«Бродяга» (англ. The Tramp, другие названия — Charlie on the Farm / Charlie the Hobo / Charlie the Tramp) — короткометражный немой фильм Чарльза Чаплина, выпущенный 12 апреля 1915 года. В фильме рассказывается история про Бродягу, защитившего девушку, которую пытались ограбить трое других бродяг. Девушка помогает бедному «рыцарю» устроиться работать на ферму своего отца, и дальше идёт каскад комических ситуаций из сельской жизни. Основным мотивом данного каскада является битьё мешком с мукой по голове неприятного персонажа и пинки под зад. Время от времени главный герой тоже получает по голове и ненадолго выключается из событий. Небольшие конфликты с работодателем не омрачают пасторального существования. Романтическая линия отношений со всё той же девушкой перемежается с попытками подоить корову или полить деревья. Далее трое бродяг, ранее пытавшихся ограбить девушку, приходят к главному герою с предложением ограбить хозяина. Он соглашается, намереваясь их обмануть. Постоянно происходит путаница, и по голове всё время получают непричастные. В конце концов грабители изгнаны, главный герой ранен из револьвера в ногу… А к девушке приезжает молодой человек. И Бродяга понимает, что доброта — ещё не любовь. И пишет короткую прощальную записку… Чарли Чаплин — Бродяга Эрнест Ван Пелт — фермер Эдна Пёрвиэнс — его дочь Пэдди Макгуайр — его помощник Лео Уайт — первый грабитель Ллойд Бэкон — жених девушки / второй грабитель Бад Джемисон — третий грабитель Билли Армстронг — человек с книгой The Tramp is Charlie Chaplin's sixth film for Essanay Studios and was released in 1915. Directed by Chaplin, it was the fifth and last film made at Essanay's Niles, California studio.[1] The Tramp marked the beginning of The Tramp character most known today, even though Chaplin played the character in earlier films. This film marked the first departure from his more slapstick character in the earlier films, with a sad ending and showing he cared for others, rather than just himself. The film co-stars Edna Purviance as the farmer's daughter and Ernest Van Pelt as Edna's father. The outdoor scenes were filmed on location near Niles. The film starts with Charlie Chaplin walking down the road. He doesn't see a cart come by and he barely manages to escape. Barely a few seconds later, another carts floors Charlie. Not being able to fathom what just happened, he dusts himself off and decides to seek refuge in a nearby farm. There, he does the classic gag of taking his hat out to a tree. He sits underneath it and decides to eat his sandwich. However, a hobo exchanges Charlie's sandwich for a brick, so Charlie must eat grass. Charlie sees this, and knows he cannot do anything, so he just sits there. The same hobo, however, molests a farmer's daughter (Edna Pruviance), and she runs up to Charlie, who comes to her aid with the help of the brick. The hobo tries getting Charlie out of the way, but Charlie kicks him off. Two more hobos show up when the angry hobo tells them about how Charlie humiliated him, but these are no bother for Charlie, who throws all three into the lake. However, they have their fifteen seconds of fame when they throw stones at Charlie, and he sits down on a bunch of logs and sets his posterior on fire. He sits down in a sewage pipe to cool his posterior off, where Edna finds him. The grateful girl takes Charlie home, where the farmer's father decides that "as a reward, you can work". Edna seats herself on the lunch table, and, unaware about this, Charlie throws his brick on the table, giving the table a jolt. There, he helps another farmhand with work. He gets a shovel and frequently pokes the farmhand with it, especially while he is carrying loads, to make him move faster. When Charlie attempts helping him with the load, he does a terrible job. He climbs up a ladder, takes the load and, instead of climbing down to keep the load down, just throws it down. Later, they realize that he threw the load down on another man, who's passed out under the sheer weight. This over, him and the farmhand go to get the eggs that the chicks lay. However, the duo get into a tiff, where Charlie smashes an egg on the farmhand's forehead. It smells disgusting, so they think about what they can do with it. They see a man enjoying nature with a spiritual book. Charlie suddenly gets an idea. While the man is enjoying nature, and unaware that the spiritual book actually exists, Charlie sneakily puts the smashed egg on the open page, and sneaks away. Just then, the man closes his book, and the egg yolk spills down on his coat. But he doesn't realize this as he's still lost to nature.
