Life lessons from Charlie Chaplin

This story is about two lonely and abandoned people who, despite all the life's troubles, remain one. This meeting, which occurred between the two main characters, was natural - after all, that the tramp Charlie, that the kid - people offended and unhappy. And therefore, having united once, they, as shown in the film, will never abandon each other. Dear vagabond Charlie, a man living every day, not building plans and projects for the future, did not even suspect that someone could throw a baby on the street unattended. Therefore, he did not dare take responsibility for the child for so long, because he himself was still in his heart.

In general, their cohabitation, I mean tramp and toddler, was similar to how two friends live together. Probably, Chaplin hinted at this fact that it is not the father and the son, but two brothers. Or he wanted to say that these are two kindred souls, two loners, abandoned and forgotten. But as it turned out later, the mother does not forget the baby and, ironically, she finds him in the poor quarter where he and Charlie lived five good and happy years. Suffice it to recall one moment when the character Jackie Coogan (baby) cooked pancakes, and Charlie, waiting for everything to be done, sat down at the table and began to share equally a portion of pancakes, one of which was more pancakes and the elder, seeing the injustice in the culinary section property, corrected this misunderstanding. In other words - what idyll and harmony reigned at that moment, what calm and happy faces, not at all alarmed by their poor social position. And this is the most that neither is true. The great Charles Chaplin wanted to say this picture: "Happy people in life need very little, the main portion of happiness, each of them carries within itself."

The film is subject to the world classics of cinematography and is included in the national film registry of the USA. True, the star on the Walk of Fame Chaplin was not installed as soon as he would have liked, only in 1972. And many expressed dissatisfaction - that supposedly "who is Charlie Chaplin, a cheap comedian and nothing else!" But Chaplin only wanted people to be people and do good in this world, like his character who picked up a baby and brought up a wonderful boy .
