charlie chaplin in 'the rink'

[MrHydriotaphia]

Chaplin unlike most artists today was multi-talented and was able to acquire new skills, the whole film 'The Rink' from 1917 and 20+ minutes is well worth watching.

[MaetelUsagi]

why dont they make movies this funny anymore?....

[SerenaBlackCat]

For someone who falls on his arse so much, he sure knows how to skate!

[westfield90]

Genius at work

[coomason5]

[bethanydesu]

I just don't see how the hell he's able to skate like that. That's insane! GREAT actor and inspiration to us all. He makes me laugh every time :)

[utubesanjay]

He the Greatest multi-talented person of all times. Hats off to Charles Chaplin.

[bokhoromet]

ahahaha ahahaha oh man he was and is the best!

[TheLittleFelloow]

hihi, i just noticed a chaplin poster in the basement of the house belonging to the family who's playing in the tv-serie "Full House" :3

[iwonttellyouhaha]

erm this is my first time watching charlie chaplin so is it just so naturally that all his movements are so smooth and swift here or is it the video quality....?

[foxpawz]

chaplin was a master at everything. he had temendous strenght and control over his movements. sometimes they would speed up or slow down film for comic effect but this looks like its real time.

[salashaska223]

Lord Chaplin is actually qutie good looking

[classicalgirl01]

I know!i just realised that

[CCNuck]

@salashaska223 I know, isn't it funny? You see a picture of him without the little moustache and you go, "Woah, what a handsome guy".

[SerenaBlackCat]

@CCNuck Even with the mustache I think he's adorable...and I'm not big into mustaches!

[BloodySharpie]

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this thought, but I think Hugh Laurie from "House" looks a lot like Charlie Chaplin. >.>

[peppermintpattyg]

Does anyone remember the name of the Chaplin movie with "the blind girl"? I want to find it to watch here. Anyway--he composed the lilting background music to it.

[lechaise]

Yep it's "City Lights".

[hobbitbuddy]

Chaplin was brilliant at everything he did, including roller skating. And he was so graceful, too!

[sillyrnu007]

He's so much more coordinated at skating than I am. If only those stupid other people weren't getting in the way!

[ndinosan]

Era anche un compositore con un gusto geniale...

[333vasco]

yap! old school circus guy. how many times did they repeat the scene untill he got the take he wanted?

[leery87]

"ma faceva l'ATTORE e il regista, ed era piuttosto un genio.."concordo pienamente...

[Rosiercentral]

It never gets old.

[colpadelrock]

The Big men is dead just in 1917 ..a car crash at L.a. ..he was Schotish

[Elolinona]

Wow, he's good at skating :)

[ColibriMuse]

Oh my, yes he is good at skating!

He's seems to be really multi-talented at just about anything physical.

[freedom232x]

and artistic...he was a superb violinists too.

[singingweasel]

Yes, and composer. He wrote 'Smile' among other beautiful things. Wow, didn't know he was a skater too! Thanks for posting.

[nautilu]

He skates so well!!! In Modern Times, it's so funny that one scene where he skates blindfolded, little knowing that he was so close to the edge of a drop.

[leery87]

bhe bravo pattinanto...nn fa nulla di ke...cmq video carino...anke fin troppo facile...cmq qlk sa da ke film è tratto?

[shortyblackwell]

say what?

[Mitofied]

con la differenza che lui non faceva pattinaggio, ma faceva l'ATTORE e il regista, ed era piuttosto un genio..

[FlynBnut44]

Great Video. All it needs is WURLITZER silent movie Theatre style audio...

[DEMONIAS]

[InimicalxChimera]
