At a time when the whole world was struggling from economic meltdown, Charlie Chaplin made "destitute" a term of endearment. We may laugh when we see Charlie Chaplin so broke that he has to boil his shoes and eat them, but during the worst parts of the economic collapse of the 1920s and 1930s, some people had to do just that. So, at the time, even though many would laugh at the crazy tramp's antics, they could also relate and identify with them. And the fact that Charlie Chaplin's tramp character could be completely broke with his pockets turned out, sitting in a gutter with the rain pouring down, yet still be happy, gave people quite a bit of encouragement. People thought that if the homeless, wandering tramp portrayed in Chaplin's films could get through such rough times and be all right, maybe they could too. As goofy as some of Chaplin's slapstick comedic moments are in his films, it was the way he just kept trundling along, even in the face of great adversity that empowered so many. It was this tantalizing glimpse of hope more than anything else, that kept them coming back for more. Members Reviews: A good biographical account Charlie Chaplin is a well known and popular figure, remembered for his hilarious movies that would light up with happiness every bit of sadness that exists in one's life. The book showed briefly his childhood, his rise to fame as well as glimpses of his personal life. It was insightful to get a glance at his intimate life. However, the book isn't comprehensive but just an account of key events in his life. For those of us interested in more details we would have to look elsewhere. But a good book nonetheless. One of the Best Hourly History books Yet. Probably the best and most accurate Hourly History Book so far. Although Chaplin had a real problem with younger women, some underage, I believe he was a true capitalist and not a communist. I believe he sympathized with the grief of the Russian people not with their governments political position. Five Stars A great review of the life of a great artist. Great book for a coffee break A quick read from beginning to end. Sums of the life of Mr. Chaplin nicely. For a break in your day -this is the perfect book. A wonderful story of The Great Tramp A wonderful story of The Great Tramp. Before reading this book, Charlie was only a name; now, he is an artist I want to know better.
