About this movie

Directed by Sir Richard Attenborough and starring Robert Downey, Jr. and an extraordinary cast, CHAPLIN is a loving, grand scale portrait of the Little Tramp's amazing life and times. His poverty-stricken childhood in England comes to life, along with his friendships with Mack Sennett (Dan Aykroyd) and Douglas Fairbanks (Kevin Kline), his many wives and scandalous affairs, and his relentless pursuit by J. Edgar Hoover. CHAPLIN is the larger-than-life story of the actor behind the icon and a stunning depiction of a bygone era when Hollywood was at its most glamorous.

Rdj was great in this movie. He portrayed Chaplin so good as a fan of the original movies he's done I think he portrayed his part well. I love this movie and its one of my favorite movies. I wish he would have won an Oscar for this role. Simply amazing.

One of Downeys BEST performances. A great supporting cast of actors. Wonderful story about a forgotten genius who only wanted to make people laugh. John Barry created another wonderful movie score.

Love Robert's taken on Charlie. But had complicated lives and scandals, but came out on top.
