Adorno, Theodor W.; MacKay, John.
"Chaplin times two." Yale Journal of Criticism v9, n1 (Spring, 1996):57 (5 pages).
"Two essays, 'Prophesied by Kierkegaard' and 'In Malibu,' dwell upon the artistic and humanistic sides of comedian Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin's arrival as a world class comedian was foreseen by Kierkegaard when he saw the performance of a comedian named Beckmann at the Friedrichstadter Theater in Berlin. He had mastered the ability to 'come walking.' The proximity to cruelty and domination in Chaplin's comedy, which combines toughness with poignancy, is revealed through an anecdote involving Chaplin at Malibu, near Los Angeles, CA."

The similarities between Leopold Bloom and Charlie Chaplin, the 20th century's greatest comic creations, are worth consideration. Both have shrewdness and pathos combined. Bloom lacks the strain of violence which Chaplin has, but in both there is a sensitivity to the world's helpless and poor, even animals. Both are soft-hearted as well as tough-minded, and both are mock-heroic. The most significant affinity between Joyce, the creator of Leopold Bloom, and Chaplin is the achievement of both artists in the area of the interior monologue." [Magazine Index]

"Mandelstam's poems, after his imprisonment in Stalin's regime, reveal his identifying himself with the character of the tramp, portrayed by comedian Charlie Chaplin. Mandelstam viewed the tramp's life as a protest against those who oppressed him and whose fame endured while the others were forgotten. The poet celebrates the spirit of the tramp, ignored by society and imposed upon by authority. The poet is similarly punished for his beliefs but chooses to meet his oppressors with wit, comedy and wisdom." [Magazine Index]

"An examination of Walter Kerr's analysis in The Silent Clowns of the character played by Charlie Chaplin in his silent films. In Kerr's view, the writer explains, Chaplin's character is a no one who could be anyone. He examines arguments for and against this view and seeks to synthesize both positions. He observes that statements about fictional characters can be referential or formal, and he argues that to infer the correctness of a referential statement about a character from the correctness of a formal statement about them is a case of what he calls the referential fallacy. This, he suggests, is the error that Kerr commits in his analysis of Chaplin's character. Fictional characters cannot exist as actual people in any possible world, the writer points out, even though the referential claims that are true about them may be true of many people in various worlds."

For instance, Humbert and Chaplin were observed to be particularly attracted to young girls. Furthermore, Chaplin, who played the role of 'Verdoux' in 'Monsieur Verdoux: A Comedy of Murders' attempts to murder the proud Annabella while in a rowboat on a lake, but fails. Humbert, in 'Lolita,' also fails to achieve his plans to drown Lolita's mother in Hourglass Lake." [Magazine Index]

He is the first man to demonstrate to the audience that he understands the art of the cinema. He neither speaks, writes nor explains and has no use for the mask used by traditional mimes. He, however, shows what is human in people, which is for a person to speak to another person." [Magazine Index]

Chaplin's works transcends all geographic, social and intellectual boundaries with its sympathy and warm sensitivity for the downtrodden. 'The Circus,' one of his later films, ends on a sad note, possibly indicating that though Chaplin has indeed travelled a long way from vagrancy to affluence, he realized that happy endings are rarities in real life and happy moments are merely momentary interludes."

Chaplin was able to slowly reveal character nuances through dreams. He also utilized short daydreams in his films which revealed his inner thoughts. Moreover, Chaplin's films demonstrated his thought process as a director via a character whom audiences can look down on while observing their own faults, and which represented man's hopes for success and fear of failure."

" Walter Benjamin and Rudolf Arnheim emphasize the introspective conservatism of Chaplin's style, but their justifications about the value of this conservatism differ. Benjamin emphasizes Chaplin's resistance to technology, while Arnheim stresses Chaplin's revelatory yet patient camera eye, for justifying the conservatism. The superiority of Chaplin's films lie in the poetry that pervades in them and his success in making viewers laugh through his films. In Chaplin's films, the characters are engaged in weird occupations which bear a striking resemblance to reality." [Magazine Index]

" Richard Attenborough's film "Chaplin" uses scenes from Charlie Chaplin's movies effectively and Robert Downey, Jr.'s performance is convincing, but the film fails to accurately portray the political climate that lead to his exile. J. Edgar Hoover's dislike for Chaplin is seen as the reason for his departure to Switzerland, but in reality the political opposition to Chaplin and his work was much broader. Biography films often suffer from the need to compress time, but the film should have spent more time focusing on his political problems." [Magazine Index]

"The 16 two-reelers that Charlie Chaplin made for Essanay studios in 1915 and 1916 reveal the details of the director's transition from comedian to filmmaker. When joining Essanay, Chaplin was at first apprehensive about the cold, factory-like quality of the production facilities, but he took solace in the fact that he would have more creative freedom than at Keystone, his previous studio. Film historians usually cite Chaplin's sixth Essanay film, The Tramp, as the most significant in terms of adding depth to his characterization and embarking on a markedly different style. It is, however, his fifth Essanay, A Jitney Elopement, which transportsChaplin beyond the simple nuances or refinement of Keystone situations to present an original concept that is far more subtle and substantial than his earlier work."

Chaplin was a very significant source of inspiration for the Surrealists, but he became a target of ridicule for the Situationists, who labeled him a reactionary. Though Situationists acknowledged their indebtedness to Surrealism, they also critiqued Surrealism's confidence in the revolutionary potentials of the unconsciousness, and critiqued the alliance between Surrealism and the French Communist Party. The Situationist International distanced itself from all predominant political organizations and trends and derived inspiration for its actions and theories in council communism and Western Marxism."

It is revealed that his incorrect statement regarding the influence of Charlie Chaplin on Svevo is concluded to be an indication of a repression of psychoanalysis." [Expanded Academic Index]

"Chaplin and the comedy of melodrama." Journal of Film and Video v46, n3 (Fall, 1994):3 (13 pages).
"Charlie Chaplin used melodramatic humor in films such as 'The Kid,' 'City Lights,' and 'The Immigrant,' to portray the dismal lives of the impoverished. The melodramatic scenes in these films were laced with dozes of comedy that struck the right chord of sentimentality." [Magazine Index]

"Adolf Hitler As Portrayed In Drama And Film During His Lifetime." Journal of Popular Culture 1979 13(1): 55-66.
"Analysis of several of the characterizations of Adolf Hitler by dramatists and filmmakers from 1921 to 1941 reveal striking parallels to subsequent analyses by historians. Portrayals of Hitler in Stanislaw Witkiewicz's Gyubal (1921), George Bernard Shaw's Geneva (1938), Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator (1940), and Ferenc Kormendi's Adversary of Men (1941) have similarities with the interpretations of such postwar historians as Alan Bullock, A. J. P. Taylor, and George H. Stein." [Historical Abstracts]

"The Great Dictator and Maus: 'The Comical' before and after the Holocaust." Proteus: A Journal of Ideas, 1995 Fall, 12:2, 47-50.
"Examines the evolution of humor, from slapstick to remembrance, in Holocaust literature. In the film The Great Dictator (1940), actor Charlie Chaplin portrays a comical but maniacal Hitler and a Jewish victim who is consoled through humor. His pre-Holocaust consciousness allowed Chaplin, an antifascist, to ignore the impending genocidal disaster, an artistic approach he later regretted. From a post-Holocaust perspective, cartoonist Art Spiegelman, in his comic books Maus I (1986) and Maus II (1991), utilized metaphors of mice, cats, and pigs to represent the Jews, Nazis, and Poles, respectively. His work, sometimes humorous but always haunting, serves as a testimonial to Holocaust victims and as a witness to the horrors they experienced." [Historical Absracts]

Attitudes to time were changed by the Industrial Revolution, with time coming to be seen as scarce, and more emphasis being placed on the idea of being busy. Students can look at their own lives in order to understand this better. Resources for students include the movie 'Modern Times', featuring Charlie Chaplin." [Expanded Academic Index]
