And that his memory was never in the slightest overshadowed by that of Hitler.

That scene where he plays with the balloon earth, kicking it into the air, fills me with wonder and horror at the same time.<br /><br />This is an important film, and I'm so glad you joined the blogathon with this one. Like you said, it has a timeless message.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-13782021599861453502016-10-01T10:00:12.903-04:002016-10-01T10:00:12.903-04:00Inge - it is scary how much this film reflects our...Inge - it is scary how much this film reflects our "Modern Times."FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-63644526325785915312016-10-01T09:59:32.828-04:002016-10-01T09:59:32.828-04:00Rich - thank you for stopping by.

Like you said, most actors wouldn't want the association, but Chaplin didn't seem to care. It's like in OFFICE SPACE, when Michael Bolton is asked why he doesn't change his name so people won't confuse him with the singer: "Why should I? He's the one who sucks!"Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-23206888287123736372016-09-30T15:53:52.791-04:002016-09-30T15:53:52.791-04:00Beautiful, Marsha!
