	The Great Dictator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chaplin's film is nearly unique from this period (1940), when the U.S. was still at peace with Germany, for its fearless satirization and condemnation of Hitler and Nazism, and for its vivid portrayal of the plight of Jews in Europe.
		Chaplin, as an unnamed private in the army of the fictional nation of Tomania, valiantly attempts to rescue an officer named Schultz (Reginald Gardiner), only to lose his memory when the plane the two had taken off in crashes into a tree.
		Chaplin's controversial speech, seen as an overtly political speech, may have contributed the litany of reasons he was ultimately denied reentry in the United States during the McCarthy era.

	Charlie Chaplin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chaplin was one of the most creative personalities in the silent film era; he acted in, directed, scripted, produced, and eventually scored his own films.
		The film was a remarkable act of courage in the political environment of the time, both for its fearless ridicule of Nazism, and for the portrayal of overt Jewish characters and the depiction of their persecution.
		Chaplin and actress Paulette Goddard were involved in a romantic and professional relationship between 1932 and 1940, with Goddard living with Chaplin in his Beverly Hills home for most of this time.

	MSN Encarta - Charlie Chaplin
		Chaplin first appeared on the screen in 1914 with the Keystone Film Company of American director Mack Sennett.
		Chaplin perfected an individual style of performing, derived from the circus clown and the mime, combining acrobatic elegance, expressive gesture, facial eloquence, and impeccable timing.
		Film sound recording in the late 1920s, however, imperiled the effectiveness of the pantomime on which much of his creative imagination depended; also, he became concerned with themes of contemporary significance.

	Modern Times (1936)
		Filmed between 1932 and 1936, it was directed, written, scored, and produced by Chaplin himself - and he also starred in his own 'one-man show' with his current wife and kindred spirit Paulette Goddard.
		The foreword explains the film's theme: "'Modern Times.' A story of industry, of individual enterprise - humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness." The film opens with an overhead shot of a flock of sheep jostling in their sheep pen, and rushing through a chute.
		In one of the film's great opening scenes, the conveyor belt sequence, a masterpiece of choreography, the Tramp is a factory worker (Charlie Chaplin) whose job it is to tighten bolts on an endless series of machine parts - he is a small cog in the factory that exploits its workers.

	The Gold Rush (1925)
		It was Chaplin's own personal favorite film, that showcases the classic Tramp character (referred to as "The Little Fellow" in the re-release version) as a romantic idealist and lone gold prospector at the turn of the century, with his cane, derby, distinctive walk, tight shabby suit, and mustache.
		The film, inspired in part by the gruesome Donner Party story, was shot (over a period of 15 months from spring 1924-summer 1925) both on a Hollywood studio back lot and in Truckee, California/Nevada, and premiered in New York at the Strand Theatre in mid-August, 1925.

		For example, this film was the last famous silent comedy, and because of this, it has to be famous for a reason.
		Chaplin ends up so high on cocaine that he cannot even turn properly (let alone walk straight) and his eyes are so wide open that he literally does not blink.
		Because of the film's left-wing nature, FBI agents became incredibly suspicious of Chaplin and his works and this would be one of the many reasons why Chaplin was forced out of the U.S. Despite the fact the film is a silent film, the film does use music, sound effects and a tiny amount of speech.

		In the fall of 1898, when Hannah Chaplin was diagnosed with syphilis, she had just been transferred from the Lambeth poorhouse to the Lambeth infirmary for emergency evaluation of an acute pyschosis characterized by agitation, disorientation, confusion, delusional thinking and an abnormal sensation in her head.
		Chaplin the omniscient narrator's only criticism of the otherwise long-suffering and sorely wronged father character in the novel (Calvero) is that "had he known...[the full] extent of her [Eva/Hannah's] promiscuity, his attitude might have been different.
		And so 75-year-old Chaplin summed her up in My Autobiography by simply saying: "to judge the morals of our family by commonplace standards would be as erroneous as putting a thermometer in boiling water." With great delicacy and tact, the loving son left the rest of her story to the reader's imagination.
