In the films The Immigrant and The Pawnshop,
Chaplin works in the other end of the spectrum by interpreting the role of a
man who is part of the lower classes. In both of these movies, the camera is
truthful to Chaplin’s point of view, creating a disputable empathy with the
main character. The audience cheers for him to find the way of paying the bill,
getting the girl, and saving the day. In addition, these stories create kinetic
satisfaction for the audiences. Finally, the low stratus of society is the
smartest one: they are the ones fooling authority and saving the day.
