Can dancing shoes be made with just two rolls and two forks? Are the sole and nails of a climbing boot edible? Can a cabin on a snowy mountaintop sway as if suspended over nothing? Is emotion tangible? Can the truth of life be filmed? Questions that range from the most comical to the most metaphysical and intangible. They are all contained in The gold rush (1925), one of the essential films in the history of cinema, a masterpiece, a singular work of art by Charles Chaplin that celebrates its centenary this year. Incredible, isn't it? One hundred years old and as young as the first day, so inspiring, so poetic, and precious. Eternally sustained in time, it will be admired forever. No matter what new generations come next, they will continue to be surprised like all the previous ones, they will continue to laugh and smile at the wit and gags of the tramp with the mustache and the bowler hat. Charlot's charlottes, yes, that's what Charlot's comic discoveries are called. Even if you know them almost by heart, you always want to go back to see if they still have the same beneficial effects as all the previous ones. It's relevant that we celebrate today. The gold rush And we envy those who can enjoy it for the first time these days, as it returns to movie screens for its centenary. If you can't enjoy it on the big screen, you have multiple home options. From Movistar and Apple TV to the still-popular DVD and Blu-ray formats.
