“Hard to believe - Once their was a world without Charlie Chaplin.”

Statement above opens the 2003 documentary “Charlie: The Life and Art of Charles Chaplin" written and directed by Richard Schickel.

“His was the face of his century. His was the life of his century. Through his will and energy, and yes genius he encompassed, as much as one man can, the joy and the anguish of his times their romance, their horrors and, of course, what laughter we could find in them. He was a flawed man, a haunted man, a tormented man, which is to say, he was only human but with this uncanny ability to reflect and refract our humanity back at us”.

The author of these words, explains Charlie Chaplin & his creation perfectly.

“I never thought of the Tramp in terms of appeal. He was myself, a comic spirit, something within me that said I must express this. I felt so free. The adventure of it. The madness. I can do any mad, crazy thing I like. And then?—did it come off, this insane idea I had, did it come off? That was the thrill.”

Charles Chaplin April 16, 1889 — December 25, 1977
