Charlie Chaplin’s genius lay in his ability to make people laugh while also making them think. At a time when movies were silent, his physical comedy, facial expressions, and meticulously choreographed gags transcended language barriers.Charlie Chaplin’s work remains timeless, continuing to inspire filmmakers, comedians, and audiences around the world. His ability to create humor out of hardship and his commitment to highlighting human struggles make his films as relevant today as they were a century ago.
He once said:”A day without laughter is a day wasted.”
Charlie Chaplin’s first movie was “Making a Living”, released on February 2, 1914. It was a short silent film produced by Keystone Studios, in which Chaplin played a swindler rather than his iconic “Tramp” character.However, his first appearance as the “Tramp” was in “Kid Auto Races at Venice”, released just a few days later, on February 7, 1914. This role became his trademark and launched his legendary career.
