Trailer

The Gold Rush is a silent film, originally made in  1925 and remastered in 1942, where he added  his voice over to narrate and cut out the final scene, due to it not connecting with the way the "tramp" character had been portrayed. It was a comedy film produced, written and directed by Auteur Charlie Chaplin. Its based on the narrative themes of mainly hunger, poverty and survival and chaplin uses the character of the "Tramp" to portray them.
Chaplin was inspired by the horrible events that happened to the Donner party, he turns the horrific events into a form of comedy, an example of this is when he eats his shoe. He was also inspired a lot by his own life and his personal experiences growing up in London. 

The main actress of this film was meant to be Lita Grey, however they quickly embarked on an affair with her, six months into film, she discovered she was pregnant, Chaplin found himself into marriage
