Just watched "The Kid" for the first time expecting a silent "Three Stooges" sort of film. I was captivated by the depth of Chaplin's work, and of silent films in general. I'm not a connosieur of cinema, and my initial expectations for silent films must have been set by those GIFs of Buster Keaton regularly posted on Reddit. All in all a very pleasant surprise.
