By this time (1936) everyone was clamoring to hear Chaplin's voice. Chaplin never wanted to have the Tramp speak in any language to keep the character universal. But--OK---you want to hear my voice? Here's my voice....it is just in no particular language....it is just gibberish! Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
He said bowl of Jello and Taxi which are English and said Senora which is Spanish. I think he spoke other languages also but do not understand all of it.
Chaplin did not want to sing in any particular language because he did not want the Tramp to be of any particular nationality. That way film-lovers all around the world could as easily identify with the Tramp :) Chaplin truly was a genious of his time.
this scene, is actually just a contestation to she audio in movies, that Chaplin thought was useless. with this song, he is just showing that cinema don't need words to reach his goals
Emmanuele Ettore Vercillo That's right. To that I would add that it's an absolutely brilliant joke. At last! Hear Charlie Chaplin sing! . . . in gibberish. He may be finally using sound, but he got the last laugh by using it to say that it's not necessary to tell a story.
Animated Film Reviews Actually it's not nonsense, it's a mix of languages, two languages. hes actually telling a story as hes singing, about a girl who he shared a taxi with and made the taxi go around a circle twice and basically at the end the girl asks for his big diamond ring and so he gives her the ring, she then gives him a kiss and leaves ("tra-la-la-la-la")
@@nonnone7060 it's not a coherent story, the words don't fit together. The joke was that, in the silent era, the intertitles could be translated into any language, so the Tramp could be from anywhere, and thus appealed to everyone everywhere. But in the sound era, if he talked he was from a definite place, with a definite language and definite accent. So in the he interest of not alienating anyone, the first time we hear the Tramp say anything... it's gibberish. www.charliechaplin.com/en/articles/114-Nonsense-Song-from-Modern-Times-Titine-
@@nonnone7060! the lyrics wrote on his hand were talking about a gay man in a boulevard i'm not joking check the part when he is reading the lirycs on his hand in the backstage
@SonofSethoitae you are right but @Xxero Chronicles isn't wrong. While it's gibberish it's also a mixture of languages and the story the Tramp tells is what the dude said
Most people don't know but Charlie Chaplin was not only a brilliant actor, comedian and director but also very talented composer of the soundtrack music in his films!
È VERO, ECCO PERCHÉ IO DICO CHE È STATO UN ARTISTA SU TUTTI I FRONTI.... UNICO NEL SUO GENERE.... MA UNICO ANCHE COME PERSONA.... INCOMPARABILE.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Exactly ! But with the exception of just this song, which is actually Chaplin's version of "Je chèrche après Titine," originally composed by Leo Daniderff in 1917.
@Master Farr this movie came out well after films had synced audio. Chaplin was a hold out and insisted on the silent style. This scene was The first time viewers heard his voice.
This was the first time the world ever heard Charles Chaplin's voice, and he made it in a way that everyone in the world could understand. Truly a genious.
Mr Charlie Chaplin was a genius and still has no rival nowadays with this singing contest. Who else can be call a Legend of talent but him? The whole movie is a masterpiece and still represents a real universal thing from 1936 to 2021. This is just a Genius at work!

The greatest entertainer of all time. The most talented & skilled. He sang, composed music, played instruments, danced, acted, directed, wrote, & produced. Did I forget anything? Probably.

ilovekane19 ; Take a look at Bob Fosse's song-and-dance routine 'The Snake', in the 1974 production of 'The Little Prince', and you'll see who the true dancing genius is. All hail Fosse!
I seen this movie last week in the Glasgow city halls with the BBC Orchestra playing the music score.To see it on a big screen with a live orchestra was just fantastic.A totally different experience sitting with a hall of 900 people, and the musicians, laughing With a great performance from the BBC SSO.Chaplin also wrote a lot of the music for it. A wonderful evening and a wonderful movie .
From what I remember from my communications class in college, Chaplin actually sang in complete gibberish because he was terrified of Americans finding out he’s British since he had never spoken in his films before. For this film he was supposed to have a singing part and there was no way to get out of it. Chaplin, who was actually supposed to sing coherent lyrics, changed it. This worked because he already does storytelling through movement and his body extremely well.
Мне было семь лет. И когда я смотрела фильмы Чарли Чаплина по нашему советскому телевидению на телевизоре Неман, я задыхалась от смеха, падала со стула, и думала, что я просто умру от конвульсий. Непревзойдённый Чарли Чаплин.
Nous lui devons TOUT ! Pourquoi ses films ne passent plus à la télé ? Certains, comme "Le Dictateur", devraient même faire partie des programmes scolaires. Merci Monsieur Chaplin
Это великое искусство! В то время создавались такие шедевры ... сейчас и цвет и компьютерная графика , а ничего не создается подобного.....и не смешно и не искренне.....Да.... Чаплин уникален❤❤❤❤ золото кинематографа
По улице ходила большая крокодила ... А бедный Чарли Чаплин окурки подбирал... Вариантов очень много на знакомый с детства мотив. Талант и в чёрно-белом и без звука а уж со звуком тем более, во все времена остаётся с нами! Браво , Чаплин!
If you see the whole movie you will notice that the first person who talks coherently in a Chaplin picture is the president of the factory and both times he is speaking from a screen, giving instructions to a supervisor and ordering Charlie to get back to work while he is taking a break to smoke. And since no other character talks during the rest of the movie it can be said that technically it was shot as a silent movie because with the exception of Charlie' singing no dialogue is recorded 'live' in the set. Pure genius !!!
when i was at drama school we had an exercise of gibberish, which is exactly what Chaplin is doing here. It was REALLY difficult, and this is just superb. What a talented performer he was!
Chaplin's relationships with women were not especially healthy, IMO. He and Goddard, who was nearly 20 years younger than he, lived together before they married, which was thoroughly unacceptable in 1930s Hollywood. Her association with him really stunted her career, even though she was a very good actress. His second wife, Lita Grey, (Paulette was his third) became pregnant by him when she was just 15, and they didn't marry until a year after that. His last of four wives was Oona O'Neil, who was 36 years his junior and only 17 when they married. The fourth time was the charm -- they were married 34 years (until his death) and had eight children.
LWOPP Chaplin also badly beat Goddard, as well as at least one of his other wives. If he were alive today, he would have had a record for domestic violence. ☹️ In the 1950s, during the McCarthy "Red Menace" Era (where pretty much everyone was suspected of being a communist or having communist sympathies), Chaplin was caught up in the frenzy. His American citizenship was revoked and he was deported. His fourth - and last - wife at that time, Oona, renounced her own American citizenship and joined him in exile in Switzerland, where he lived out the remainder of his days. As talented as he was, all his life Chaplin seemed to be a deeply troubled soul. 🤔
Oh, yes. He was. His childhood was a Dickensian nightmare. I don't care for that flowery, Victorian aspect of his personality, but since it was probably a coping mechanism for real horror, I get that.

I love him. I strongly recommend reading his autobiography. Ive read 2 books of his cover to cover so far and I'm on my third. He loved to write. He did so much more than film, he truly is a genius. I love him!!!
I just come back to his museum in Switzerland. You have to visit this one day. The job they did is simply fantastic! You are in the Chaplin's atmosphere during all the time and discover the artist and the man. You walk in his house, in his life and fall in love about Charles Spencer Chaplin, I swear. Well, you will not regret :)
Probablement une des scènes les plus mémorables de ce pur chef d'œuvre avec ce Monsieur Chaplin qui est juste un acteur hors normes et visionnaire, merci Chaplin pour tout ce que vous nous avez laissé ❤❤❤
@@barbarabruce7648, здравствуйте, он был ЛЕВШОЙ? О, я тоже являюсь левшой, но скрипку держу, как праворукий человек. Надо посмотреть, как уважаемый Чарльз держит скрипку...
I love how after all of these years when he finally talks, all he is doing is really the same thing he has been doing for over a decade, entertain people and tell a story without actually saying anything
we just watched modern times in class today i loved it. one of my favorite parts was this song, not only because its funny i like how he stayed true to himself because he wanted his movies to relay on movement so it could be understood in all languages. and he made this gibberish song so youd still have to relay on his hands and body language
The thumbs up to thumbs down ratio on this video is currently 99.98% Like versus 0.02% Dislike. I think we have a consensus. Chaplin was such a giant star in his day. He was a wonderful entertainer, writer, actor, musician and human being.
We had a conference about Chaplin during my school's cinema festival, my speciality class and we talked about this song that shouldn't be translated bc of it's non sense. Studying one of Chaplin's other movies « City Lights » for final exams is truly amazing ! An icon of the cinema !
Elizabeth Hobbs: You don't understand the song because you're not SUPPOSED to understand it. It's pure gibberish! In the context of the film, Chaplin's character is expected to suddenly sing a song before an audience to the melody of music being played. Chaplin's character had no time to prepare and doesn't know the song, so he immediately makes up a bunch of fake, gibberish lyrics to fit the melody.
A message to everyone trying to figure out the lyrics/language for the song: People, the lyrics are nonsense, they are not supposed to be understood. In fact, when this film was released overseas, Chaplin made it a point to tell the studio to make sure other countries didn't make subtitle cards for the song, as it was not meant to make sense. It is all double-talk.

I. Th. He also thought that talking cinema wouldn't last long. The first movie that really marks the beginning of Chaplin's talking movies is the dictator in 1941
@I Sadly that turned out to be true in a way; while Chaplin is still regarded as very talented, very few actually watch his films as anything more than historical curiousities, largely because they are black and white and silent.
