I've always known who Charlie Chaplin was.
"Who's Charlie Chaplin?" they'd say.
I'd reply with, "You know, the guy with the funny mustache that was in black and white films."
And that is true, isn't it?
Observe the picture: Does he not have a funny mustache? Is he in black and white?
Case closed.
But the other day in class, I was able to actually watch a Charlie Chaplin film entitled Modern Times.
What did I learn? Charlie Chaplin is surprisingly small. Why did I think he was taller? He's like a pocket gnome!
I actually liked the film. First of all, Charlie Chaplin reminds me so much of my grandpa. They're both really short and weird. So I found the movie funny because I kept thinking of my grandpa, who acts just like that.
If I didn't keep imagining my grandpa in Charlie's role, I might not have found the movie funny so much as silly. It was silly. Silly humour is not my favourite, but the grandpa thing...you know. It was funny.
Overall, I enjoyed the film and was disappointed that I could not finish it in class. Will I become Charlie Chaplin's #1 fan and stalk him and his family? *ponders for a moment* Hmmm....maybe not, although that does sound fun.
The film was silly, but fairly funny. The style of humour is very dated, but still funny. If something is truly funny, it will always be funny. He got a few laughs out of me!
Well, mostly because of the grandpa thing. Maybe if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have found it as funny. I'm really biased here....and confused.
I don't know what to think!!!!
