Charlie Chaplin's Comedy clips for laughing
Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. He became a worldwide icon through his screen persona, the Tramp, and is considered one of the film industry's most important figures. His career spanned more than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977, and encompassed both adulation and controversy.
Born in London to Hannah Harriet Pedlingham (Hill) and Charles Chaplin Sr., both music hall performers, Chaplin was raised in poverty and hardship. He began performing in music halls at a young age and eventually made his way to Hollywood in 1910. He quickly became one of the most popular actors in the world, known for his signature humor, slapstick, and pathos.
Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, edited, starred in, and composed the music for most of his films. He was a perfectionist, and his financial independence enabled him to spend years on the development and production of a picture. His films are characterised by slapstick combined with pathos, typified in the Tramp's struggles against adversity. Many contain social and political themes, as well as autobiographical elements.
Chaplin's most famous films include The Kid (1921), City Lights (1931), Modern Times (1936), and The Great Dictator (1940). He was also a vocal critic of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. In 1940, he was awarded an Honorary Academy Award for "the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century."
Chaplin was a controversial figure throughout his career. He was accused of communism, immorality, and even of being a German spy. However, he remained one of the most popular and respected figures in the world, and his films continue to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages.
