The Wonderful Genius of Charlie Chaplin

Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 - 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, film-maker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona "the Tramp" and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry.
His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977, and encompassed both creative genius and controversy.
Music by Max Richter.

My 15 month old daughter & I were cracking up watching this today. When you are making one year olds laugh 100 years in the future - that's true comic genius!

People always compare Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, but in reality, their styles of comedy were so unique and brilliant in their own ways that we can't really compare them. I like to look at them as equals.

[@williamdmason9375]

Molly R. Goates people like to play them of against each other....me i just want to enjoy there talents and individualism....anyway beats hands down anything on television today....Its absolutely hilarious fuuny and a hundred years later they still are topical and it does what it is on the bottle....make you laugh and smile... And thats the tonic for life....joie de vivre.... reasoń dètreè.....its makes you..jolly molly..👍

The only think Chaplin and keaton have in common is they were so small. Gravity didn’t seem to apply.

Pure comedy gold. Wow. The Kid...that is one that makes you laugh and cry.

[@scottmoore1614]

The Kid is one of my favorite Chaplin films. Jackie Coogan was amazing and a genius in his own right. City Lights is also a favorite..that ending is guaranteed to make you cry.

[@tyronecamp4246]

Sometimes someone is born into this world whose very existence is the definition of art -uplifting, intense. Words like genius and innovative fall short. he was incomparable, no other person could he be measured against.. in a way a superman.

[@scottmoore1614]

I’m reading his autobiography right now. I’m convinced that he was truly one of a kind….like a messiah of the silver screen, a shooting star that left a trail across all of time. His life and his art were unparalleled. To rise from such extreme poverty to literally become the most famous man on the face of the earth is one of the most amazing stories of all time. His talent and genius transcends time. People will still watch in awe and wonder 1000 years from now.

[@OGUZ888]

The way he smiles with women with a little shyness is just amazing and so unique we miss this nowadays a lot, whenever you smile with a girl, you get a cold face back.

[@1mespud]

Love the iconic ending. I can't believe this guy went through all this trouble just to make me smile. It's people like Chaplin, Keaton, Harold Loyd, Laurel and Hardy that helped made life more tolerable. Their hard work was also their generosity and I thank them for it..

Yeah, Buster Keaton would have, but Charlie Chaplin hated TV. He wouldn't even let his children watch it. Buster loved it though. He knew it would be the future, even after only one afternoon of watching it. I'm not dissing Chaplin by saying this though. He's fantastic. ☺️

People often wonder why Keaton didn't get the same recognition as Chaplin. Simple; Chaplin was first. By 1916, after just two years making short films he was the most famous man on the planet and considered the funniest. Keaton was kind of like George Harrison, doing great things after someone else had already conquered the world. Anyway, they were both great physical comedians but totally different. I love Keaton but Chaplin makes me laugh more.
