Very Good Documentary
4 October 2023
Very well put together documentary. The documentary embraces the style of the silent era whilst telling the story of Chaplin from a contemporary point of view.

A complex man. As all men are. As all humans are. A man scarred by a brutal, victorian, poverty stricken, working class upbringing who went on to become, possibly, the most famous man there's ever been in his own lifetime.

Beautifully narrated & scored. I like how the silent film era style has been embraced in the telling of the story. It's a very visual documentary.

The US paranoid and curupt political system/institutions of the 50s are highlighted in contrast to, The Great Dictator, speech & I like how that was done.

Overall, very good.
