Movie Review Assignment The Immigrant The Immigrant‚ starring (Charlie Chaplin) is a slapstick comedic tale of the voyage to America. The movie makes light of the deplorable conditions that they faced during their trek across the Atlantic and the hardships they faced upon arrival. In the first appearance of Chaplin in the film‚ he is bent over the side of the ship. I like most everyone else thought he was sick‚ but lifts up to reveal that he caught a fish. There are several comical moments

As Canadians‚ we proudly wave our multicultural flag and try not act superior towards our American neighbours. Living in such a lush and accepting country‚ it is hard not to glance upon the maple leaf and feel some sense of nationalistic pride. Canada is generally an inclusive and safe country‚ however not everyone has the luxury of enjoying this level of comfort. The thought of our country ignoring the cries of violence against Indigenous women and girls‚ is downright absurd. The Canadian government

Through the
