Charlie Chaplin

(1998) claimed that the film took advantage of a piece of horror in history just to make a repugnant entertainment out of it. In the first half, Guido was oozing with farcicality but his character should have been built up. It reminded me of Charlie Chaplin and Mr. Bean, who I think are two of the most annoying and diabolical characters in television history. Salon.com (1998) added that Guido’s kind of humour was inappropriate since it was showing callousness even on a time of disaster. Another…

SP A main theme portrayed all throughout The Crucible: Belief vs Truth. The Puritans would rather do what their religion says than to open their eyes and accept the truth, and it’s because of that-that so many are killed. This is similar to McCarthyism in the 1950s. Senator McCarthy was out to expose all members of the communist party. However, apparently the real communists weren’t enough once he started blacklisting famous people that he only thought were communists. That’s where the…

deconstructed recording based on Eisler’s musical compositions for films from the 1920’s and 1940’s: Opus III (1924) for an experimental animated film, the score Fourteen Ways to Describe Rain (1941) for the film Regen (1929) by Joris Ivens and Charlie Chaplin commissioned Eisler to write the score for his final silent film The Circus (1928). The composition was interrupted when Eisler was deported from the US because of his communist convictions. It never made it into Chaplin’s…

I never know what will happen from one day to the next. It goes to further reinforce my rationale for mistrust. We have grown too reliant on technology in our lives. I like old movies—one in particular, “The Great Dictator” features Charlie Chaplin. Though it makes fun of Adolf Hitler, I wish society had gained from it’s merits sooner. In 1940, he describes the television and the radio as devices that would bring us closer together. He anticipated that they would make us more compassionate…

Jack Benny was an American comedian that performed in vaudeville, radio, television, and motion picture. He was known as the leading American entertainer of the 20th Century.

His career spanned over 50 years. Jack Benny’s birth name was Benjamin Kubelsky. He was born on February 14, 1894 in Chicago, Illinois. Both of…

It has influenced artists and playwrights such as Lope de Vega, Shakespeare, Picasso, Moliere, Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin, and Carlo Goldoni, who has used its elements to help transformed performing arts. Although Commedia dell'arte eventually declined during the seventeenth century, some of its core elements such as the introduction of actresses, stock characters…

hierarchies and direct forms of control are necessary to increase productivity, because all employees need to do is to perform defined roles with specific duties, such as screwing nuts on an assembly line, the only duty of the factory worker Charlie Chaplin played in “Modern Times”. He was deemed valuable only for his usefulness as a means for the interests of the employer, subjected to such indignity as being forced-fed by a machine and an accelerating assembly line at an ever increasing rate.…

other artists have made use of chance and improvisation in their work and it gives us a hint of John’s Avant-garde influence.2 John Cage, the influential Avant-garde composer was famously known for his use of chance in composing music. Similarly, Charlie Chaplin greatly improvised his movies without a rigid script. A more recent example would be the great American filmmaker David Lynch. Lynch works without storyboards and at times decides the ending of his movie when he is more than halfway…

Charlie Chaplin once said, “He who feeds a hungry animal feeds his own soul”. As of 2017 there were 126.22 million families in America, yet there were 70 million stray animals, enough for at least one family to adopt. These animals included dogs and cats only, that had no home and were destined for a negative outcome. These animals would be brought to puppy mills or humane societies where they could only stay a few weeks unless adopted. From there, they were to be euthanized or in some cases,…
