I never saw any of Chaplin's films yet, I just saw some clips from many different films but I definitely want to explore his filmography. After seeing some clips from this film and someone that has told me that Robert Downey Jr. was great in it I wanted to see it right away and I really enjoyed it. It's always good to see Downey Jr. act and once again I loved him! He portrayed Charlie Chaplin brilliantly! All of Chaplin's moves were perfectly executed! This movie is more centered in his private life but it also has great parts about his cinematic life. It shows how people loved silent movie stars and how the transition from silent to sound made some slient actors fall in forgetfulness, even Chaplin suffered during that times as well. Definitely worth watching!

Continuing my quest to watch all the movies from all my future husbands: Robert Downey Jr :pound_symbol:3 For me, this movie was just a bit too long. It was really interesting though and I found it quite fascinating, although it was hard to root for Chaplin, given how many women he married (and how some were underaged). But I guess it's not about rooting for him, just learning about him. Robert Downey Jr absolutely smashed this role. If it weren't for him I don't know if I could have gotten to the end of this movie. Definitely an interesting watch.

Robert Downey Jr. takes the title role in this dramatized biography of the great pioneering silent movie star. Chaplin’s real life was stuffed with scandalous tidbits - romances with much younger women, an ugly paternity suit, clashes with the Hollywood elite, accusations of communism - and those More

Told by way of a retrospective, this is a stylish and informative - if not always very entertaining - biopic on the legendary film star. He is discussing his autobiography and as he meanders down memory lane, we accompany him from his life in Edwardian London through his journey to the USA where he More
