Early life [ edit ]
Charles Spencer Chaplin was born on 16 April 1889 in East Street , Walworth , London , England . Her parents were both entertaining in the music hall tradition; His father was a singer and actor and his mother, a singer and actress. Charlie had separated before being three years old. He learned to sing with his parents 1891 calculated according to his mother, actress Hannah Hill , Charlie and his older half-brother Sydney lived on Barlow Street, Walworth with. In childhood, Charlie with his mother , Kennington Road of LambethThere are various addresses in and around, including 3 Ponal Terrace, Chester Street and 39 Methley Street. His grandmother was a semi- financier ; she was very proud of the fact, [1] but she also described her as a "skeleton of the family cupboard." [2] Chaplin's father, Charles Chaplin Sr., was a drunkard and had little contact with his son, although Chaplin and his half brother had been living in 287 Kennington Road with his father and his concubine Louise for some time A plaque is now the memory of this fact. His half-brother lived there when his mentally ill mother was Kane Hill in CoulsdonLived in the hospital. Chaplin's father's concubine had sent him to Archbishop Temple Boys' School. Due to drinking alcohol, his father died in 1901, when Charlie was twelve years old. According to the calculation of 1901, Charles lived in 94 Furnel Road, Lambeth , with the eight eight Lancashire boys , operated by John William Jackson (17 years old son of one of the founders) .
The bad condition of a larynx ended the singing career of Chaplin's mother. Hannah's first crisis came in 1894 when she was performing in a theater, The Canteen , in Aldershot . In that theater, mainly rebels and soldiers used to come often. Hanna was badly injured by the audience fanned by the audience, and she was sent out of the platform by loud noise. Behind the stage, she cried and argued with her manager. In the meantime, five-year-old Chaplin went on stage alone, and a famous tune of that time, "Jack Jones", cows.
After recruiting Chaplin's mother (who was known as Lily Harley in the stage) again at Ken Hill Hospital, her son was left in Lambeth's workshop in south London , after several weeks HanwellIn the Central London District School for Disintegration The young Chaplin brothers made a close relationship to survive. He was attracted to the music hall at a very young age and both proved to be quite a natural platform genius. The desperate poverty of Chaplin's early years had a great impact on his character. In later years, the subject of his films again shows the lack of childhood in his childhood in Lambeth. Chaplin's mother died in Hollywood in 1928, seven years after her sons brought them to the US. She had a step brother by Charlie and Sidney's mother who discovered him some years later. That boy, Wheeler Dryden , was raised by his father abroad, but later he joined with the rest of his family and worked with Chaplin To the Hollywood studio was gone.
America [ edit ]
From 1910 to 1912, Chaplin first visited America with the Fred Kerno Congregation . Carno is his sister-in-law brother at the Independent Orr of Falows (IOOF). After five months in England, he returned to the US on October 2, 1912 with the Karno troupe for the second tour. The Arnold Company was Arthur Stanley Jefferson, who later became known as Stan Laurel . Chaplin and Laurel shared a room in the boarding house. Stan Laurel returned to England but Chaplin stayed in the United States. At the end of 1913, Chaplin's performance was seen with the Carnow troupe, by Mack Sennett , Mabel Normandy , Minta Dorfie, and Fatty Arbuckle . Senate Ford SterlingAs a replacement, he gave him a job in his studio Keystone Film Company . <ref> Chaplin, Charles (1964). My Autobiography . Penguin P. 137-139 ISBN 0-141-01147-5 .Unfortunately, Chaplin had quite a initial difficulty in adjusting the demand for film acting and had a great impact on his performance. After Chaplin's first film appearance, making a living film was made, Senate felt that he made a very big mistake. [3] Most people believe that Normand had celebrated him for giving Chaplin another chance. [4]
Chomplin was handed to Normand, who had directed and wrote some of his first films. [5] Chaplin did not like being directed by a woman and both often disagreed. [5] In the end, both of them dispel their differences and have remained friends for a long time after leaving Chaplin's Keystone.
Mack Sennett was not immediately angry at Chaplin, and Chaplin believed that Senate fired him after his disagreement with Normand. [5] However, Chaplin's films were successful soon and became one of Keystone's biggest stars [5] [6]
Leading film artist [ edit ]
Chaplin's first film was made for Mac Sennett 's Keystone Studios , where he developed his avant-garde character and quickly learned the skill and art of film making. Jenna first saw the tramp when the 24-year-old Chaplin was the second to be released The film appeared in Kid Auto Races at Venice (February 7, 1914).
However, he created his troupe for a movie, Mabel's Strange Predictment , which was supposed to be released a few days earlier, but was later released (9 February 1914). Mack Sennett requested that Chaplin "stay in a comedy make-up ". [7] Chaplin remembered in his autobiography [8]
"I did not know how to do makeup. I did not like my character as a press reporter [in Making a Living ]. But going towards the wardrobe, I thought that I would like to wear baggy pants, big shoes, a stick and a I would wear a derby cap. I wanted everything contradictory: pants baggy, coat tight, cap small and big shoes. I was in dilemma that I looked big or small, but remembered Senet, he wanted an elderly I used to put a small face, which I felt would show me big, without hiding my expression. I did not know the role, but when I got ready, I felt that person in those clothes and make-up. And till he reached the stage in the stage, he was born.
Fatty Arbuckle contributed to his father-in-law's derby and his pants (in generous proportions). Chester Conklin short cutaway tailcoat and Ford Sterling 14th Provided shoes, which were so large, that Chaplin had to wear them on the wrong feet to wear them and walk. They made a whistle from Mac Sven 's crepe hair. Only the bamboo stick was their own. [7] Chaplin's inferiority role immediately began to gain immense popularity among cinema audiences.
In Chaplin's early Keystone , the standard of Max Sennett's excessive body comedy and exaggerated gestures was used. Chaplin's pantomime was subtle and could be suitable for romantic and domestic replicas instead of normal Keystone hatch and crowd scene. The visual restrictions were pure Keystone, but; In the inferior role, there was an aggressive attack on the enemy with bricks and bricks. Movie viewers liked this new cheerful villain comedian, though critics warned that their acts are on the border of obscenity. Chaplin was soon assigned the direction and editing of his films. In his first year in films he made 34 shorts for Senate, as well as the historical comedy feature " Tillis Punchard Romance ".
Chaplin's main frog was "The Tramp" ( "Charlotte" in France and French-speaking world , Italy , Spain , Andorra , Portugal , Greece , Romania and Turkey , "Carlitos" in Brazil and Argentina and "Tramp" in Germany Is known). "The Tramp" is a strollerwith respect to sophisticated manners, clothes and a gentleman . This character wears a tight coat, big trousers and shoes and a derby ; A bamboo stick; And a unique toothbrush mustacheAre. The avant-garde character was featured in the first movie trailer which was to be shown in an American film theater, a slide promotion developed by Nils Grilland , an advertising manager in the Marcus Loew theater series, and in 1914 at the Seventh Avenue Theater in Loew were shown. [9] In 1915, Chaplin signed a more favorable contract with Essen Studios and further developed his cinematic skills, adding a new level of depth and compassion to the Keystone style Tamasha. The majority of Essan films were more ambitious, Had a double run of humor. Chaplin also made his own share company, which included Bholi Edna Parvians and comedians Villain Leo White and Bud Jamisan.
[[Image: Charlie Chaplin-waterville.jpg IMAGE_OPTIONSBronze statue at like immigrant groups reached America in waves, silent films also crossed all barriers of language and talked to every level of the American Tower of Babel , because they The form was silent. Chaplin was emerging as the supreme exponent of silent films by himself, a migrant from London. Chaplin's abusers enacted the difficulties and insults of the immigrant neglected , fought continuously under the American heap, yet he conquered the unforeseen calamity and thus remained in touch with his audience. Chaplin's films were also fun-destructive. Employees activated to laugh at those who are afraid of immigrants [10]
In 1916, the Mutual Film Corporation paid Chaplin US $ 670,000 to make two dozen reel comedies. He was given complete artistic control and produced twelve films in eighteen months, which got the category of the most influential comedy films in the cinema. Practically every Mutual Comedy is an excellent: EZ Street , One AM , The Pawnshop and The Adventure are best known. Edna Parvians' heroine remained and Chaplin included Eric Campbell , Henry Bergman and Albert Austin in his stock company ; Campbell A Gilbert and SullivanThe legend provided fantastic villains, and the second was to be with Bergman and Austin, Chaplin for decades. Chaplin considered the Mutual period the happiest period of his career, though he had other concerns that during that time the films were formulaic, due to the stringent construction program due to their contract requirements. After America's entry into World War, Chaplin became a spokesman for freedom bonds with his close friend Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. [6]
Most of Chaplin's films were distributed in Keystone, Essenay and Mutual period. After Chaplin took control of his productions in 1918 (and the exhibitors and spectators waiting for him), industrialists brought Chaplin's old comedy back to his demand Completed The films were rebuilt, re-titled and repeated again made popular, for the first cinemas, then in the home movie market and in recent years, for home video. Essanay was also guilty of this practice, 'New' Chaplin made humor from old film clips and rejected performance. In 1933 twelve Mutual Humor was made new as the sound film, when the producer Amadi J. Van Buren added new orchestral tunes and sound effects. List of dozens of Chaplin films and alternate versions Ted Okwooda-DavidCharlie Chaplin: The Tramp can be found at the beginning of Massa's book, Keystone and Essane . The attempt to create definite versions of Chaplin's pre-1918 short films has begun in recent years; All twelve Mutual movies were restored in 1975 by archivist David Sheppard and Blackhawk films , and in 2006, new reconstructions were released on DVD with more footage.
Film production techniques [ edit ]
Chaplin never talked about his filmmaking methods more than the cursor, claiming that doing so would be like breaking the illusion of a magician. In fact, in 1940, the movie called The Great DictatorChaplin never worked in the entire scripts until he started making. He developed this method when his essence contract gave him the opportunity to write and direct his films, which was to start with a vague premises - for example "Charlie entered a health spa" or "Charlie is a moneylender. Work in the shop. "Chaplin then created sets and worked with his stock company to improve the" junk "and" business "around them, Always considering the film. Like accepting and abandoning ideas, the structure of a narrative emerges, often Chaplin would often have to shoot back the entire issue, which would otherwise have broken the story. [11] Chaplin's unique film-making technique was known after his death, In the case of his rare surviving shot and cut sequence carefully examined.
This is one reason why Chaplin used to spend more time in fulfilling his films than his rivals. Apart from this, Chaplin was an incredibly demanding director, as he would show his actors exactly what he wanted and take countless shots, until he got the shot as he wanted. (Animation director Chuck Jones , who lived near Charlie Chaplin's Lone Star Studios in the Youth, said that his father had told how Chaplin shot a scene hundred times until he was satisfied with it. [12]This combination of story continuous improvement and endless perfection - as a result of the efforts of the day and the film of thousands of meters was a waste, all at a huge cost-often Chaplin was expensive and he used to take frustration on his actor and crew. , Used to wait them for hours, in extreme cases, the construction was completely closed. [11]
Creative control [ edit ]
At the conclusion of the Mutual contract in 1917, Chaplin signed a contract to produce eight, two reel films with First National . These paintings (1 918-23) were financed and distributed by First National, but otherwise they were given full creative control which they could do in a slow motion, due to which they were able to concentrate on quality. Chaplin had his own Hollywood studio Through the creation and use of their freedom, did eternal work, which will remain entertaining and influential. Although First National has developed a short comedy from Chaplin umm Celebrated Mutuals like the did, Chaplin expanded in most of its length feature films to personal projects with ambition, which Shoulder Arms (1918), The Pilgrim (1923) and the feature-length classic The Kid (1921) were included.
In 1919, Chaplin co-founded a joint artist film distribution company with Mary Pickfford , Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith , all of this wanted to get rid of growing power distributors and financials in the developing Hollywood studio system. This step, along with full control over the production of his film by his studio, gave Chaplin the assurance of independence as a filmmaker. From the early 1950s, he worked in the UA board.
Chaplin's all concert film began with feature length, unusual acting, in which Chaplin had only a short cameo role, A Woman of Paris (1923). This was followed by the classic comic Gold Rush (1925) and The Circus (1928).
After the arrival of several sound films, Chaplin made The Circus (1928), City Lights (1931), as well as Modern Times (1936) , before being committed to the sound . It was originally silent films, in which music and sound were successful with the effect. City Lights was arguably the most accurate balance of comedy and sentimentality. In the final scene, reviewer James Aggiwrote in the Life magazine in 1949 that it was "the biggest piece of acting that ever committed films ."
Chaplin's talk of films in Hollywood was The Great Dictator (1940), Monsieur Verdoux (1947) and Limelight (1952).
While the Modern Times (1936) was silent, there was talk - mostly from inanimate objects like a radio or a TV moderator. It was done to help the 1930s audience, who was not used to watching silent films, So that they can get adjusted in the movie without interaction. Modern Times was the first movie in which Chaplin's voice was heard (in the end, in a nonsense song he himself wrote and performed). However, many viewers still consider it a silent film-and the end of an era.
However, after being popular in 1927, "Wackup" became a major method of making the film immediately , but during the 1930s Chaplin resisted making such a film. He considered Cinema as a mute drama art. He said: "Usually organisms are understood more easily than the word, like the Chinese symbols, it means different according to the theatrical meaning. Listen to the description of some unfamiliar object - for example, an African warthog; Take picture and tell how surprised you are! " Time Magazine, February 9, 1931
It is a tribute to Chaplin's versatility that he got credit for doing choreography in the 1952 film Limelight and the other being a singer in The Circus (1928). The best known of many songs composed by him is " Smile ", [[Smile (Charlie Chaplin song). Modern Times ]] (1936) and was given lyrical help to promote the film's revival in the 1950s, famous coverage by Net King Cole was made. From Chaplin's last film, "This Is My Song", in the 1960s, "A Countess from Hong Kong" was in the first category in many different languages (notably the edition by Petula Clark and The Seeker 'sJudith Durham looking for the 1990 version recorded in 1967 decade, which previously was not released) and Limelight was successful under "Eternally" title in the 1950s Chaplin's theme from. Chaplin's successful move for Limelight won an Academy Award in 1972 ; The delay in the beginning of this film in Los Angeles made it desirable after decades of being filmed. Chaplin also wrote a comment for his last silent films, when he was re-released in the Sound Age, especially in 1971 on The Kid 's re-release.
The Great Dictator [ edit ]
Chaplin's first speaking film, The Great Dictator (1940), was an act of defiance against German dictator Adolf Hitler and Nazism , a year before America abandoned the neutrality policy to enter World War II , in the United States Filmed and released. Chaplin played the character of "Adenoid Hynekl", [13] The dictator of Tomaniya was clearly based on Hitler. In this film, comedian Jack Ocky performed "Benzino Napaloni", the dictator of the bacteria. The role of Napalony was clearly an attack on Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and fascism .
Paulette Goddard appeared in the film again with Chaplin, portraying a woman in the ghetto. In the political environment of that time, this movie was seen as an act of courage, for the depiction of Nazism and portraying of Jewish characters, and for their depiction of oppression. Chaplin played the role of both Adenoid Hynkl and a Nazi-persecuted Jewish barber, who physically resembled Chaplin's abusive character. At the conclusion, by merging the two roles painted by Chaplin through a complex conspiracy, he came out of his comedy role to greet the audience with a speech.
He was nominated for the creation, writing and acting of The Great Dictator .
Politics [ edit ]
Chaplin's political sympathy was always for the opposition party . His contemporaries considered his politics normal, but in the 1940s his views (with the combination of their influence, fame and status as a foreigner in the United States) were seen as communists by many people . [ Please add citation ] In addition to collapsing in poverty and their conflict with law, their silent films made before the Great Depression usually did not include direct political topics or messages. But his 1930s films were openly political. In the Modern Times , the workers and poor people have been depicted in a disappointing situation. The Great DictatorIn the last dramatic speech, which was critical to patriotism nationalism without question, and support of his vocal public was open to debate in the second World War in the second world war in 1942, to open the second European border for the Soviet Union . In at least one of those speeches, according to a contemporary narrative in the daily worker , he had informed that communism would spread to the world after World War II and it was said to be equal to human progress [ add quote ] .
In addition to controversial speeches in 1942, after giving support to World War I , Chaplin refused to support the war effort, due to which the people became angry, although both of his sons worked in the army of Europe. During most World War II, Joanne was fighting serious criminal and civil charges in connection with Barry (see below). After the war, in 1947, the black comedy , Monsieur Verdoux raised serious animosity towards capitalism in capitalism [ please Add quotes ] , in which this film became the subject of protest in many American cities. [ Add quote ]As a result, Chaplin's last American film, Limelight , was less political and less autobiographical. His next Europe-made film, A King in New York (1957), satirizes political oppression and paranoia, which forced him to leave the US five years ago. After this film, Chaplin left interest in filming on direct political messages, later saying that comedians and Joker should be "above politics". [ Add quote ]
McCarthy era [ edit ]
Although Chaplin had many successes in the United States and resident from 1914 to 1953, he always maintained a neutral nationalist position. During the McCarthyera, Chaplin was accused of " non-American activities " as a dubious communist and J. Edgar Hoover , who is the FBIInstructed them to keep a comprehensive secret file, tried to finish their residence in the United States. After the 1942 campaign for the second European border in the war, the pressure of the FBI on Chaplin increased and reached a critical level in the late 1940s, when Congressmen threatened to call him as a witness in the hearing. This has never happened, probably because of the fear of Chaplin's ability to satirize the investigators. [14]
Chaplin left the US in 1952, which was introduced in the United Kingdom as a short tour for the premiere of Limelight for London . Hoover discovered the trip andnegotiated immigration and civil service to cancel Chaplin's re-entry permit , to oust Chaplin so that he could not return to his alleged political tilt. Chaplin decided not to re-enter the United States, writing that, "Since the end of the last world war, I have become a puppet of lies and propaganda for reactionary powerful groups , who have With its influence and America's yellow journalismWith the help of, an unhealthy environment has been created, in which people with a clear idea are lonely and persecuted. Under these circumstances, it seems almost impossible for me to continue working on my motion film, and so I have left my home in the United States. " [15]
Chaplin made his home in Wave , Switzerland . He briefly won and returned with his wife in April 1972 to receive the honorable Oscars as well as to re-release and market their films in the United States.

Comparison with other silent comics [ edit ]
Since the 1960s, Chaplin's films have been compared with Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd (the other two great silent film comedians of the time), especially among each comed loyal fans.
The three had different styles: Chaplin had a strong relation with emotion and compassion (which was popular in the 1920s), Lloyd was famous for his every personality and 1920s optimism and Keaton with a whimsical tone Adhered to on-screen restraint, which is suitable for modern audiences. At a historical level, Chaplin was behind the leading generation of film comedians and both small Keaton and Harold Lloyd were built on their basis (In fact, Lloyd's first roles "Villi Work" and "Lonesome Luke" clearly dislike Chaplin , Which Lloyd accepted and tried to move away from it-eventually succeeded). Before stepping into Keaton's film, Chaplin's period of the film experiment was a time of mutual time (1 916-1917).
Commercial, Chaplin made some of the highest-grossing films in the silent era ; The Gold Rush is fifth with US $ 42.5 million, and The Circus is seventh with US $ 38 million. Nonetheless, all Chaplin films totaled US $ 105 million, while Harold Lloyd's total was US $ 157 million (Lloyd had more creativity, released twelve feature films in the 1920s, while Chaplin released only three). Buster Keaton's The film was not commercially successful as Chaplin's or Lloyd's height was in his popularity, and in the late 1950s and 1960s, only the critically acclaimed received praise.

Keaton has said in his autobiography that Chaplin is the greatest comedian of all time and the biggest comedy film director.
