Charlie Chaplin said.. !!


Back to the days when I used to watch Charlie Chaplin episodes, they were extremelly funny having the most amazing scenes I have ever seen in short movies. This man, with the lack of all the current technologies and the difficulties that he was facing to shoot a movie, beginning from the inability of having the actors voices, passing through the poor quality of the picture ending by the limited places to show such movies as cinemas were slightly available. Despite the presence of all of these obstacles, Charlie Chaplin essayed to find a place in the people's heart and his movies are still having interest from everyone, even with the movies that we already watch with the current technologies used in movies production. I wonder how a simple thing such as these movies can stand all these period having its brightness, I refer this success achieved by Chaplin to the philosophical view that this man concerning sending a message without words, a laugh without mumbling the lips, a scene's picture without a sound. This sort of art that ressembles to an artist painting a paint with a brush, a paper and colors, or a musical symphony arranged by a musician. I'd equate his innovation to Mozart's, Liszt's, Picasso's and Michael Angelo's innovations. In fact, he continued making this kind of silent movies starting from 1914 till 1942.

Analyzing Chaplin's role in comedy movies foundation, he always wanted to focus on some concepts such as respecting poor people, sympazithing with helpless people and appreciating any efforts exerted to ameliorate any invention that might be useful for mankind. Although movies production were very limited, but I believe that Chaplin's movies were a bright side among the violence presented the World War I and the World War II incidents. He had even tried to include some scenes from the war in some movies. I wouldn't state which movies were really concerned about such political issues, after all I'm not about reviewing Chaplin's movies, but criticizing Chaplin's role affecting people's life during this period.

As I believe that any piece of art is always suitable to be presented anytime. Although the majority of the art sorts are currently presented and still there exist many artists who are really interested to continue presenting many sorts of those kind of arts such as classical music and classical movies, I hope to see more work for such silent movies type presented from artists who still believe in such type of arts. Perhaps, it would have a positive effect to cheer up the people's mood surrounded by many pressure and bad news.
