Charlie Chaplin's silent black and white film "The Gold Rush" was a very interesting as well as entertaining creation. It was the first silent all black and white film that I ever watched before and i have to say that i was very impressed. Chaplin's movements, actions, and gestures all throughout the film provide a great sense of humor that i would have never expected possible without being able to hear the voices of the actors themselves. i also found it interesting how the entire movie almost seemed to be broken up into several different stories all playing out into one ending. Some of the movies most important characters weren't even introduced until at least half way through the film.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
