With a screenplay credited to William Boyd, Bryan Forbes and William Goldman, the film is based on two literary sources: Chaplin’s own autobiography, and "Chaplin: His Life and Art" by film... read more

When I saw this film for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised by the remarkable interpretation of Robert Downey Jr. He fits perfectly in the skin of Chaplin as actor but also the man. For once for a long time an actor largely deserved his Oscar. As for the anecdote of the Oscar to the real Chaplin "for the whole of his career", I admit that in his place, I would have refused it (but I am not... read more

Chaplin is a film that is a lot like biography films because they are emotional films. It is a film about a man who became a legend in his days. This film was absolutely fantastic. It was really inspiring this film was because there were a lot of emotional years for Chaplin especially during WWII and also because of his personal life with women too. This film made me feel good because Charlie Chap... read more

The biography of Charlie Chaplin, filmmaker extraordinaire. From his formitive years in England to his highest successes in America, Charlie'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.

" Based on the books "Chaplin His Life and Aer” and “My Autobiography” by Charlie Chaplin, the film centres around the life and career, of Charlie Chaplin one of the greatest comedians of all time, not just high points and the low points. The film received mixed reviews; Downey's titular performance, however, garnered critical acclaim and won him the BAFTA Award for Best Actor along with nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Pict"

" Paramount+- 2hrs. 23min. First Viewing If you're curious about Charlie Chaplin the artist, Chaplin is not the movie for you. Neither is it if you want to know about Chaplin the man, either. Chaplin's got all the big name events and moments of the legend's life, his loves and losses, but can't reconcile them with any cohesive vision of how they impacted him; i.e. what drove Chaplin? The film hints at a constant feeling of loneliness, an internal void that only his work could fill, but doesn't ma"

As for the anecdote of the Oscar to the real Chaplin "for the whole of his career", I admit that in his place, I would have refused it (but I am not him ...), because we does not expel a genius who, through his work and his films, helped poor people to forget a little about their misfortunes during the great depression.
