again.

935
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,600
Like, he's eating chicken wings
or like a rib or something.

936
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,200
Yeah, it's such a great moment,
man, dude.

937
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,700
The the whole opening scene with
the way he like gets backed off

938
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:33,500
by the gun and they're like,
backing around the room.

939
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,900
And the way that they eat, the,
the shoe that that whole

940
00:52:37,900 --> 00:52:43,100
sequence between him and Big,
Jim Jim is comedy gold.

941
00:52:43,100 --> 00:52:45,400
Oh yeah.
And I don't know if this is the

942
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,400
other set piece but I'm going to
point it out the whole house

943
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,100
falling off the edge of the
cliff.

944
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:55,700
Just feels like the best slap,
the best of slapstick comedy,

945
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,000
you know, and I love the house
teetering on the edge of the

946
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,400
cliff, but I almost love earlier
in the movie, every time the

947
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,700
door gets opened and there's
like a big gust of wind and

948
00:53:03,700 --> 00:53:06,400
their load, he's trying to kick
trap out of the house and

949
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,100
chaplains like running Against
the Wind and not going anywhere.

950
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:11,800
Mmm.
The other really Famous sequence

951
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,600
Brad and you might not know it
because I feel like it gets

952
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,100
buried under.
These bigger set pieces is this

953
00:53:17,100 --> 00:53:21,100
bit where chaplains dreaming?
And he does this little dance

954
00:53:21,100 --> 00:53:24,600
with the dinner rolls at where
he like, he puts two roles on a

955
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,800
fork and you pop them out.
Like it is his feet and he does

956
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,500
a dance on the table with honey.
It's really funny but I feel

957
00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:35,500
like I've never understood why
that is the like literally Brad.

958
00:53:35,500 --> 00:53:38,000
It's the most iconic thing
chaplain has ever done.

959
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,000
And apparently, I was just
reading in this essay today.

960
00:53:41,300 --> 00:53:45,400
When they premiered the movie in
Berlin, now again, we keep

961
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,300
getting circling back to Berlin
on these things.

962
00:53:47,300 --> 00:53:51,600
But pre Nazi Berlin.
They premiered this movie and

963
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,700
that bit killed so much that
they stopped the movie, and ran

964
00:53:55,700 --> 00:53:58,700
it back like during the premiere
of the movie.

965
00:53:59,100 --> 00:54:01,700
No.
It's, it's that iconic.

966
00:54:01,900 --> 00:54:05,300
And I feel like I'm pooh-poohing
like one of the most famous

967
00:54:05,300 --> 00:54:07,700
scenes in history.
It's a funny bit.

968
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:08,900
I don't know if I've ever
understood.

969
00:54:08,900 --> 00:54:11,000
Why it became the most iconic
chapters.

970
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:15,700
When bit, but I do think it does
a really good job of showing his

971
00:54:15,700 --> 00:54:19,400
physicality like it.
He looks like a small man doing

972
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,600
a dance on a table with dinner
rolls for feet.

973
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:23,800
And I think it works really
well.

974
00:54:24,500 --> 00:54:30,100
I think the reason it works and
it kills so much is that he is

975
00:54:30,100 --> 00:54:37,600
just so incredibly smooth, like
the, the way he uses his hands

976
00:54:37,900 --> 00:54:42,100
and the way he flips these
dinner rolls around like It's so

977
00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:47,300
much looks like a real Can-Can
that it's I'm about to do it.

978
00:54:47,300 --> 00:54:50,900
It's uncanny.
Hey how much it looks like he's

979
00:54:50,900 --> 00:54:54,500
actually doing it and you're I
feel like it's almost man.

980
00:54:54,500 --> 00:54:58,100
I'm just I'm on a roll here.
Bob it's almost an uncanny

981
00:54:58,100 --> 00:55:02,000
valley.
Mmm of like it is so smooth and

982
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,600
looks so much like an actual
Can-Can and yet it's just dinner

983
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:07,800
rolls on Forks.
Yeah.

984
00:55:07,900 --> 00:55:10,900
And the I was losing it when I
was watching it.

985
00:55:11,100 --> 00:55:12,900
Do it.
I thought that was an incredibly

986
00:55:12,900 --> 00:55:14,700
funny scene.
I would agree with you though

987
00:55:14,700 --> 00:55:16,500
that.
I don't know why that would be

988
00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:19,400
the funniest.
All right man.

989
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,700
I think we're at a good spot to
segue into our last segment of

990
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:27,500
the day which we call, let's
make it a double we near the end

991
00:55:27,500 --> 00:55:30,100
of the episode.
So thanks for listening to the

992
00:55:30,100 --> 00:55:32,800
film and whiskey show.
Let's pair another film with

993
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,400
this one.
Even if it's struggle, it's a

994
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,200
final section of the day.
Now let's make it a double.

995
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,600
Let's make it.
A double is the part of the

996
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,000
show, where we pick a movie to
pair up with this one to make

997
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,700
the perfect double feature Brad.
I didn't really have one coming

998
00:55:45,700 --> 00:55:47,800
into this episode and I feel
like you've given me the

999
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,300
inspiration.
Eration to just say, it's

1000
00:55:50,300 --> 00:55:53,200
Treasure of the Sierra Madre,
like it's that's about Perry.

1001
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,300
I could possibly think of two
great movies about prospecting

1002
00:55:56,300 --> 00:56:00,000
for gold, and they go in wildly,
different directions.

1003
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,500
Yeah, 100%.
And I think that Treasure of the

1004
00:56:03,500 --> 00:56:08,700
Sierra Madre Works especially
because of the Ridiculousness of

1005
00:56:08,700 --> 00:56:11,900
that movie and yet, how grounded
it remains.

1006
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,600
And I think that in a similar
way like the, you know, the Gold

1007
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,100
Rush is a ridiculous movie with
slapstick.

1008
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,300
The end yet.
It somehow stays grounded in the

1009
00:56:21,300 --> 00:56:24,400
real experience of loneliness
that pretty much every human has

1010
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,200
felt.
So I think that's a really good

1011
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,200
pairing Bob.
Is that your parent?

1012
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,400
No, I think I want to get it out
of the way and I think it works

1013
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,300
here because of how much
slapstick comedy occurs in this

1014
00:56:36,300 --> 00:56:38,400
film.
I don't know if I'm gonna

1015
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,000
partner with a movie.
I'm just going to partner with

1016
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:45,700
the Three Stooges.
Mmm, like, you know, because as

1017
00:56:45,700 --> 00:56:48,600
best as I can remember, I don't
know if They made a

1018
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,800
feature-length movie but they
had a lot of like half hour

1019
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:57,100
comedy specials that were truly
incredible.

1020
00:56:57,700 --> 00:57:01,400
And so I would say just go
watch, you know, three or four

1021
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,500
episodes of The Three Stooges
and pair it with the gold rush

1022
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,600
and you'll have an absolutely
entertaining evening.

1023
00:57:09,300 --> 00:57:12,200
I think that's a great pairing
and this is the one that I would

1024
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,300
do that pairing for because
among the four films like

1025
00:57:15,300 --> 00:57:18,700
there's definitely slapstick
bits and there's a Out of bits

1026
00:57:18,700 --> 00:57:20,800
where he's interacting with a
second person and doing

1027
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:25,400
pratfalls, but this is the most
Three Stooges e of the four

1028
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:26,500
movies.
We're going to watch.

1029
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,300
Yeah.
That's that's kind of what I

1030
00:57:28,300 --> 00:57:32,100
felt and so I was like, I think
this is a good space for that.

1031
00:57:32,500 --> 00:57:34,800
All right, Brad, it's time for
final scores.

1032
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:39,200
I really like this movie, I just
don't think it hits the heights

1033
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,100
of City Lights.
Well, that's not true.

1034
00:57:41,300 --> 00:57:45,400
It exceeds the comedic Heights
of city lights, but we're City

1035
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:50,000
Lights is like a 9.5 for me on
every Single category, I think

1036
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,700
this movie.
The second act, especially

1037
00:57:52,900 --> 00:57:56,200
really drags for me.
The ongoing thing about that

1038
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,300
bully and his interactions with
Georgia.

1039
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,700
I feel like the scenes where
it's just the two of them

1040
00:58:01,700 --> 00:58:04,000
talking about like what they're
going to do together and whether

1041
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,400
or not he likes her, I could
care less get me back to the

1042
00:58:07,408 --> 00:58:10,200
Tramp.
I think the the way the movie

1043
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,600
ends is really really funny.
It's almost like a Shakespeare

1044
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,800
comedy where, you know, everyone
gets married at the end.

1045
00:58:15,100 --> 00:58:19,100
But the the way that they go
from like, This guy is a

1046
00:58:19,100 --> 00:58:21,000
stowaway.
Let's put him in jail to like

1047
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,500
no, he's not, he's a millionaire
and then he goes and this is my

1048
00:58:24,500 --> 00:58:27,200
wife and she's like, all right,
cool, let's get married.

1049
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,400
Yeah, really kind of whiplash on
that relationship.

1050
00:58:31,700 --> 00:58:33,600
So I think that there's flaws to
this movie.

1051
00:58:33,700 --> 00:58:35,700
It's still an 8.5 out of 10 for
me.

1052
00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:42,200
I like this one a lot more than
I liked city lights and I like

1053
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,800
City Lights.
This was a 9 out of 10 for me.

1054
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:49,200
Bob, I think that the Comedy
Works the, the slapstick

1055
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:53,600
elements, the dramatic elements.
I love a lot of the camera work

1056
00:58:53,900 --> 00:58:55,500
and I like the setting a little
bit better.

1057
00:58:55,500 --> 00:58:58,800
So yeah, 9 out of 10 for me.
All right, we're coming out to

1058
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,600
an eight point seven five out of
ten but we would like to know

1059
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,800
what you think.
Maybe I'm completely wrong about

1060
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,400
how many people out there have
watched Chaplin's films and

1061
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,300
you're all going to rake me over
the coals and say that I called

1062
00:59:10,300 --> 00:59:13,000
you all Rubes.
But I would like you to do that

1063
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,900
in the form of a message on our
social media accounts.

1064
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,700
So you can reach out to me and
Brad to congratulate him on

1065
00:59:19,700 --> 00:59:23,600
being smarter, than me, Facebook
Twitter, Instagram, and

1066
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:27,500
Tick-Tock at film whiskey, or
you can jump onto our Discord.

1067

Discord is a beautiful place

1068
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,200

00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,300
Come, join us.
We're talking about all sorts of

1074
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,800
next week, Brad, we are throwing
it all the way forward to 1940.

1075
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,700
So this is chronologically the
last movie in our set of for its

1076
00:59:52,700 --> 00:59:56,100
chaplains.
First sound film and he uses it

1077
00:59:56,100 --> 00:59:57,600
to Great extent.
It's also going to be the

1078
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,000
longest one we watch from.
Chaplain at just a little over

1079
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,700
two hours.
It's called The Great Dictator.

1080
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,500
So, we're watch that one next
week.

1081
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,400
But until then, I'm Bob book.
I'm Brad G and we'll see you

1082
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:09,100
next time.
