Chaplin

One of the geatest themes I have picked up from the few Charlie Chaplin movies

that I have seen is that he always has the things that he charishes most taken away from

him and I, and how his life so much reflects his charectors, because at a young age

Chaplins mother went mad and for a time he and his brother had to live on the streets until

they were put into an orphanage. It directly relates to him because he was and you see

how he sees the world even in the silent movies he made

In "The Kid" Chaplin"The Tramp" looses the child that he took in as his own, and

raised they boy as if it were his own, and when the boy gets sick "The Tramp" is forced to

call a doctor and when the doctor asks if this is his son he shows the doctor the note that

he received

when he found the baby and the doctor leaves and say's, that this child needs

proper care. So later comes the orphanage to take away the boy, and "The Tramp" puts

up a huge fight but looses and then tracks them down before they can reach the orphanage

and this goes on with the "bad guys" taking the boy and him retrieving him until they reach

the boys biological mother who takes them in. This movie relates to Chaplin's own life

very closely because, at the beginning

the women has to give up her baby because she is not

fit to be a mother and almost the same thing happened in Chaplin's own life.

In "City Lights" Chaplin also has somthing taken away from him that he most

cherishes. In this movie the thing he most charishes is seeing the blind girl he loves, and

when charlie is wrongly accused of stealing money from a drunk friend

he is put in
