I submitted a couple blogs on Chaplin throughout the day but didn't see them up on blogger, so I re-posted them again, hopefully they'll appear. They won't be labelled as separate posts. Even though he was known mainly for his silent films, he loved the cinema so much that he eventually did give talking films a try. People generally associate Chaplin with his silent films, but the few talking films he directed were just as legendary as his silent classics. Chaplin’s art is so moving that even today, big-time Hollywood filmmakers are making silent films in his honor. I have yet to find my true talent in life, but when I do I will stick to it, and will never give up my abilities if people don't seem to like it. I learned from Chaplin that if I am good at what I do, then I should persist and hopefully prevail, just as he did.
Chaplin’s story is hopeful, as he finally earned the love of filmgoers through his hard work and genius. Silent Film was his craft, just as Donatello's craft was sculptures. He stuck with his craft even when nobody seemed to support him. He continued to pursue his art over a decade after it was evident that other filmmakers had left silent films behind. When people saw his silent films during the sound era, they realized, just as Chaplin did, that movies don’t need to consist of people talking in order to be amusing.
