I’ve been a Chaplin fan for thirty years. I just reread his autobiography again. In my mind, Chaplin seems to become even more of a genius with each passing year!
Wow, GREAT video, surprised it doesn't have more views! I have recently fell in love with Chaplin's films, especially those in the late-silent era and his sound films. This nicely summed up Chaplin's genius when it came to the use of sound; he didn't take it for granted but he also knew exactly when it was needed. It was magical for me watching the Tramp "speak" for the first time, as it showed that he valued the Tramp's silence and universal appeal because of it. His walk into the sunset symbolizes entering a new era of film, similarly to the Tramp's walk at the end of The Circus, which symbolized Chaplin transitioning from fully-silent to sound-integrated films. Again, great video, very well said and well edited! It is great to see that there is still some Chaplin appreciation out there. Although he was the most famous man of his time, he doesn't get enough praise or recognition today!
This is most superb. I’m a lifelong student and admirer of Charlie Chaplin. You know what you’re talking about. You understand his art. I just interviewed his grandson Spencer. What ah honor.
Excellent!!! I love Charlie Chaplin in all his films and still am not close to seeing them all but that is the joy of Chaplin. I will never be finished because rewatching all he gave us over and over again is the greatest tribute to Charlie Chaplin I can give him. He's in my heart and soul and will never leave!!!❤❤❤
This is terrific. I mean, really good. I’m sorry you don’t have the views you deserve, but thank you for taking the time to make it. You clearly do your research. I’ve always loved Buster Keaton and simply passed over Chaplin. Now I’m intrigued and can’t wait to watch Limelight along with other important films.
I Love Buster Keaton as well. Sherlock Jr was my first ever silent comedy. If you haven't already, check out Harold Lloyd as well. I just saw Safety Last for the first time last year and it's delightful!
What a wonderful little documentary you’ve created. Thank you for your interest in cinematic history and your work to make it accessible to modern audiences.
I knew he was British but I was actually surprised he didn’t have that thick of a accent unless he was purposely making it less obvious for the speech. Either way, the man is a legend.
You could easily extend Chaplin’s non-fuckedness into Monsieur Verdoux….punk filmmaker. Great approach here. Ive been a Chaplin fan from age 9. You’re on the money.
I'm a big laurel and hardy fan, so I've spent many Halloweens as Laurel for the first part of the night only to add a mustache and say I was Chaplin. I'm laughing my ass off 17 minutes in and I just had to say I'm now a huge fan of your video and I'm subscribing! Thank you for making me laugh and learn on a Monday afternoon
I have never seen this things about Charlie Chaplin. I am talking about his personal opinion although many people accused him to be a cheapskate but in the dictator he lost so much money and he didn't really care. He interests where to fight for that cause. I am really touch by that attitude. Incredible work. Thank you so much for this.
You said something untrue. Hitler wasn’t beloved when the film was released. He had been but it radically changed after the Crystal night and the annexions of Austria (two events depicted in the film). Filming began in SEPTEMBER 1939 soon AFTER hitler had invaded Poland and Britain and France had run out of patience and declared war on Germany. They had already nearly done it once when he invaded Czechoslovakia the year before. They hadn’t only because they wanted to avoid a bloodbath like the Great War at any cost, knowing that Europe would crumble even if they won. In Switzerland, the army had been assembled to respond to the treat of an invasion by Germany. When the Swiss Nazi paraded in Zurich, the population insulted them, called them “Germans” and threw them eggs. Chaplin wasn’t warning peoples, he was depicting actual events that had already took place.
The sad truth is many of the people we idolize for their creativity or inventiveness are not people we should look up to in many other aspects of their behavior.
Fun fact, Hitler was actually in love with Charlie Chaplin, in fact so much it’s why hitler got his moustache, only for him to be “betrayed” by Chaplin roasting his ass, hitler was so Angry after the great Dictator he ordered his soldiers not to kill him if captured as he wanted to kill him himself
Ok this may be true but what your leaving out is that Chaplin arranged a soundtrack for modern times to go along with the film but yes the entire film other then what I just said is silent.
In what ways? Not a challenge, a genuine question. My point of entry into this story was from the angle of film appreciation more than being a history buff so while I made this as accurate as I could, I’m more than open to improving my historical knowledge, especially if I can add notes to the description of this video to make it more accurate.
@@NewfangledMPC Only thing I noted was the small mistake of saying 1938 instead of 1939, but you showed it to be a typo by correctly saying it coincided with the war's beginning...

I didn't even notice until halfway through but only 500 views??? This is great and a very underrated video good job on this!
How kind of you to say! Thanks for watching and I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Amazing work. Love it.

Thanks so much! Wow that is incredible, is there anywhere I can read/watch the interview?
Wow that’s amazing

Would you kindly let me know where the clip at 18:20 comes from? :")
I've heard The Modern Times song before have seen the movie. At that time I thought it was Italian.
Sure the melody was made into the song Smile for Nat King Cole
Awesome job. Hope you get more followers man!
great video bro.
Nice. He really didn't did he? Only he did. What a dichotomy.

Ha ha that’s fantastic! I’m glad you’re enjoying the video, thanks a ton for watching.
It's interesting how much more valid the "Dictator" speech became after the 2020 election as compared to the 2016.

Gifted man who also had many, many demons. Thank you for sharing your insights.
The sad truth is many of the people we idolize for their creativity or inventiveness are not people we should look up to in many other aspects of their behavior.
Fabulous. Thank you
Great video ❤❤❤
Mich appreciated!
It seems like everyone forgets his mustache was fake.
Yes it was
Fun fact, Hitler was actually in love with Charlie Chaplin, in fact so much it’s why hitler got his moustache, only for him to be “betrayed” by Chaplin roasting his ass, hitler was so Angry after the great Dictator he ordered his soldiers not to kill him if captured as he wanted to kill him himself
Waw. Really? Where did you hear that
Enjoying your content. So informative
Thanks, very enjoyable. New Subscriber.

CRIP WALK 🤣🤣
My dear this video was excellent, superb, very good-GOOD!.
@@ShēnaLeah very kind of you to say! Thanks for watching.
@@NewfangledMPC you are welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Pure Genius.
Ok this may be true but what your leaving out is that Chaplin arranged a soundtrack for modern times to go along with the film but yes the entire film other then what I just said is silent.
He did that for many of his movies as far back as The Gold Rush via live orchestras during the movie palace era.
These new biographies of Old Hollywood icons are so out of tune with their subjects it's weird.
Awesome Stuff👍
This is the end speech of the great dicataor I’ve watched both modern times and city lights and other Chaplin films.
great video well done .. even if you're historical knowledge is a tad wanting

On a par with your use of apostrophes?

Really dude? Rick and Morty?
Disrespectful af.
This is a new take. Disrespectful in which direction?
