Cruel, Cruel Love (1914)

Rate: 5
Viewed: 8/06

8/06: For a Chaplin picture, Cruel, Cruel Love is much better this time around because of the improved quality.

Yet it's still the same crap. Once again, Charlie Chaplin is an abominable asshole, giving me a hard time to put up with his antics. It'll be nice to see more words to get an idea of where the plot is going. Hence, there's no wonder The Birth of a Nation is often credited as the first picture to tell a coherent story.

All in all, Cruel, Cruel Love is an improvement over the seven previous Chaplin film shorts.
