Movies I watched in May 2019 (24 movies items)" Date: 5/12/2019 Viewed: Amazon Prime First Viewing Note: Robert Downey Jr. is fantastic as Chaplin and made me think that it was really him as Charlie Chaplin. While the movie is not perfect, it was still a very enjoyable movie with a good cast of characters. I'm glad that the movie didn't cut out the stuff with Chaplin's penchant for young (usually underage) girls and some of the things regarding his mother because those are important to Chaplin's history. The movie is worth checking out if "

A tremendous, elegantly-mounted biopic
“Directed by the late Richard Attenborough (Gandhi, A Bridge Too Far), 1992's Chaplin traces the life and career of Charles Chaplin, from his glum childhood all the way through to his final years in the 1970s. 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 critic David Robinson. On top of recounting the life of its titular subject, Chaplin also delves into Hollywood's early days, the politics of filmmaking, and the scandals that defined many careers. The resultant movie is not especially cohesive given the nature of its narrative structure and the breadth of the material in question, but the production has far more strengths than weaknesses.
