Chaplin's art as a performer and director have indeed passed the toughest test of all; the test of Time. Now we have the added perspective of decades; almost a Century of filmmaking, to compare the characterisation of the "Little Tramp" and viewed under that enormous "microscope" how remarkably well that character stands up. The test of any truly great Art; it maintains it's relevance over time. Very few films can lay claim to that. A further example is Fritz Lang's "Metropolis", released with a Georgio Moroder soundtrack in the 1980's; the Soundtrack was dated almost as soon as the film was released, but the film never will be.
