Charles was a genius. Hitler may have seen it...As Goebels had a copy that have been lend out twice and Hynkel just love movies..Beside his feud with Hoover..nobody in America wanted an film on Hitler,as they wanted to stay ( at first ) out of the beginning war .(Isol.)
-And I fully agree..If it is politic to take back the word" dated" so let do it...As he is ( the man ) universal and timeless.

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.

Dated = enclose in your own time,trapped & entrapped by the
spirit of the mode ...yes yet, genius are not,they chef dī oeuvres, touche us for ever are they are speaking to fundamentales needs of ours.
And yet it can be spoiled by our own brain..curious that you speak of Metropolis...I have NO more fun for this film since I saw
this picture with the invasive music of M.( if it could only have been M,with peter Lorre...) since then, I can not dissociate any more...it is in my head like an alien...
