Description of this The Kid Charlie Chaplin Poster
The Kid is a 1921 American silent comedy-drama film written, produced, directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, and starring Jackie Coogan as his foundling, adopted son, and sidekick. This is Chaplin's first feature film as director. It was a huge success and was the second highest-grossing film in 1921. Now considered one of the greatest films of the silent era, it was selected in 2011 by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
With great anguish, a single mother abandons her child, placing him in an expensive car with a handwritten note: "Please love and care for this orphan child." Two thieves take the car and leave the baby in an alley, where he is found by the tramp. After trying to entrust the child to various passers-by, he finds the note and his heart melts. He takes the child home, calls him John and arranges his furniture for him. Meanwhile, the mother changes her mind and returns to pick up her baby; when she learns that the car has been stolen, she faints.
Five years pass. The Kid and the Tramp live in the same small room; they have little money but a lot of love. They support themselves through a little scheme: the kid throws stones to break the windows so that the tramp, who works as a glazier, gets paid to repair them. In the meantime, the mother has become a rich actress and does charity by giving gifts to poor children. By chance, while she is doing so, the mother and the child cross paths without knowing it.
Later, the child gets into a fight with another neighborhood boy, as local residents gather to watch the spectacle. The kid wins, which draws the ire of the other boy's big brother, who attacks the tramp as a result. The mother breaks up the fight, but it resumes after she leaves and the tramp continues to hit the "big brother" in the head with a brick between blows until he walks away.
Soon after, the mother advises the tramp to call a doctor after the kid gets sick. The doctor discovers that the tramp is not the kid's father and warns the authorities. Two men come to pick up the boy to take him to an orphanage, but after a fight and a chase, the tramp and the boy remain side by side. When the mother returns to see how the boy is doing, she meets the doctor, who shows her the note (which he had taken from the tramp); she recognizes it as the one she left with her baby years ago.
Now fugitives, the tramp and the boy spend the night in a night shelter. His owner learns of a $1,000 reward offered by the authorities and takes the kid to the police station, while the tramp is asleep. As the tearful mother finds her lost child, the tramp frantically searches for the missing boy. Without success, he returns to the door of their humble dwelling, where he falls asleep, entering a "dreamland" where his neighbors have transformed into angels and devils. A policeman wakes him up and takes him to a mansion. There, the door is opened by the mother and the kid, who jumps into the arms of the tramp, who welcomes him.
