The biography of Charlie Chaplin, filmmaker extraordinaire. From his formative years in England to his highest successes in America, Chaplin's life, work, and loves are followed. While his screen characters were extremely hilarious, the man behind "The Little Tramp" was constantly haunted by a sense of loss.Written by

Quotes
[first lines]
George Hayden:
Ha ha ha ha ha. Come on Charlie stop messing about, we really have to get down to it now. I just hope our friendship survives the day, that's all.
Charlie Chaplin:
Ha George, don't be so melodramatic.

Charlie Chaplin:

I think this movie is good reference to learning the history of film- you can see many movie stars at the time- such as Mary Pickford and Fairbanks, and I think that it is a well made movie because it did a great job in making it look really like Chaplin's life, and didn't miss out on the many historical events. It also interested me because you can see the events that happened at the time at Chaplin's perspective. The actors also did an outstanding job, especially Robert Downy Jr. who played the role of Charlie Chaplin. I think this really added up and made me be immersed in the movie all the way long! I can say this is a great movie to watch, and I recommend it, a Chaplin fan or not- you will get to love this movie.
