wait. did I hear FALSE pregnancy? I thought Mildred DID gave birth, just that the baby died with only three days of life. BUT can anyone please explain, I'm still quite confused.
in essence hes the first Elvis..unlike how 'rockstars' live it out today we have this stereotypical image that their whole day is on stage, but in most cases once the stage-lights go off their somber memories kick in & its when they start getin visited by their demons..a childhood in this case..going to any great length to suppress that..may it even amount to molesting children as Michael Jackson did or did not..a person who speaks as tho fame was forced onto them but there were many ways out.
@keinwegzuruck You got to know that the movie is made out of his Autobiography, and Chaplin was very depressed by nature, he saw himself as a boring never smiling man, (People who knew him said different) But if i should explain myself it might be deferent than my friends would i guess :) Even if he had a motto saying "A day without a laugh, is a day wasted" he didn't lived that way.
Yep, Sam (Played by Depp) in Benny & Joon was a mixed up thing between Charlie and Buster Keaton, some of his gags is ripoff from these two artists. But Benny & Joon is a really wonderful movie aswell. :)
half the same as everyone else. I was just saying that we do need discipline. I've been in other countries and when you go around bashing the locals, you're in deep shit. Not in America. It's like every vice is perfectly fine here. It's like we've lost our pride and faith in our country and the vast majority just take the freedoms for granted.
"every vice is perfectly fine here" ~ including irreverence to someone's country, apparently. Every nation has it's flaws but it seems only America gets to be a potshot.
Yeah, it's the Table Ballet that chaplin made in "The Gold Rush" in 1926. Johnny Depp did it in Benny & Joon yep, love that role he plays in that movie, a mixed up thing between Buster Keaton and charlie chaplin =)
Starting in 5:04, what do you call that transition to the next scene when the scene flips around like that??? I'm typing a script and I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me...
No idea what you're talking about, about the missing parts, I posted the whole movie and the total playtime fit with the playtime "Chaplin" got....so... Cant help you.
Geraldine Chaplin, Charlies real life daughter (who plays Charlies mother in the movie) said when Robert came into the light as Charlie Chaplin, she was taken back from when her father was alive. She said it was haunting because it really did look like her father had come back to life.
The child star in THE KID was played by child actor Jackie Coogan. He would later clame to fame as Uncle Fester from the 1960s Addams Family tv show.
If you watch THE KiD, it really is a sad sad movie. Chaplin takes personal experiences from his own life and put them in the film. Its also about how an orphaned kid is taken away from the Tramp to the work-house and the Tramp fights desperately get him. :(
Charlie's soon to be ex-wife Mildred Harris(seen here)was trying to claim the film as an asset in their divorce settlement. She claimed that the film belonged to her. At the time, she was working at MGM and the word was that she was stealing the film for Louis B. Mayer, who hated Chaplin. If I remember correctly!
Robert Downey Jr. finally made me look ate him as a good actor.. not fan until now

It's kind of weird seeing David Duchovny before he was on "X-Files", in just a minor role with...well no lines, so far.
I also love the little nod to "City Lights" with the music and silent film aspects, starting in at about 5:00. Excellent. :)
