Very good. I had my reservations about Chaplin, but all it takes is to get to know about a person to suddenly be on their side. He's a legend for sure.
Awesome documentary - I'm freshly after watching "A King in New York", and this documentary explained me many, many things. Absolutely fantastic Jim thoughts, interesting Michel Chaplin impressions. I really appreciate your work. Thanks a lot!
Mr. Jarmusch is a highly entertaining and whip smart interview. Certainly among the very best in this excellent series. Is is not odd that the Times Square he describes and that we are shown is from 20 years ago?
I've been thinking lately of the incalculable loss when the U.S. kicked Chaplin out. I know he wasn't big on interviews, but would he have done Dick Cavett, Merv Griffin? Lectures at universities? Would he have attended Disneyland's grand opening with his young family? Knowing how much he enjoyed being the center of attention, I have a feeling he would have shared a lot with the public. I think the U.S. lost a lot on this one.
Charlie Chaplin could have appeared on Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas and Dick Cavett and Lectured on comedy techniques and the history of film comedy..if those nutcases Sen.McC-! and Mr.Hoover had left him alone.And Charlie didn't go messing around with that other nutty and perverse B-! Ms.Joan Barry.
Well all our loss really. Because he would most importantly have kept his own studio and who knows what films he would have made in 1950's and early 1960's. He would have the time more than he had filming King in NY in Elstree and the fiasco Counters was.
Je t adorerai toujours Respect pour toi Et ceux qui t on accompagné dans ta vie professionnelle Un grand merci pour ce grand bonheur celui de te voir à travers tes oeuvres
God-bless to a man I knew Charlie Chaplin was real bless of man when he worked he put his whole lifestyle into it and you can see that whatever happens with everybody else he imitates input on the Spring I think that's wonderful and God-bless him He was truly an amazing fellow at what he did or even spoke about my favourite is the dictator speech in what he says there describes everything about life On what things are coming in what things of already passed he was wise and fantastic Actor God-bless Charlie Chaplin were ever he is and I remember every single movie that he made and also seen every movie that he made one wonderful Actor at that God-bless you charlie wherever you are a man with dignity team fried To make you love to make you fall in love with the movie itself and to make you believe it now that was one quality man like Johnny Depp is exactly like Charlie Chaplin God-bless them both
A worthy addition to the canon that contains Modern Times and The Great Dictator. Robert Downey Jr. pulls off an illuminating portrayal of Chaplin in the movie of the same name.

Hey! Do you guys have the version of Weeping willows were Charlie Chaplin is singing that is starting to play in this video at 23:36? If anyone has this version, please comment it on this comment! :>
No, I'm afraid not, because that is the one film made after 1918 that does not belong to our Chaplin rights holding company Roy Export - it belongs to Universal..
No such thing as American culture; multiple cultures. That's the thing about these who don't intellectuals who examine art, they themselves only ever see part of the art. Because they themselves are without roots to hold them, and to reach beneath the surface. It was not a critique of American culture, the boy was proof of that. It was critique of the American assault on its own people.
