Chaplin, the Father of Silent Film

In the spring of 1889, Charlie Chaplin was born almost unknown artist Parents Music Hall. The child grew and became the biggest international star of American silent comic cinema. Chaplin was the first to recognize the artistic genius of world cinema, recognized by the influential generation of artists and spectators.

While the public has forgotten silent film era stars Charlie Chaplin lot remains a concept in most of the world. Charlie Chaplin was a face very turbulent childhood. Little Charlie also lived in several places before he and his brother were sent to Kennington Road School and later at a school for poor, due to their financial situation. The subjects of his films were strongly influenced by his childhood incidents and experiences. His genius was essentially a pantomime, perfect for the era of silent films. Chaplin’s early comedies used extreme physical comedy and exaggerated gestures. The visual gags were pure fun. The Tramp character is aggressively assault his enemies with kicks and stones. People loved him, but critics warned that his comedy bordering on vulgarity.

During the period 1918 to 1922, made films such as A Dog’s Life, The Kid, the leisure class and the pilgrim. After several short films as Essanay, Mutual Film Corporation and First National was involved in various facets of film as an actor, director and production. Some of his films from a woman in Paris (1923), The Gold Rush (1925) and The Circus (1928). Masterpieces made City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936). Although they were silent films were immensely popular and had his own music and sound effects. City Lights was by far his most balanced film, comedy and cope with feelings. Hollywood talkies are made in The Great Dictator (1940), Monsieur Verdoux (1947) and Limelight (1952). While Modern Times (1936) is a non-talkie, which contains dialouges of inanimate objects, like a radio.

Talkies became the dominant popular form of filmmaking since 1927, but Chaplin was opposed to the idea because it’s an art film pantomime. Let’s use some of his films in detail. Care Center tells the story of a once great comic scene, whose career has been unable alcoholism. The man eventually saves the life of a dancer in a desperate suicide attempt. Monsieur Verdoux is a blistering black comedy released in 1947. Chaplin plays Henri Verdoux, a civilized monster who marries wealthy women, then murder and use their money to support his real family.

A Woman of Paris was written and directed by Charlie Chaplin. Edna Purviance was designed to start a serious acting career. The Circus tells the story of a failing circus little tramp who breaks into the center ring of the store and captivates the audience recruits. The little tramp is a gold-digger who ventured to Alaska in search of his fortune. He engages in some pretty scary characters, while in love with a beautiful girl named Georgia. The Gold Rush is now beautiful cinematography. City Lights is regarded as his own son. He wrote the script and music and also directed, produced and edited this film classic. The film is about the ups and downs of the Little Tramp, in love with a girl who thinks it’s someone else.

Modern Times is a wonderful film that is probably as relevant today as it was in 1936. The film is incredibly clever use of sound and sound effects are quite advanced. Modern Times explores the dehumanization of work.
