🌟 In City Lights, friendship and social ranking are not always as they seem. We enter a world of a disenchanted bourgeoisie, where a tramp is king and a blind girl, queen.

Despite being a silent film in an era of "talkies," City Lights continues to be understood and appreciated universally, a quality noted by Albert Einstein himself. 

"If only one of Charles Chaplin’s films could be preserved, “City Lights” would come the closest to representing all the different notes of his genius. It contains the slapstick, the pathos, the pantomime, the effortless physical coordination, the melodrama, the bawdiness, the grace, and, of course, the Little Tramp–the character said, at one time, to be the most famous image on earth." -Roger Ebert
