Charlie Chaplin’s Uncontrollable Libido Cost Him EVERYTHING
I don’t have balls but I watched it anyway. Well, I read the comments while the video was playing. Something about how Chaplin was your average director/actor/producer type. Was too busy trying to decide what’s the funniest comment. Must be a tie between the Chaplain people and the person who sees it fit to remind us all of the fact that Charlie wasn’t American. Because had he been, he’d totally not liked teenagers.
Maybe some of the comments are sarcasm. Can’t tell the difference. Mind you, I rolled my eyes at the usual “I never liked him” stuff until I remembered that it’s exactly what I just the other day found myself thinking. Never got what’s supposed to be funny about anything Bill Murray’s done that I’ve seen. Still, nothing to do with any accusations directed at him. Similarly, nobody is a better person for preferring, say, Keaton’s or Lloyd’s work to Chaplin’s, regardless what their reasons are. Though I must confess that I’m always a bit weirded out by those who bring up the stunts. How is it flattering to a comedian if the funniest thing about them/their movies is that they did their stunts themselves?

Charlie Chaplin and Walt Disney
Did you know? Charlie Chaplin was one of Walt Disney’s favorite actors. In his early years as an animator, he would often sneak in references to Chaplin’s movies in his 1930s animated shorts.

I love his portraits and use of shadows; the one of Charlie Chaplin (top right) taken in 1920 appeared on the inside cover of first edition of Vanity Fair in January 1921.

A take on his famous Karno sketch “A Night in an English Music Hall” (as it was known in America - “Mummingbirds” elsewhere). This was the sketch, in 1911, that first got him noticed by Mack Sennett.
