Charles Chaplin

One really has to remember that he was one of the very best among the best. Of course they are some times silents, and in freaky black and white, and they they don´t have bloody digitalsceneries and anti climax, worse they are in mono, ant to top that! They belong to daddy.
But boy, what a power, HE could let the faces speaks on screen without a word in the magnitude of Murnau & Eisenstein & Bergman & Hitch & Orson & Fellini and the rest...And that IS the greatest achievement possible in films! ...Remember the City Lights, when the girl recognise him after her eyes operation?
Or him playing with the whole world in " Le Grand Dictateur " ..Eating his shoe...in the Gold rush....the quasi ballet scene in " Modern Times " and his genial " ring scene " and the " Kid "..and.....
The only mistakes he ever made was to be rich.....To be free and telling like he thought it may have been.
He has all my respects for ever.
