Charlie Chaplin was a British actor and comedian, who was a distinguished star in the 20th century’s silent- film era. In fact, many stars in this area originated from a working-class background. He was raised in a poor neighborhood by river warehouses, located in Westminster. Therefore, Chaplin emerged creating films that pertained with the working class perspective. This enabled the audiences of the urban life to relate with the film (Ross 44). Both of his had been music hall entertainers,…

used war bonds in WWI also. The campaign was created by William Gibbs McAdoo, the Secretary of the Treasury. Posters were the most common form of advertisement. Much like WWII, famous figures were used to promote the bonds, such as Elsie Janis and Charlie Chaplin. The Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts also sold bonds using the slogan “Every Scout to Save a Soldier.” The total cost raised was $21.5 billion (much less than the $185.7 billion raised in WWII). Also, the United States was not the only…

Charlie Chaplin Charlie Chaplin was the most recognizable person on the planet and It 's no exaggeration that for the greatest part of this century Chaplin did everything in show business; he was an actor, director, screenwriter, producer and composer. He was the ideal rags to riches role model that every American had dreamed of becoming.

gets a pass to be left alone. However, since Hynkel commands all jews to be put in a concentration camp, Chaplin ends up thrown in as well. He ends up escaping and is later mistaken for Hynkel because of the close resemblance. Paulette Goddard and Charlie Chaplin had a strong connection for filmmaking as seen in the barbershop scene where Chaplin is asked to give Hannah a makeover. The most powerful scene I’ve seen in a film from Chaplin was the speech he gave addressing the world. To conclude…

A year or so ago, I sought advice from my lovely daughter about the best way to address our concerns and make positive impact on our son’s life, who is at his teen now. My daughter, heartily explained what I could do right to guide my son and where I could go wrong, as she had have experienced during her teen age. I am so glad that I had the conversation, it made me realize that we (the immigrant parents) are further apart in our upbringing than that of our first generation children, it is…

Among the numerous great silent film directors, the three that are commonly mentioned surrounding that discussion are Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Charlie Chaplin. Having seen a greater amount of Charlie Chaplin’s wonderful work than the others, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd most certainly still got my consideration. In spite of every one of the three delivering awesome pieces of visual artwork, they shared some comparable attributes, but they each had unique differences which contributed…

As society develops, the arts inevitably develop with it; classic vinyls turn into cassettes that eventually become digitally transferred mp3 files. However, just as Urban Outfitters has created the return of the vinyl by selling the young adult demographic fantasy of the reversion to what the older generation called “real music”; the appeal of black and white films is the fantasy of a simpler time of flapper dresses and men laying their coats down for women to walk over. It is for this…

Best filmmaker in the 1920’s? Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin changed the way films were produced and how they were seen. Compare what technology is today to what it used to be. Imagine watching a black and white movie with no talking nor outside sounds. Watching a movie today at the movie theater you can almost feel the vibration from how loud it is. Chaplin was able to produce and star in silent films and he still was able to get his point across. Today when people watch a movie, there are multiple…

Bill "Bojangles" Robinson The dancer I chose is Bill Robinson. He is also known as Bojangles, which is his nickname. However, his original birth name was Luther. Bill was born in Richmond, Virginia, on May 25, 1878. He lived his life as an actor and tap dancer until he died in New York in 1949, from heart disease. Bill began his dancing career at the age of 7, when he quit school so he could become a dancer. This must have worked out for him, because by the end of his life he…
