I don't know if this has been sometime discussed here, but why aren't Chaplin's movies so celebrated and admired has many things that have no value at all are? I mean, what could be more fascinating than one of the tramp movies? Or even Chaplin's first movie, Making A Living, that is truly remarkable! His movies should be in our education and culture and in the very interior of our brain like beethoven and chopin, it would be a marvellous society...
I like very very much "Modern Times", The Gold Rush", other small movies like "Cruel Cruel Love" and, above all, his final speech in "The Great Dictator"...
PS: Can someone tell me if Chaplin played the piano? I know he played violin and he has some interesting pieces like "Smile" and "Eternally", but I heard that he actually couldn't read or write any music....)
