	TIME 100: Charlie Chaplin
		An advertisement for a Charlie Chaplin film was a promise of happiness, of that precious, almost shocking moment when art delivers what life cannot, when experience and delight become synonymous, and our investments yield the fabulous, unmerited bonanza we never get past expecting.
		He was the first, and to date the last, person to control every aspect of the filmmaking process — founding his own studio, United Artists, with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and D.W. Griffith, and producing, casting, directing, writing, scoring and editing the movies he starred in.
		In 1923 Hart Crane, who wrote a poem about Chaplin, said his pantomime "represents the futile gesture of the poet today." Later, in the 1950s, Chaplin was one of the icons of the Beat Generation.

	A Tribute to Charlie Chaplin
		Chaplin was an astute businessperson, retaining ownership of his films, carefully preserving them, and rereleasing them on a regular basis to new audiences.
		But it is also because Charlie Chaplin, The Little Tramp -- who was distinctly different from Charles Chaplin himself, despite Freud's opinion that Chaplin basically played himself as he was in his "dismal" youth -- was a universal character who appealed to every person who has ever been poor, downtrodden, or put-upon.
		So popular was Chaplin that at the very first Oscar ceremonies, the Academy decided to remove his name from the competition and instead give him a Special Award for versatility and genius in acting, writing, directing and producing for The Circus.

		Chronicling Chaplin's career from the first onscreen appearance of his immortal Tramp character, in the 1914 "Kid Auto Races at Venice," to his old age spent in Switzerland while exiled from the United States, the film contains a cornucopia of film clips, rare footage and interviews with colleagues, relatives and contemporary admirers.
		Although the film deals in great detail with Chaplin's often tortured personal life, including a succession of relationships with very young women, it is clearly more interested in his working methods.
		Rare footage of Chaplin at work on the set painstakingly attempting to create his complex gags is endlessly fascinating, and the generous selection of clips from his films, naturally presented in pristine condition, demonstrate that the impact of his artistry has not diminished with time.

		And Charlie Chaplin, under that name, and under such nom-de-plumes as "the eternal tramp," "the tramp philosopher," and so on, has risen to fame as an icon alone.
		Unlike the characters played by many actors over the years, Charles Chaplin's Tramp was a consistent character who grew in depth and complexity over the years to become a powerful icon and symbol.
		While Chaplin himself was, of course, prominent on the world scene as well, he was less the being celebrated, when folk spoke his name, than his icon was: the iconic stature really belonged to his far more prominent filmic creation, for better or worse.
