I ask because he is still very very famous that others are rather forgotten.
What was so special about him ? for me he had that little something extra.
Give your opinion do you agree or for you it is someone else that is more popular

The fact that he still ranks as the 25th most popular actor of ALL TIME today as a man who was really an icon of the silent film era says something. I have his 1936 silent film: MODERN TIMES, which he is hilarious in, a must see, a real contrast to what was once an art form to what has become trash of the movies today. Charlie is the poor tramp trying to deal with the changes and ingress of technology and modernization. A true comedy which remains valid as a statement to where man remains today lost in the middle of technological modernization. Made all the more poignant and hilarious when seen in contrast with the technologies of the 1930s.

Yes, this film he wanted to show the risks of modern times and he was also afraid of the speaking film for him it was the end of his career, he still succeeded with the dictator of which it is the first speaking film he was the greatest success commercial of Charlie Chaplin but it's not my favorite of his films
I have the collection especially of the beginning of his career 1914

Of course, there is no doubt that "talkies" were inevitable and there is no going back, but the silent era was an art form because it required the actor to engage their audience through expression and actions in a way that modern films do not. Silent films draw the viewer into watching them with a far greater involvement. Turn off the sound of most any modern movie and you'll have no idea what is going on. Not so with a silent film, you can pretty much get the gist of it just from watching the screen.
To this day, my favorite movie and what I consider the best movie EVER made in the history of films is the masterpiece 1927 German Silent film: Metropolis. I have the restored version on DVD. If you've never watched it, especially if you are a sci-fi buff, you will be amazed at the art, the vision, the imagination and the scope.
The acting of Brigitte Helm (Maria) has got to be one of the greatest performances of all time.

Yeah, there is no comedy in Metropolis. Metropolis is about as deep, serious, and hard core as it really gets. It's actually very dark and brooding. It's best to watch it on TV with a good stiff drink or the like. I first saw it as a teen when an old Saturday night horror show aired it. It is a direct reflection on our culture, then and today, the conflict and injustice caused by a division of labors. You have the ruling class enjoying the fruits of the labor class who do the toil. The movie really has a beautifully simple message in it in the end: That the mediator between the head (administration, leadership, management) and the hands (labor, production) must be the HEART (compassion, a desire for justice for all). There still exists in our world today 93 years later no such mediator between those two and certainly very little heart. Just imagine the profound impact on this world if finally some day we ever actually took that advice of a movie made 93 years ago!
Of course Hollywood loved Charlie Chaplin.
He was a liberal. a pedophile, and a commie sympathizer.
Basically, the Harvey Weinstein of his day. ...
