    The Great Dictator was a full length talkie with Charlie as a comic version of hitler but with the insight as to how hitler got people to believe in him. It is a Landmark Movie.

      And made in 1940, when Europe feared Hitler and the US did not give him importance. Pure bravery and vision for the future. A cinema genius!

    As far as the music and especially piano parts In those old silent movies, I actually participated as the piano player in one of those events at a local theater once, where we replicated the old setup. In the very early days, the movie was strictly silent with the black and white captions, but then when it was shown in a small theater, there would be a talented piano player down at the front right below the screen playing on an old upright piano , and watching the action and improvising to it to add drama and suspense and tension and excitement and humor.

    Loved Charlie Chaplin. The silent films were amazing.

    Yep, no CGI back in those days, and the kinds of risks he took but how well he did it is amazing, considering lots of efforts in that direction in modern times. He put himself in so many dangerous situations that required incredible athleticism. Buster Keaton as well. This is from my grandparents generation but my parents were huge fans as well because they were exposed to it when they were young, and I had increasing respect for it the older I got. But I still found it highly entertaining when I was a little kid. I just didn't realize how amazing it really was.

    Charlie Chaplin was a super talented man! He did writing, editing, directing, producing, he composed his own music. He wrote over 2 dozen published songs & nearly 900 minutes of film music. I have a 2 set cd of his music! You can also see that his timing was just right & he did many of his own stunts. There he was even ice skating! Thank you for some good ol Charlie Chaplin… True physical comedy! Quick suggestion…You would LOVE Tim Conway in “The Dentist.” I hope you will consider doing that at some point.. it’s soooo funny! Thank u Silas!

    Would love to see you do a reaction video to the movie "The Kid". It's about an hour long so perhaps you can make a video of you reacting to the whole thing and then edit down to about 5 minutes of highlights. So happy you have discovered Chaplin. He is quite extraordinary -- in terms of talent, way above even the Marx Brothers. He produced, directed, and starred in his own films -- and he also edited his own films (in his own studio he built himself), cast his own films, and even wrote much of the music for his own films.

    Mel Brooks made a satirical silent comedy film in 1976 called "Silent Movie"
    As I recall, no one spoke during the movie, until towards the end,
    when a famous mime (Marcel Marceau) spoke one word.

    I'm at the part where he's up on the pole, and you are focusing on him playing it off cool, but think about how difficult it is to do what he's doing. I'm assuming you are quite athletic as well, especially at your age, just like I was, but man, can you imagine actually doing everything he did while he was up on that pole, hanging on with his legs, including the descent at the end? That's wild.

    At one time I owned most of his shorts as well as his full length films. He was a master of movement and conveying emotion without using dialogue. He was as graceful as a classically trained dancer and his ability roller skate just showed how incredibly talented he truly was. ✌️☮️

    Chaplin made films into the 1950's, so yes, he made sound films. Sound films were well established in the 1930's and sound was synced quite well but Chaplin still wanted to keep his tramp silent but he did add a musical soundtrack and sound effects so essentially Modern Times was a sound film done in a mostly silent way. As far as the lion cage, even in the 1920's there were special effects. Other than the shot where the lion walked right up to Charlie, they were not in the cage together. The same for the tiger. They used a split screen technique, where half the film was exposed to and the lion was filmed. Then the film was rewound and the other half was exposed and Charlie was filmed. It's hard to tell exactly where the split was because there were so many vertical lines, such as the bars of the cage.

    Why did you cut The Factory scene out of your reaction???
    I don't know if you plan to do actual movie reactions on your channel, but you should do Modern Times (1936). It's his masterpiece, and I saw it when I was about your age and have loved it every since. He dominated Hollywood for the first decade of serious moviemaking (1915-1925). He was the biggest star in the world because his silent movies made sense in any language.

    On the contrary, by 1936 Hollywood was already well into to talking movies with sound, but Charlie Chaplin didn't give a fuck- he went on to making 2 more silent movies which were City Lights & Modern Times. His first talkies was The Great Dictator. One of my favorite Chaplin films is 'Behind the screen' is one of his older films and is only 28 minutes long, but i think its funny.

    Harold Lloyd was amazing. His timing and precision were spot on. Check him out. And see The Kid by Charlie Chaplin. It’s touching, funny, and short.

    You might like seeing the movie "Chaplin" (1992).
    Stars a young Robert Downey Jr as Charlie Chaplin (who portrayed Charlie throughout his adult life)
    [RDJ was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe; And he won a BAFTA for his role.]

    The whole movie is a classic. Chaplin was one of the greatest comedy geniuses in film history. Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd are the other two giants of (mostly) silent film.

    I'd love to go on a Chaplin ride - especially since they said he worked all the way up to a year before he passed.

    “The Great Dictator” (1940) is a must . Chaplin plays both leading roles : a ruthless fascist dictator and a persecuted Jewish Barber . Charlie Chaplin & Hitler were born within a week of each other . There are confirmed reports that Hitler had a viewing a the film . Another outstanding choice would be : “City Lights” (1931) . Perhaps my favorite of his . ENJOY ! 🎥🎞👍

    And for the love of god, could you please stop looking at yourself instead of the thing you are supposed to be reacting to? It's very distracting and you miss important bits.
