One of my favorite actors of all time...there isnt much to say in this blog I guess..the Tramp .had he been one of the rare ones to live a SUPER LONG life..could have been alive today.but turning 122, that would have been very unlikely..anyways, Google decided to change the search bar to a poorly copied version of one of his videos...it was alright, but having seen a lot of Charlie Chaplin videos in my day (I own quite a few of his dvds of his short films) I hold a pretty high standard to silent films lol.
I was convinced that Supertramps song "Take the long way home" is an ode to Charlie Chaplin. Not just because it references "City lights" but because it talks about a man who is comfortable as his work on stage, but not as much in his regular life..he was a a slave to his job, and it pisses off his wife and family for him being himself...him having an arrogance to life, but living it the way he is comfortable in doing so as well. just as the real Charlie The Tramp Chaplin was in real life.
In high school, I had picked Charlie Chaplin to do as a project EVERY CHANCE I got, so studying him has been a long term fortay of mine...and twice ive dressed up in drag on halloween just to be my uber-hero. Anyways... yes, Happy birthday to a legend, I hope people all around the world remember Charles Spencer Chaplin on this day, and how he changed films forever.
