Charles Chaplin
Charles Spencer Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889, in
London. He, a poor boy, without education, born in a ghetto, amid decadent
artists, managed to become one of the most creative and fascinating
personalities in film history. He was an actor, director, producer, comedian, entrepreneur,
writer, comedian, dancer, writer and musician.
His father, Charles Spencer Chaplin
Sr., was a singer and actor, and his mother, Hannah Chaplin, was a singer and
actress. It was with them that Chaplin learned to sing. At three years old, his
parents separated, which caused a terrible family crisis. The artist's personal
life was also marked by poverty, abandonment, madness of the mother and
father's alcoholism.
As a young man, he came to the United
States, where he had contact with the film industry. There he developed his
principal and most famous character: The Tramp (Carlitos or "O Vagabundo"
in Brazil), a bum who is poor and looks like a gentleman, wearing a frayed
black tailcoat, trousers and worn shoes and wider than his number, a bowler
hat, a bamboo cane, and – his personal brand - a small mustache.
In 1918 he opened his own film
company, and from then on he made his own screenplays and directed films.
Throughout his career, he made remarkable masterpieces that brought so comical
and critical messages to humanity and its social problems.

humanity."

success."

wasted."
