His resiliency, his tradgedy, most of all his artistry working when his contemporiws were just memories in biographies and magazine articles
Hi Chris, just want to remind you to tweet the message in order to qualify. Thanks 🙂
I love the simplicity of his characters and the sweetness he could display without words
The way he made political statements through his brilliant comedy. He was a pioneer in the field, and there probably would be no Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert without Charlie Chaplin.
I love his honesty. He was never afraid to make a statement that he felt needed to be heard.
I enjoy the physicality of his characters onscreen. When you see him skate, or dance, or in a fight sequence it’s just amazing what he could do with his body. Thanks again.
I love the Tramp’s tenacity and Chaplin’s creativity.
I just love how he put his all into every project he worked on. He was so involved in every aspect of it.
The Tramp for his physicality yet grace and his perseverance.
That one of his favorite places to visit was the Montecito Inn in Santa Barbara, CA .
Oh I never knew that! 🙂
I like how funny he was and he didn’t have to even talk – I wish some comedians were like that nowadays.
How he expressed his joy of life with every movement, every gesture.
I love watching his movies.. deep emotions in all
His fearlessness, his creativity, his humor, his athleticism, his mustache…honestly I could probably list a million things about him. Most of all, though, I love that he was the one that got me into silent movies. Without him, I never would have watched a single one.
I watch Chaplin films with my dad who, as a youngster, thought Chaplin was the best thing since the automobile. My pop, as we call him–at 86, still bowls over with the laughter of a child at the antics of Chaplin’s comedic genius!
My dad introduced me to Charlie Chaplin when I was a kid too! Via The Gold Rush… Still love that movie to this day 🙂
His brilliance, his passion….and his heart.
Timeless comedy. Genius innovator.
I love how Chaplin’s Little Tramp embodies the everyman, and his struggle to triumph in a world that’s frequently cruel and unjust.
the way he did sight gags and falls…. awesome!
When I saw the Broadway musical based on the life of Charlie Chaplin ( http://wp.me/p4kzW6-j2 ) I was reminded of his stubborn insistence on maintaining his artistic vision at all costs.
oh I wish I would have seen it!
Hi genius – and by that I mean the fact he can – by way of one work – touch deeply upon the entire range of emotions. He makes us cry from laughter and by heartbreak. Astounding to even consider!
