Chaplin

Chaplin, "First Love", pursued the original intention of never giving up all his life, and integrated the family affection, love, friendship and struggle of his youth into his works. First of all, I would like to praise Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills when he was young. Silent films rely on body language to express emotions better than straightforward lines. Downey completed the tribute to Chaplin, the comedy genius, with exquisite action details and expressions.

The film also mentioned the background of "Modern Times". After the economic crisis, machines replaced manpower, and a large number of poor people were unemployed. For this reason, Chaplin made this film.

Finally, I want to say that this biographical film is worth watching because of the performance of such celebrities from multiple angles and because of the superb acting skills of the male lead.
