      Audience Member I <3 Charlie Chaplin!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Not one of Chaplin's best movies, but still pretty good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Very smart idea to use Chaplin for a propaganda film, but as entertainment it doesn't hold up and is just boring to watch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I feel a bit strange reviewing a propaganda flick, but I make it an effort to review every film I see, so here I go. Anyway, The Bond is perhaps Charlie's most artistic, poetic, and unique effort. The film entirely consists of expressionistic skits, shot on a set of props with a black backdrop. It's a truly intriguing experience, and it's wonderfully strange to see a film like this, being it is so different than his other films. I'm not the most politically savvy person in the world (in fact, I'm probably the least), so I'm a little indifferent when it comes to the film's message. I didn't really "get" what the film was about, but it was an interesting experience to see Charlie in such a different environment. It wasn't very funny, but I don't think it was really meant to be a laugh riot. All in all, I feel it's a must-see for any hardcore Chaplin fan, if you can manage to forget the propaganda, you'll find the experience very interesting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm being mean to it because it's a propaganda film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderfull comedian, without sounds, simply facial expressions, he makes me laugh until i cry. :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
