Charles Chaplin was born the 16th of April in 1889 in the East Lane, Walworth. His parents, Hannah Hili and Charles Chaplin, were singers and actors of varieties Jews. He had a brother called Sydney.
In that moment, things didn’t work very well for the family; their father, Charles, had abandoned them because he had problems with alcohol. Hannah had to care for Sydney and Charlie by herself and started to lose her voice. In 1894 while she was singing, her voice broke. The entrepreneur sent to the scene, little Charles with only five years old, who imitated Hannah’s voice including the final demise, for the fun of the public. That was his artistic debut.
Charles Chaplin was a great director and actor, in 1914 he rode more than 30 films, and one of them was “Laughing Gas”. In that film, Charles is a dentist and one of his patients receive a big amount laughing gas.
From 1915 to 1966 he made more than 100 films. The most popular was “The Gold Rush” in 1925. Maybe the most popular story about this film was that Chaplin had to eat a boot made of liquorice; the scene was shot so many times that Charles finally sick.
In 1935 Chaplin made his first movie with sound “modern times”. The movie criticizes the desperate conditions of employment for the working class at the time of the Great Depression. “Modern Times” was a film from the silent films and talkies. Some sound effects were included in the film, like music, singers and voices coming from radios and speakers and the sound of machine activity. At the end of the film can be briefly heard the voice of Charles Chaplin, who sings a version of the Daniderff Léo song, "Je cherche après Titine" but without meaning, known as "charabia", which seek to resemble sounds a mixture of French and Italian, with some words in English.
Chaplin made his first talkie in 1940 called "The Great Dictator” this movie was a harsh criticism of the Nazi empire. In the story, Chaplin has two papers: a Jew from a ghetto, and “the dictator” (the critic of Hitler). The movie shows to the world in a humorous way what happened in World War II. I want to tell, from my personal opinion that you have to see this movie at least once in life: an excellent script and uncensored (this is without doubt one of my favourite movies) Curiosities about this movie:

-It was censured in Spain until the date of the die of Franco

- Adolf Hitler asked to put the film, not once but twice, and people never knew about his comments on it. In an interview, Chaplin said he would do anything for himself to know the views of Hitler

- Chaplin took 559 days to finish the film

- The language that gives the speeches Astolfo Hynkel (the copy of Hitler) is not German, but a language improvised by Charles Chaplin.
