@jerryaltman our society has always been "sad and selfish." the only things thats changed is why it is sad and selfish. we used to enslave and own another race, we used to not allow women to vote or own property, etc., its not just now that all the sudden we have become sad and selfish.

@lostv7 Charlie was divorced from Lita Grey while he was filming "The Circus", and it wasn't amicably settled, to say the least. Besides, the set was destroyed by fire, so putting it all together, it mustn't have been a very happy film for Chaplin.

While I love this movie(and this ending) I can't help but notice that this feature is some kind of limbo for Chaplin. It doesn't seems to have a theme like the rest of his long films(The childcare-system in "The Kid", Society in general in "Modern Times", facism in "The Great Dictator") Of course it has the love theme like "City Lights" and "Goldrush" but still, not as much.
This feature seems to me like a tribute to all the short films he made in his early days, yet it is a great movie

@boulein What?

@lostv7 It was around the time he made this film that his marriage to Lita Grey - his second wife - was disintigrating. Very messy divorce. She basically went out of her way to try and ruin his reputation, and even tried to win rights to this movie. He eventually had a nervous breakdown as a result. It was such a tumultous time that he doesn't even mention this movie in his autobiography.

@jerryaltman I know. now its hitting younger people. I should know I see people hurt themselves without even knowing it. its sickening.

In this film the Tramp shows that he cares more for the girls happiness than for his own. If we compare with today, when people just care about pleasure... What a sad and selfish society we have now.

Circus, in my opinion, is the best of all of Cahrlie's films. This ending is definately one of the reasons. So powerful.
