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 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. Through laughter or even tears (for some serious films), Chaplin was a benefactor. This ba ***** .... JE Hoover took personal revenge on it because he hated him and stole everything from this great man, the greatest actor of the 20th century. To come back to the film, I watch it again from time to time with great pleasure.
