- Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977).
- Chaplin was one of the most creative personalities in the silent film era. ...
- With Karno he visited the US in 1913 and here met Mack Sennett who let Chaplin join his Keystone studio. ...
- Although "talkies" (movies with sound) became the dominant mode of moviemaking soon after they were introduced in 1927, Chaplin resisted making a talkie all through the 1930s. It is a tribute to Chaplin's versatility that he also has one film credit for choreography for the 1952 film Limelight, and one credit as a singer for the title music of the 1928 film The Circus. ...
- Chaplin played a fascist dictator, clearly modeled on Hitler (also with a certain physical likeness), and at the same time a Jewish barber cruelly persecuted by the nazis. ...
- Although Chaplin had his major successes in the United States, he refused to accept U. ... During the era of McCarthyism, Chaplin was accused of "unamerican activities", and his lifelong enemy J. ... In 1952 in fact, Chaplin left the United States for a trip to England; Hoover learned about it and negotiated with the INS that his reentry permit would not be honored. Chaplin decided then to stay in Europe and made his home in Switzerland with his second wife, Oona O'Neill (he had previously been married to Hollywood star, Paulette Goddard). ... Charlie Chaplin never won an Oscar in the normal way. ... Because of Chaplin's difficulties with McCarthyism the film did not open in Los Angeles when it was first produced. ...
- Chaplin did, however, win the honorary award twice. ... When it became apparent that Chaplin, who had been nominated for Best Actor and Best Comedy Direction, would fail to win either award for his movie The Circus, the Academy decided to give him a special award "for versatility and genius in acting, writing, directing and producing The Circus". ... Chaplin's second honorary award came 44 years later in 1972 and was "For the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century". ... Chaplin was also nominated without success for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay for The Great Dictator (1940), and again for Best Original Screenplay for Monsieur Verdoux (1947). ...

- Charlie Chaplin .
- Charlie Chaplin nacque a Londra nel 1889, "quattro giorni prima di Hitler", figlio di due artisti di varietà. ... Prima di morire per un attacco di "delirium tremens", il padre ebbe il tempo di far esordire Charlie in teatro; il bambino crebbe così nell'ambiente e si conquistò un buon prestigio come attore bambino. ... Durante quei sei anni Chaplin apprese decine di numeri, comici, acrobatici e musicali, a fianco di altri giovani mimi e cantanti inglesi (fra cui Stan Laurel), e girò il mondo, passando dalle "Folies bergeres" parigine e approdando a New York nel 1910. ... Chaplin si trovò dapprima a disagio nel clima frenetico della Keystone, ma man mano che interpretava i cortometraggi di Sennett aggiustava anche il suo personaggio, "Chas", fino a coniare il tramp definitivo, "Charlie". ...
- Chaplin si identifica subito come un grande artista del cinema, un romantico donnaiolo (si lega alla collega Edna Purviance) e star milionaria. ... L'ascesa di Chaplin si accompagna a una progressiva indipendenza, culminata con la fondazione della United Artists (insieme con Griffith, Pickford e Fairbanks) che gli consente di lavorare con più calma ai suoi progetti. ...
- Passato ormai al lungometraggio e ridotto il ritmo di lavoro per curare più maggiormente i suoi capolavori, Chaplin era ormai sdoppiato nella celebrità cinematografica, universalmente osannata, e nella celebrità mondana, circondata di sdegno e di scandali. ...
- Una condanna per amoralità, il nuovo matrimonio con un'altra sedicenne, la figlia del drammaturgo O'Neill, la partecipazione ai funerali dello scrittore comunista Dreiser nel '45 e l'accusa di apologia di reato per Monsieur Verdoux, alimentarono la campagna denigratoria nei suoi confronti; inquisito dalla Commissione per le attività anti-americane, accusato di filo-comunismo, perseguitato dal fisco, nel 1952 Chaplin scappa in Gran Bretagna e nel 1962 si rifugia in un tranquillo angolo della Svizzera. Mentre l'America scaglia i suoi anatemi contro il traditore (che peraltro aveva sempre rifiutato la cittadinanza) con un'isteria da amante (più che nazione) tradita, Chaplin confeziona le sue ultime opere, sempre più distanziate nel tempo. ...
- Dopo vent'anni, nel 1972, Chaplin venne accolto da un'America rossa di vergogna; New York gli tributò la più grande ovazione della sua carriera. ...
- Chaplin fu addirittura il primo artista occidentale commemorato dalla Cina comunista, e a ricevere eguali testimonianze di stima dai due blocchi europei. ...
- Charlie, l'omino coi baffetti dallo sguardo tenero e ironico, la maschera col costume da vagabondo (giacchetta stretta, pantaloni larghi, scarpe lunghe), bombetta e bastoncino di bambù, è il protagonista di un lungo poema durato quasi trent'anni, dalle prime Keystone alla seconda guerra mondiale. ...
- La sensibilità e l'amore con cui Chaplin ha saputo portare sullo schermo le piccole gioie e i grandi dolori dei poveri sono stati un messaggio di speranza in una delle epoche più buie e tormentate della storia dell'umanità. ...
- Fino all'ultimo Chaplin fu convinto che la vita e meravigliosa, e questa è proprio l'unica certezza di Charlie; l'ottimismo e la solidarietà che mancano nella società capitalista si trovano in gran copia nell'animo di Charlie, nonostante le sue storie finiscano sempre male, nonostante egli sappia benissimo che non può esservi felicità in questo mondo. ... Non rispetta la logica della realtà, la sua realtà è un sogno di bambino; Charlie dà più importanza all'immaginazione che ai fatti; con l'invenzione continua riesce ad affrontare le circostanze, man mano che queste cambiano e rischiano di travolgerlo; così la società capitalista (fondata sul denaro) non riesce mai a disintegrare questo piccolo eretico; e lui non la prende neppure in considerazione, non la combatte, si limita a scansare i suoi colpi e a volte la soccorre addirittura (la sua bontà è imparziale, e si estende anche ai ricchi). ...

- In the not so distant past, watching Charlie Chaplin's silent comedies could frequently be a test of devotion. ...
- Thanks to laserdisc, CBS Fox Video brought many of Chaplin's comedies to home video in the early '90s in superb transfers, culled from the best surviving sources. And now, in cooperation with Image Entertainment, CBS Fox Video has released Chaplin's greatest feature films on DVD--everything from The Kid (1921) to A King in New York in (1956). In addition, CBS Fox and Image have released a DVD collection of Chaplin's First National shorts (called A First National Collection). ...
- Together with Kino On Video's previous VHS and DVD release of The Chaplin Mutuals and Chaplin's Essanay Comedies, virtually all of Chaplin's movies are available in digitally re-mastered editions. (Read our reviews of Kino's The Chaplin Mutuals and Chaplin's Essanay Comedies. ) Only a comprehensive collection of Chaplin's Keystone comedies is missing. ...
- Some of this material, such as the daily production reports, is of questionable value to the casual fan; however, for Chaplin scholars, the DVDs contain a treasure trove of information. ...
- After Chaplin's contract with Mutual expired in 1917, he signed an agreement with the First National Exhibitors Circuit for $1,000,000. This contract allowed Chaplin to avoid dealing with the major studios. ... Chaplin's desire to work undisturbed by studio interference led him to First National. ...
- While his contract called for a dozen two-reelers within a year, Chaplin never turned out that many comedies. ... However, during this time, Chaplin began to experiment with longer formats and more ambitious material. While A Day's Pleasure (1919), The Idle Class (1921), and Pay Day (1922) were indeed two-reelers, Chaplin also created a pair of three-reelers, A Dog's Life (1918) and Sunnyside (1919); two four-reelers, Shoulder Arms (1918) and The Pilgrim (1923); and a six-reeler, The Kid (1921). ...
- Whereas Chaplin's previous films were loosely constructed around their gags, he now began to see an underlying structure. ... As a result, Chaplin's First National films, in general, are quite different from his previous work. ...

- Chaplin, Charlie (1889 - 1977).
- Born in the Kennington district of London in 1889, Charlie Chaplin was raised in poverty by an alcoholic actor father and a singer mother who was in and out of asylums. Chaplin began his career in show business as a singer at the age of 5, and in 1906 he worked as a pantomime in several show troops traveling throughout Europe and America. In 1913, during a tour in the American music halls, the young Chaplin was hired as an actor by the Keystone film production company. ...
- Charlie Chaplin's acting talent and genius for comic miming soon brought him to stardom. ...
- But Chaplin's success did not please everyone. ...
- In 1952, Chaplin and his family went to London to promote his new film, Limelight. The anti-Communist commission headed by Senator Joseph McCarthy jumped at the opportunity to cancel Chaplin's visa and forbade him from returning to American soil. Protest as he might, the actor's visa was not reissued and the Chaplin family began their search for a land of asylum. ...
- The Chaplin family chose Switzerland and settled into Lausanne's Beau-Rivage hotel in 1953. ...
- The Chaplin family made friends in the area, particularly Victoria Eugenie, the Queen of Spain in exile. From his Corsier residence, Charlie Chaplin sometimes traveled to London or Paris. ... His last child, Christopher, was born when Charlie Chaplin was 73 years old. ...
- It was at his Corsier residence that Chaplin ended his autobiography with these words: I sometimes sit out on our terrace at sunset and look out over a vast green lawn to the lake in the distance, and beyond the lake to the reassuring mountains, and in this mood think of nothing but enjoy their magnificent serenity. Charlie Chaplin passed away in Vevey, and now rests with his wife in the Corsier sur Vevey cemetery. ...

- The many-sided character of Charlie Chaplin.
- "CHARLIE CHAPLIN," At the Museum of Fine Arts, July 30 through August 9.
- There's little doubt that of all the icons created for the screen, Charlie Chaplin's Tramp is the most famous, and the one that been written about in the warmest and most affectionate terms. ...
- The Tramp stars in six of the 10 features and all seven of the shorts included in the MFA's Chaplin retrospective, which begins this weekend -- the first major Chaplin series in the Boston area in many years. As for the remaining four, Chaplin doesn't appear at all in A Woman of Paris (August 2 at 1:30 p. ...
- " But by Modern Times, the shape of the age being what it is, Chaplin can no longer portray the Tramp as a down-at-heels gentleman ambling resolutely, resilient if not always cheerful, down the hurdle-beset highways of the world. For the first time Chaplin employs him to dramatize the struggle of a human cog in an inhumane labor machine -- and by 1940 and The Great Dictator, that strategy too is obsolete, and so is the Tramp. ... "The fact is," Warshow reasons, "that the movie's theme was almost the only possible one for Chaplin; it was wrong only for the Tramp. ...
- That is, I'd say, because -- except in Modern Times, in which Chaplin adjusted the vision of René Clair's great 1931 social satire A nous la liberté to fit his own creation -- the Tramp really is redolent of the 19th century. ... Even that technology is something that Chaplin, for all his inventiveness as a performer, can hardly be said to have devoted himself to with the fervor of his contemporaries Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. Movies existed for Chaplin mostly as a means of framing the Tramp, perhaps the most original and enchanting idea ever to occur to what was essentially a music-hall mind. ...
- What you can see in many of the narratives is a sensibility drawn from the popular art forms of the Victorian age, the time and place into which Chaplin was born. ... That 19th-century sentimentality is a constant in Chaplin's work. ... ) But it's the legacy of the world Chaplin emerged from. ...
- Chaplin's passage into the modern age was a long and obstinate one. ...
- It's easy to see both Chaplin's refusal to stop making silent movies and his refusal to shut up once he began to talk on screen as extensions of a quite remarkable ego that is, to my mind, his most insufferable characteristic. ... And Limelight, where Chaplin, as the faded clown Calvero, upstages the young ballerina whose life he's saved by dying off stage as she dances her heart out to a packed crowd, is certainly the most infuriating of his movies, though A King in New York is even worse -- it's grotesquely, incomprehensibly bad -- and the Jewish-ghetto scenes in The Great Dictator can make you scream with impatience. ...
120. CITY LIGHTS
- www.suntimes.com
- If only one of Charles Chaplin's films could be preserved, ``City Lights'' (1931) would come the closest to representing all the different notes of his genius. ...
- When he made it, three years into the era of sound, Chaplin must have known that ``City Lights'' might be his last silent film; he considered making a talkie, but decided against it, and although the film has a full musical score (composed by Chaplin) and sound effects, it has no speech. Audiences at the time would have appreciated his opening in-joke; the film begins with political speeches, but what emerges from the mouths of the speakers are unintelligible squawks--Chaplin's dig at dialogue. When he made ``Modern Times'' five years later, Chaplin allowed speech onto the soundtrack, but once again the Tramp remained silent except for some gibberish. ...
- Chaplin and the other silent filmmakers knew no national boundaries. ... I witnessed the universality of Chaplin's art in one of my most treasured experiences as a moviegoer, in 1972, in Venice, where all of Chaplin's films were shown at the film festival. ...
- Charlie Chaplin walked forward, and bowed. ...
- The movie contains some of Chaplin's great comic sequences, including the famous prize fight in which the Tramp uses his nimble footwork to always keep the referee between himself and his opponent. ... ) There's the sequence where he tries to save the millionaire from drowning, and ends up with the rock tied to his own neck; the scene where he swallows a whistle and gathers a following of dogs; the scene where the millionaire and the Tramp encounter burglars; the scene in the nightclub where Charlie sees Apache dancers and defends the woman dancer against her partner. ...
- Chaplin was a master of the small touch, the delayed reaction. ...
- Chaplin and Keaton are the giants of silent comedy, and in recent years the pendulum of fashion has swung between them. Chaplin ruled supreme for years, but by the 1960s he looked dated and sentimental to some viewers, and Keaton seemed fresher and more contemporary. In the polls taken every 10 years by Sight & Sound, the British film magazine, Chaplin placed high in 1952 and was gone by 1962; Keaton placed high in 1972 and 1982, and Chaplin replaced him again in 1992. ...
- Keaton plays a different character every time; Chaplin usually plays a version of the Tramp. Keaton's characters desire acceptance, recognition, romance and stature in the real world, and try to adapt to conditions; Chaplin's characters are perpetual outsiders who rigidly repeat the same strategies and reactions (often the gags come from how inappropriately the Tramp behaves). Keaton's movements are smooth and effortless; Chaplin's odd little lopsided gait looks almost arthritic. They appeared together only once, in Chaplin's ``Limelight'' (1952). Keaton steals the scene--but, as Kerr observes, Chaplin, who could have re-edited it to give himself the upper hand, was content to let Keaton prevail. ...
